C165 Integrated Physical Sciences Practice Questions - Set 2 - Part 1

Correct Answer: To convey complex information clearly and accurately to specific audiences

Fog forms near the ground and consists of small water droplets, reducing visibility.

Correct Answer: Infrared radiation

Greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation, which is associated with heat, unlike nitrogen and oxygen.

Correct Answer: The temperature increases

Water vapor is a greenhouse gas that traps heat, leading to an increase in temperature.

Correct Answer: Hurricane

Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters. As warm, moist air rises and condenses, it creates the powerful spinning storm.

Correct Answer: Convergent boundary

The Himalayas were formed by the collision of two tectonic plates at a convergent boundary, causing the land to rise and form the mountain range.

Correct Answer: Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps heat in Earth's atmosphere and contributes to global warming.

Correct Answer: The temperature increases

The greenhouse effect traps heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in surface temperature.

Correct Answer: Electromagnetic wave

Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through the vacuum of space without the need for a medium.

Correct Answer: Mars

Mars is known as the "Red Planet" because of its reddish appearance, caused by iron oxide (rust) on its surface.

Correct Answer: Amazon River

The Amazon River in South America is the longest river in the world by discharge and one of the longest by length.

Correct Answer: Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce food (glucose) and oxygen.

Correct Answer: Ampere

The unit of electric current is the Ampere, which measures the flow of electric charge in a conductor.

Correct Answer: Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell is credited with the invention of the telephone in 1876.

Correct Answer: Paris

Paris is the capital and largest city of France, known for landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower.

Correct Answer: Carbon Dioxide

Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis, using it to produce glucose and oxygen.

Correct Answer: Jupiter

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, known for its Great Red Spot and numerous moons.

Correct Answer: Oxygen

The chemical symbol 'O' represents Oxygen, a vital element for respiration and combustion.

Correct Answer: Leonardo da Vinci

The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance era, around 1503-1506.

Correct Answer: Au

The chemical symbol for gold is Au, derived from the Latin word 'aurum'.

Correct Answer: Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein developed the theory of general relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity.
