Answer the following question given this paragraph: The moment magnitude scale is the favored method of measuring earthquake magnitudes. It measures the total energy released by an earthquake. Moment magnitude is calculated by two things. One is the length of the fault break. The other is the distance the ground moves along the fault. Q: What scale measures the total energy released by an earthquake? A:

OPTIONS:
- moment radiation scale
- direct magnitude scale
- moment identification scale
- moment magnitude scale

Answer: moment magnitude scale

Problem: OPTIONS:
- hydrostatic skeleton
- fluid skeleton
- exoskelton
- endoskeleton
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sponges have an internal skeleton that gives them support and protection. An internal skeleton is called an endoskeleton . A sponge endoskeleton consists of short, sharp rods called spicules (see Figure below ). Spicules are made of silica, calcium carbonate, or spongin, a tough protein. They grow from specialized cells in the body of the sponge. Q: Sponges possess an internal skeleton called what? A:
Answer: endoskeleton

Problem:OPTIONS:
- hydrogen
- oxygen
- potassium
- carbon

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Chapter 2 1 Figure 2.3 Carbon-12 has six neutrons. Carbon-13 has seven neutrons. 3 Figure 2.24 C 4 A 6 C 8 D 10 C 12 D 14 Ionic bonds are created between ions. The electrons are not shared between the atoms, but rather are associated more with one ion than the other. Ionic bonds are strong bonds, but are weaker than covalent bonds, meaning it takes less energy to break an ionic bond compared with a covalent one. 16 Buffers absorb the free hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions that result from chemical reactions. Because they can bond these ions, they prevent increases or decreases in pH. An example of a buffer system is the bicarbonate system in the human body. This system is able to absorb hydrogen and hydroxide ions to prevent changes in pH and keep cells functioning properly. 18 Carbon is unique and found in all living things because it can form up to four covalent bonds between atoms or molecules. These can be nonpolar or polar covalent bonds, and they allow for the formation of long chains of carbon molecules that combine to form proteins and DNA. Q: What is unique and found in all living things because it can form up to four covalent bonds between atoms or molecules? A:
****
A: carbon

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What is the product of microfilament movement powered by chemical energy? A:
OPTIONS:
- blood circulation
- nerve stimulation
- muscle fusion
- muscle contraction
muscle contraction

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Like flowing water, wind picks up and transports particles. Wind carries particles of different sizes in the same ways that water carries them ( Figure below ). Q: How is flowing water and blowing wind similar? A:
OPTIONS:
- processes particles
- stocks particles
- phases particles
- transports particles

Answer: transports particles

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Waves are characterized by their repetitive motion. Imagine a toy boat riding the waves in a wave pool. As the water wave passes under the boat, it moves up and down in a regular and repeated fashion. While the wave travels horizontally, the boat only travels vertically up and down. The Figure below shows two examples of waves. Q: What kind of motion characterizes waves? A:
OPTIONS:
- round
- breathing
- bending
- repetitive
output:
repetitive
