Question 1

When a star like the Sun exhausts the hydrogen in its core, what is the next stage in its life cycle?

It becomes a red giant as core contraction heats surrounding hydrogen layers It immediately collapses into a white dwarf It explodes as a supernova It becomes a black hole

Correct Answer:

It becomes a red giant as core contraction heats surrounding hydrogen layers

Question 2

In the Sun's core, energy is released primarily through which process?

Hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium, converting some mass into energy Heavy uranium nuclei split into lighter nuclei Electrons transition between energy levels Gravitational potential energy is converted directly into light

Correct Answer:

Hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium, converting some mass into energy

Question 3

Which observation provides the strongest evidence that the universe is expanding from an initial hot, dense state?

Distant galaxies show light redshifted in proportion to their distance, and a nearly uniform cosmic microwave background fills space All galaxies have the same shape Stars in the Milky Way all move at the same speed The Sun emits a continuous blackbody spectrum

Correct Answer:

Distant galaxies show light redshifted in proportion to their distance, and a nearly uniform cosmic microwave background fills space

Question 4

Which sequence lists Earth's internal layers correctly from outermost to innermost?

Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core Crust, outer core, mantle, inner core Mantle, crust, inner core, outer core Outer core, crust, mantle, inner core

Correct Answer:

Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

Question 5

Thermal convection in Earth's mantle is driven primarily by which process?

Hot, less-dense rock rises while cooler, denser rock sinks, transferring heat from the core toward the surface Radioactive decay heats the crust directly Conduction through solid iron moves heat outward Solar radiation heats the mantle from above

Correct Answer:

Hot, less-dense rock rises while cooler, denser rock sinks, transferring heat from the core toward the surface
