WGU C165 Integrated Physical Science Exam Complete Questions with Correct Detailed Answers || 100% Guaranteed Pass!! &lt;Newest Version&gt; 1.Prevailing Winds: - ANSWER Winds that blow predominantly from a particular general direction into a given region. 2.Trade Winds: - ANSWER Winds blowing steadily towards the equator from the northern and southern hemispheres; curved winds that flow from the east to the west. 3.Hydrosphere: - ANSWER The reservoirs of water on Earth-atmosphere, surface water, ground water, glaciers, and polar ice caps. 5.(Hydrologic) Water Cycle: - ANSWER Continuous water cycle within the hydrosphere driven by solar radiation and gravity. 6.Transpiration: - ANSWER A specialized type of evaporation in which plants take up ground water and release it into the air as water vapor. 7.Precipitation: - ANSWER When water condenses and fall to the Earth as rain, snow, or hail; occurs when water droplets or ice crystals in clouds grow large enough to be pulled down to the ground by gravity. 8.Infiltration: - ANSWER A process where water soaks into the ground from precipitation. 9.Runoff: - ANSWER Precipitation that falls onto the ground, but does not soak into the ground; enters the surface water instead. 10.Air Mass: - ANSWER A large volume of warm or cold air that has approximately uniform temperature, humidity, and pressure over hundreds or thousands of miles horizontally and up to about 16 km vertically. 11.Carbon Cycle: - ANSWER The cycle or movement of carbon through reservoirs-oceans, land, and atmosphere; carbon in the ocean and atmosphere exists primarily carbon dioxide, while carbon in the soil and in living organisms exists primarily as organic carbon. hesis - ANSWER A testable statement about how something in nature works 13. law - ANSWER A concise statement that is supported by scientific evidence and repeated experiments, describes a widespread pattern in nature (what) 14. theory - ANSWER A statement that explains a wide range of observations, supported by a large body of scientific evidence (how/why) 15. Volume - ANSWER Term for the amount of space an object occupies 16. Liquid displacement - ANSWER Method of determining the volume of an object by measuring the amount of liquid it displaces 17. inverse relationship - ANSWER A relationship between two variables where increasing one decreases the other, and vice versa 18.Velocity - ANSWER A combination of speed and direction 19. Acceleration - ANSWER Term for any change in an object's speed and/or direction 20. Force - ANSWER Term for a push or a pull with direction and magnitude. You may not feel it. 21. Net force - ANSWER The sum of all forces acting on an object ced forces - ANSWER Term for forces that combine to produce a net force of 0 23. Newton's first law - ANSWER An object in motion remains in motion unless acted on by a net force 24. inertia - ANSWER The tenancy to keep the same motion/velocity or remain at rest. Newton's first law 25. Newton's second law - ANSWER Net force = mass x acceleration (F = ma) 26. Newton's third law - ANSWER When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of the same magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object ("For every action, an equal and opposite reaction") 27. friction - ANSWER The force that opposes the motion of an object on which it acts 28.Kinetic friction - ANSWER Friction between two objects moving against each other 29. Static friction - ANSWER Friction between two objects touching but not moving against each other 30. Fluid resistance - ANSWER Friction when an object moves through a gas or liquid 31.Unequal Forces: - ANSWER Opposite forces acting on an object and unequal in magnitude. 32.Weather: - ANSWER Depends on the temperature and humidity of an air mass over a region. 33.Fog: - ANSWER A cloud (with small water droplets) that hovers close to the ground; forms when warm, moist air arrives in an area that had experience cold weather; warm air flows over the cold ground, it cools and the water vapor condenses; reduces visibility to to less than 1 km (0.62 mi.). 34.Hail: - ANSWER A type of precipitation consisting of frozen pellets that are more than 5 mm (0.2 in.) in diameter; formed when growing droplets of water travel through different conditions of temperature and humidity. 35.Snow: - ANSWER A type of precipitation consisting of crystals of water called snowflakes; form when water vapor crystallizes onto a particle of dust. 36.Blizzard: - ANSWER A severe snowstorm characterized by very strong winds, and a large amount of snowfall; forms when a warm air mass moves over a cold air mass.
