The water slowly rises and falls because of tides. You may see signs warning of currents that flow close to shore. What causes all these ocean motions? Different types of motions have different causes. Q: What is the term for when the water of the ocean slowly rises and falls? Choices: - currents - dew - waves - tides A:
tides

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The most common type of mirage is an illusion that light from faraway objects is reflected by a pool of water that is not really there. Mirages are generally observed in deserts, when there is a hot layer of air near the ground. Given that the refractive index of air is lower for air at higher temperatures, explain how mirages can be formed. Q: What term is used to describe an illusion that light from faraway objects is reflected by a pool of water that is not really there? Choices: - version - prototype - Mirror - mirage A:
Answer: mirage

Answer the following question given this paragraph: 18.1 How Animals Reproduce Reproduction may be asexual when one individual produces genetically identical offspring, or sexual when the genetic material from two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring. Asexual reproduction in animals occurs through fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis. Sexual reproduction may involve fertilization inside the body or in the external environment. A species may have separate sexes or combined sexes; when the sexes are combined they may be expressed at different times in the life cycle. The sex of an individual may be determined by various chromosomal systems or environmental factors such as temperature. Sexual reproduction starts with the combination of a sperm and an egg in a process called fertilization. This can occur either outside the bodies or inside the female. The method of fertilization varies among animals. Some species release the egg and sperm into the environment, some species retain the egg and receive the sperm into the female body and then expel the developing embryo covered with shell, while still other species retain the developing offspring throughout the gestation period. Q: What type of reproduction begins when an egg and sperm combine? Choices: - natural reproduction - regular reproduction - asexual reproduction - sexual reproduction A:
(A).
sexual reproduction
