Q: What material is transported in a process called longshore drift? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The transport of sediments by longshore currents is called longshore drift . Longshore drift is created in this way: Sediment is moved up the beach by an incoming wave. The wave approaches at an angle to the shore. Water then moves straight offshore. The sediment moves straight down the beach with it. The sediment is again picked up by a wave that is coming in at an angle. So longshore drift moves sediment along the shore. This zig-zag motion is pictured below ( Figure below ) and can also be seen at the link below. Choices: - boats - foods - grass - sediment A:
sediment

Q: What system carries nerve impulses to internal organs, controlling activities that are not under your control, such as sweating and digesting food?

It controls activities that are not under your control, such as sweating and digesting food. The autonomic nervous system has two parts:. Choices: - limbic nervous system - circulatory nervous system - hormonal nervous system - autonomic nervous system A:

Q: What is the name of the disorder of the arteries in which cholesterol and other materials are deposited on the interior of the arterial wall? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Cholesterol has been implicated in heart disease for decades. Atherosclerosis is a disorder of the arteries in which cholesterol and other materials are deposited on the interior of the arterial wall. These deposits lead to the formation of plaques that can restrict or even block the flow of blood through these blood vessels (see Figure below ). A decrease in the flow of blood can lead to high blood pressure and a lowered oxygen supply to the heart muscle. A complete blockage of blood flow to parts of the heart (a heart attack) can cause significant damage due to oxygen deprivation, in some cases leading to death. Choices: - arthritis - anemia - paralysis - atherosclerosis A:
atherosclerosis

Q: At a convergent plate boundary, when one plate is oceanic, there are large what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: At a convergent plate boundary, when one plate is oceanic, there are large volcanoes. These volcanoes are found in lines that outline the subduction zone. Earthquakes also happen in these zones. The Aleutian Islands that border southern Alaska are an island arc. In this winter image from space, the volcanoes are covered with snow. Choices: - plateaus - lakes - earthquakes - volcanoes A:
volcanoes
