Question text
Which of the following things happens when you perspire while exercising?
Select one:
a. Your body gives off excess heat CorrectA considerable amount of heat energy is needed to turn a ram
of water (in the form of sweat) to a gram of water vapor. So, each molecule of water that evaporates and
leaves the skin carries heat energy with it. Thus, evaporation of perspiration helps rid the body of excess
heat. This is called evaporative cooling.

Which layer of the atmosphere returns radio and TV broadcasts back to Earth?
Select one:
a. Exosphere
b. Troposphere
c. Stratosphere
d. Ionosphere CorrectIonosphere or Thermosphere, is the name given to a layer or layers of ionized air in
the atmosphere extending from almost 80 km (50 mi) above the surface of the Earth to altitudes of 640
km (400 mi) and more. At these altitudes the air is extremely thin, having about the density of the gas in
a vacuum tube. The ionosphere exerts a great influence on the propagation of radio signals. Energy that
is radiated from a transmitter upwards towards the ionosphere is in part refracted, or bent downwards
again, towards the surface of the Earth. The bending effect makes possible the reception of radio signals
at distances much greater than would be possible for waves that travelled along the surface of the Earth.

cool air, the molecules move cloer together causing the air to become denser and to sink. Thus the
dense air causes a high pressure area. low pressure areas may form when air is warmed, causing
molecules to move apart and to become less dense. Air moves from an area of high pressure to an area

weathering as well as the composition of the soil forms. The mineral composition of the rock can affect
the rate of weathering as well as the composition of the soil. A spadeful of a dark, rich soil will reveal
