QUIZ
question 1/8
Which marine environment is referred to as the "rainforest of the sea" due to its extensive support for a diverse range of marine life?
Kelp forest
Open Ocean
Coral reefs
next
CORRECT
QUIZ
Explanation:Covering just under one percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs serve as a habitat for around 25 percent of the known marine species. The richness of species thriving within coral reefs exceeds that of nearly any other global location. Researchers estimate that coral reef ecosystems have connections to over one million species of plants and animals.
QUIZ
question 2/8
What percentage of the human body is composed of water?
20 %
90 %
60 %
next
CORRECT
QUIZ
Explanation:Infants have the highest water content, with approximately 78% at birth. This percentage decreases to around 65% by the age of one. Adult bodies consist of about 60% of water.
QUIZ
question 3/8
What triggers the sensation of thirst in the human body during dehydration?
Increased heart rate
Increased blood concentration
Elevated body temperature
Decreased blood pressure
next
CORRECT
QUIZ
Explanation:When dehydrated, insufficient water is brought to blood and other tissues. The water expelled from the body through the exhaled air, sweat, or urine is ultimately extracted from blood plasma. As the blood concentration increases, it activates the thirst response. Osmoreceptors, located in the hypothalamus's thirst center, act as sensory receptors, monitoring the blood's solute concentration.
QUIZ
question 4/8
How does water create buoyancy?
by exerting an upward force on objects
by the color of water
by its temperature
next
CORRECT
QUIZ
Explanation:Archimedes' principle states that an object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. This principle is crucial for understanding buoyancy. When an object's weight is less than the buoyant force, it floats; if it's greater, it sinks. In essence, buoyancy is determined by the object's ability to displace enough fluid to counteract its own weight, allowing it to either float or sink in the fluid.
QUIZ
question 5/8
Approximately what percentage of the world's animals is found in water?
45 %
95 %
78 %
next
CORRECT
QUIZ
Explanation:Water hosts 78% of the total biomass of fauna, predominantly attributed to the fact that fish alone constitute one-third of the entire animal biomass.
QUESTION 6/8
Which property of water contributes to potential mood and well-being benefits when water droplets scatter?
The release of negative ions to the air
Optical transparency
Thermal conductivity
QUIZ
next
CORRECT
QUIZ
Explanation: When water droplets break apart, they create negative ions, and these negative ions can potentially have positive effects on mood and overall well-being. This phenomenon is often experienced in environments near waterfalls, oceans, or after rainfall.
QUESTION 7/8
What is a key finding regarding global water stress?(Global Water Stress is a measure of the pressure on the world's water resources, taking into account factors such as population growth, industrialization, agriculture, and climate change)
Global water stress has decreased by 1.2% from 2015 to 2020.
Despite a safe global average, water stress has increased, particularly in Southern Asia and Central Asia.
Western Asia and Northern Africa have experienced a significant decrease in water stress.
QUIZ
next
CORRECT
QUIZ
Explanation:In 2020, water stress levels ranged from high in Southern Asia and Central Asia to critical in Northern Africa. The situation in Western Asia and Northern Africa is particularly concerning since it registered an 18% increase in water stress levels from 2015 to 2020.
QUESTION 7/7
Why can water dissolve a wide range of substances?
Because of high surface tension
Because of the bonds between water atom
Because of low heat capacity
QUIZ
next
CORRECT
QUIZ
Explanation:Water's ability to dissolve a variety of substances is primarily attributed to its polar covalent bonds. The oxygen atom in water is more electronegative, leading to a partial negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms carry partial positive charges. This polarity allows water to form hydrogen bonds with other polar or charged molecules, making it an effective solvent in various chemical and biological processes.

The hydrosphere is a static and unchanging component of the Earth system, with water levels remaining constant over time.
The hydrosphere encompasses all the water on Earth, including oceans, rivers, lakes, groundwater, and even water vapor in the atmosphere.
The hydrosphere only consists of saltwater, and freshwater ecosystems are not considered part of it.
RIGHT!

All of the freshwater on Earth is readily accessible for human use, with no significant portion being locked in polar ice caps and glaciers.
Approximately 97.5% of Earth's water is saline, while only about 2.5% is freshwater.
The majority of Earth's freshwater, about 2/3 of the 2.5%, is available in lakes, rivers, and groundwater for various purposes, making it easily accessible for human activities like agriculture, industry, and personal use.
