Answer the following question given this paragraph: A compass needle lines up with Earth's magnetic north pole. This is different from Earth's geographic north pole, also called true north. The geographic north pole is the top of an imaginary line. This line is the axis around which Earth rotates. The geographic north pole is much like the spindle of a spinning top. The location of the geographic north pole does not change. However, the magnetic north pole shifts in location over time. Depending on where you live, you can correct for the difference between the two poles when you use a map and a compass ( Figure below ). Q: What is earth's geographic north pole also called? Choices: - mere north - vertical north - right north - true north A:
true north
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Kidney stones are mineral crystals that form in urine inside the kidney. They may be extremely painful. If they block a ureter, they must be removed so urine can leave the kidney and be excreted. Q: What kind of health problem can occur in the kidney and potentially cause problems with urination? Choices: - infection - diabetes - gallstones - kidney stones A:
kidney stones
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Lumbar Vertebrae Lumbar vertebrae carry the greatest amount of body weight and are thus characterized by the large size and thickness of the vertebral body (Figure 7.28). They have short transverse processes and a short, blunt spinous process that projects posteriorly. The articular processes are large, with the superior process facing backward and the inferior facing forward. Q: Which vertebrae carry the greatest amount of body weight and are thus characterized by the large size and thickness of the vertebral body? Choices: - artery vertebrae - invertebrae - thickness vertebrae - lumbar vertebrae A:
A: lumbar vertebrae
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The brain stem is the smallest of the three main parts of the brain. It lies directly under the cerebrum. The brain stem controls basic body functions, such as breathing, heartbeat, and digestion. The brain stem also carries information back and forth between the cerebrum and spinal cord. Q: What is the smallest main part of the brain? Choices: - the cortex - the claw - the cerebellum - the stem A:
Answer: the stem

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Convection is the transfer of thermal energy by particles moving through a fluid. Particles transfer energy by moving from warmer to cooler areas. That's how energy is transferred in the soup in Figure above . Particles of soup near the bottom of the pot get hot first. They have more energy so they spread out and become less dense. With lower density, these particles rise to the top of the pot (see Figure below ). By the time they reach the top of the pot they have cooled off. They have less energy to move apart, so they become denser. With greater density, the particles sink to the bottom of the pot, and the cycle repeats. This loop of moving particles is called a convection current . Q: Convection is the transfer of thermal energy by particles moving through what? Choices: - Solid - tissue - Metal - fluid A:
**Answer**
fluid
