soil
gravity
7
Air pollution has a negative effect on the-
hot water
Earth's core
floating plastics in the ocean
Ozone layer
8
What causes weightlessness in the ISS?
gravity equal to Earth's surface
less gravity and no free fall
more gravity than we're used to
constant free fall of orbit simulating no gravity
9
Astronauts used to return to Earth with weak muscles. Which of these accommodations were added to the ISS to help?
Increased oxygen levels aboard the ISS
Added exercise equipment to the ISS
Designed lighter spacesuits that were easier to wear
Better food choices for energy
10
Scientists looking for new planets that support life would need to look for everything EXCEPT...
liquid water on the surface
an orbiting moon
a gaseous atmosphere with oxygen
protection from solar radiation
11
Velcro lets things be attached and easily separated. What condition of space made the invention of Velcro necessary?
Lack of oxygen
Microgravity environment
Vacuum of space
Extreme temperatures
12
The Kepler space telescope-
lands on a planet
observes objects from far away
collects soil samples
is located on Mars
13
The ISS travels-
any speed it wants
equal to orbital velocity
below orbital velocity
above orbital velocity
14
Without air pressure, your body would...
stay the same
expand (get bigger) and NOT keep its original shape
smell
shrink
15
Life on Earth depends on energy from -
the Sun.
comets and meteors.
the Moon.
volcanoes.
16
Why do astronauts use radio waves to communicate?
Sign language is hard with big gloves
Sound does NOT travel through space
Sound travels well in space
it's cheaper than a cell phone
17
Holes damaging our ozone layer are created by certain chemicals. It's reasonable to predict that over time, organisms -
will run out of drinking water
be exposed to more ultraviolet radiation from the Sun
will have a difficult time breathing
will experience no change in temperature
18
To offset effects of micro-gravity environments on the human body in space, astronauts must -
take naps every day
eat high-fat meals
exercise regularly
shower twice a day
19
All of the following characteristics of Jupiter's moon Europa are conditions that make it suitable for life EXCEPT -
liquid water on the surface
oxygen in the atmosphere
surface temperature of -260 degrees Fahrenheit
gravity on the surface
20
The sun releases streams of charged particles. Earth's ozone layer protects us from the harmful effects of solar wind.
True
False
21
What is converted into chemical energy (food) by plants through photosynthesis?
clouds
soil
sunlight
oxygen
22
What is a negative side effect of microgravity on the human body?
increases life span
decreases muscle and bone mass
increases bone length
whitens teeth
23
Earth's atmosphere contains water vapor and Carbon Dioxide. These greenhouse gases are important because they -
trap thermal energy in the atmosphere warming the planet.
are things animals need to breathe.
create Earth's gravitational field.
protect against magnetic particles from space.
24
