1.Iron ore consists mainly of iron atoms and oxygen atoms joined to each other

to form several different possible forms of iron oxide. Which branch of physical
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
science MOST directly deals with developing ways to remove the oxygen from
v v v v v v v v v v v v
iron oxide, thus leaving iron metal?: Chemistry

4.Which field of physical science MOST directly explains how the motion of the

continents over 100 million years led to mountains and volcanoes in some

places above land and deep ocean trenches in other places beneath the ocean

5.Satellites orbiting Earth scan the light reflected from below, and the data can

then be analyzed to get information about the objects that reflected the light.

This technology is called "remote sensing." For example, they can even

distinguish between Astroturf in a football field and real grass on the ground
