Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: So much rain falling so fast causes some of the damage from a hurricane. But a lot of the damage is caused by storm surge. Storm surge is very high water located in the low pressure eye of the hurricane. The very low pressure of the eye allows the water level to rise above normal sea level. Storm surge can cause flooding when it reaches land ( Figure below ). High winds do a great deal of damage in hurricanes. High winds can also create very big waves. If the large waves are atop a storm surge, the high water can flood the shore. If the storm happens to occur at high tide, the water will rise even higher. Q: Storm surge is very high water located in the low pressure eye of what? Choices: - earthquakes - eruptions - tornados - hurricanes A:
A: hurricanes

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The scientific method is not a step by step, linear process. It is a way of learning about the world through the application of knowledge. Scientists must be able to have an idea of what the answer to an investigation should be. In order for scientists to make educated guesses about the answers, they will base their guesses on previous knowledge, with the notion of extending that knowledge. Scientists will often make an observation and then form a hypothesis to explain why a phenomenon occurred. They use all of their knowledge and a bit of imagination in their journey of discovery. Q: In the scientific method, what is the initial, unproven explanation for why something is occurring? Choices: - concepts - idea - theories - hypothesis A:
A: hypothesis

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure 11.7 Meiosis and mitosis are both preceded by one round of DNA replication; however, meiosis includes two nuclear divisions. The four daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct. The daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid and identical to the parent cell. Q: Meiosis and mitosis are both preceded by one round of what? Choices: - internal fertilization - germination - cellular respiration - dna replication A:
A: dna replication

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: When blood engorged capillaries leak fluid into neighboring tissues, what occurs? Choices: - bleeding - seeping - infection - swelling A:
