Answer the following question given this paragraph: A mineral deposit that contains enough minerals to be mined for profit is called an ore . Ores are rocks that contain concentrations of valuable minerals. The bauxite shown in the Figure below is a rock that contains minerals that are used to make aluminum. Q: What type of rock contains concentrations of valuable minerals? Choices: - sedimentary - igneous - metamorphic - ores A:
ores
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: Steam consists of what common and essential element in its gaseous phase? Choices: - carbon dioxide - air - plasma - water A:
water
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The amount of stress on a rock may be greater than the rock's strength. In that case, the rock will undergo strain or deformation ( Figure below ). Deep within the Earth, the pressure is very great. A rock behaves like a stretched rubber band. When the stress stops, the rock goes back to its original shape. If more stress is applied to the rock, it bends and flows. It does not return to its original shape. Near the surface, if the stress continues, the rock will fracture (rupture) and break. Q: Deep within the earth what force is so great that a rock behaves like a stretched rubber band? Choices: - momentum - magnetism - volcanoes - pressure A:
A: pressure
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Technically, any redox reaction can be set up to make a voltaic cell. In modern society, however, only certain redox reactions are put to practical use. A portable voltaic cell that generates electricity to power devices for our convenience is called a battery. All batteries are based on redox reactions. The first battery (called a "voltaic pile") was constructed by the Italian scientist Alessandro Volta in 1800 and was based on the copper/zinc reaction depicted in - ball-ch14_s03_f01. Unfortunately, it was messy, requiring quantities of copper and zinc salts dissolved in water. In 1866, the French scientist Georges Leclanche invented the dry cell, a precursor to today's modern battery. A schematic of a dry cell is shown in - ball-ch14_s03_f02. The zinc case and the central carbon rod serve as the anode and cathode, respectively. The other reactants are combined into a moist paste that minimizes free liquid, so the battery is less messy (hence the name dry cell). The actual redox reaction is complex but can be represented by the following redox reaction: + 2+ Zn + 2MnO2 + 2NH4 Zn + Mn2O3 + 2NH3 + H2O A dry cell has a voltage of about 1.56 V. While common and useful, dry cells have relatively short lifetimes and contain acidic components. They also cannot be recharged, so they are one-use only. Batteries that can be used only once are calledprimary batteries. Figure 14.2 Dry Cells. Q: Technically, any redox reaction can be set up to make a what? Choices: - Black Cell - blocky cell - skaht cell - voltaic cell A:
Answer: voltaic cell

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Even though large life forms have been very successful on Earth, most of the life forms on Earth today are still prokaryotessmall, relatively simple single-celled organisms. Fossils indicate that many organisms that lived long ago are extinct. Extinction of species is common; in fact, it is estimated that 99% of the species that have ever lived on Earth no longer exist. Q: An estimated 99 percent of the species that have ever lived on earth no longer exist, showing that what event is common? Choices: - accumulation - over fishing - pollution - extinction A:
(Answer)
extinction
