Answer the following question given this paragraph: Some springs have water that contains minerals. Groundwater dissolves minerals out of the rock as it seeps through the pores. The water in some springs is hot because it is heated by hot magma. Many hot springs are also mineral springs. That's because hot water can dissolve more minerals than cold water. Q: The water in some springs are hot because they're heated by what? Choices: - gravity - the sun - fires - hot magma A:
hot magma

Answer the following question given this paragraph: There is great variation among species that make up the animal kingdom. Some of this variation is shown in Figure below . Despite the variation, there are a number of traits that are shared by all animals. The fact that all animals have certain traits in common shows that they share a common ancestor. How did such a diverse group of organisms evolve? What traits do all animals share? Read on to find out. Q: The fact that all animals have certain traits in common shows that they share what? Choices: - a common gene - a common brain - a common planet - a common ancestor A:
(Answer)
a common ancestor
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Mesophiles grow best in moderate temperature, typically between 25C and 40C (77F and 104F). Mesophiles are often found living in or on the bodies of humans or other animals. The optimal growth temperature of many pathogenic mesophiles is 37C (98F), the normal human body temperature. Mesophilic organisms have important uses in food preparation, including cheese, yogurt, beer and wine. Q: What type of organism is commonly used in preparation of foods such as cheese and yogurt? Choices: - protozoa - gymnosperms - viruses - mesophilic organisms A:
Ans: mesophilic organisms

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: Metabolism is the collection of what that occur in an organism? Choices: - mechanical reactions - growth reactions - mineral reactions - chemical reactions A:
(A).
chemical reactions
Ques:Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along certain planes. When a mineral breaks along a plane, it makes a smooth surface. Minerals with different crystal structures will break or cleave in different ways ( Figure below ). Halite tends to form cubes with smooth surfaces. Mica tends to form sheets. Fluorite can form octahedrons. Q: What term is used to describe the tendency of a mineral to break along certain planes? Choices: - tooth decay - porosis - erosion - cleavage A:

Ans:cleavage
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: When an earthquake will occur is much more difficult to predict. Stress on a fault builds up at the same rate over time. So earthquakes should occur at regular intervals. But, so far, scientists cannot predict when quakes will occur even to within a few years. Around Parkfield, California, an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 or higher occurs about every 22 years. So seismologists predicted that one would strike in 1993. But that quake came in 200411 years late ( Figure below ). Q: Stress building up at the same rate over time at a fault causes what phenomenon? Choices: - erosion - volcanoes - storms - earthquakes A:
Answer:
earthquakes
