Q: What effect describes how earth's rotation steers winds and surface ocean currents? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The Coriolis effect describes how Earth's rotation steers winds and surface ocean currents. Unlike land, air and water move freely (in the absence of obstacles). The Coriolis effect causes the path of a freely moving object to appear to curve. This is because Earth is rotating beneath the object. So even though the object's path is straight, it appears to curve. The curve appears to be to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. It appears to be to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Choices: - centripetal force - dorsalis - Big Bang theory - coriolis A:
(A).
coriolis

Q: Burning forests, growing rice and raising livestock all cause a release of what into the atmosphere? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Burning forests also releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Other human activities release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. For example, growing rice and raising livestock both produce methane. Choices: - oxide gases - carbonate gases - glucose gases - greenhouse gases A:
(A).
greenhouse gases

Q: Which group of species is defined as having moist skin without scales? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Amphibians have moist skin without scales. The skin is kept moist by mucus, which is secreted by mucous glands. In some species, the mucous glands also secrete toxins that make the animal poisonous to predators. The blue poison-dart frogs in Figure below are a good example. The toxin in their mucus is used by native people in South America to poison the tips of their hunting arrows. Choices: - fish - mammals - reptiles - amphibians A:
(A).
