A graduated cylinder was filled with 50 ml of oil and a golden ring was dropped in it. After dropping the
ring the oil level rose to 56.5 ml. What does this mean?
The ring is denser that oil by 6.5 ml.
This does not mean anything and is a mysterious occurrence.
The ring is not made of gold since it displaced the oil.
C The ring is 6.5 ml in volume.
Liquid displacement is a method employed to measure the volume of irregular objects. The amount of
liquid displaced signifies the volume of the object.

Let Bisuke and Killua punch the same object a number of times then
C
compare the damage done
using the scientific method, we can let Bisuke and Killua punch the same object a number of times and
compare the damage done. (You would not want to be hurt in an experiment, right?)
Question 14

Comets
C Meteorites burned by contact with the atmosphere
When a meteoroid is pulled by gravity enters the Earth’s atmosphere, it gets burned lighting up the night
sky.
Question 17
CORRECT
During a weather forecast we sometimes encounter the term LPA or Low Pressure Area. How is this
important?
C LPA’s are areas where typhoons may form
LPA’s are areas where tsunamis may form
LPA’s are areas where an earthquake might happen
LPA’s are areas where icebergs may form
Since air moves horizontally from a high pressure area to a low pressure area, a Low Pressure Area is an
area where wind may accumulate and form typhoons.

C 431 dam
4310 dam
43.1 dam
0.431 dam
Deka has a factor of $latex \displaystyle {{10}^{1}}=10$. Thus, $latex \displaystyle (4.31\,km)\left(
\frac{1000\,m}{1\,km} \right)\left( \frac{1\,dam}{10\,m} \right)=431\,dam\,$

of the atmospheric elements in the area.
Question 26
CORRECT
What do you call the earth’s hard outer shell?
outer core
inner core
mantle
C Crust
the crust is the hard outer shell of the earth.

mayon.
Question 28
CORRECT
Which of the following is not fuel source?
Crude Oil
C Battery

store energy by chemical means.
Question 29
CORRECT
What is the primary source of energy in Earth?
Radioactive Materials
Plants
Wood
C The Sun
The sun is the earth’s primary source of energy. It provides light and heat energy. Plants store this energy
which is then transferred through consumption by animals. It powers the changes in climates which then
triggers water and air movements.
