C165 Integrated Physical Sciences - Set 2 - Part 3

Correct Answer: Kelvin

The SI unit for temperature is the kelvin (K), which is based on absolute zero.

Correct Answer: They are inversely proportional

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional, meaning as one increases, the other decreases.

Correct Answer: Kinetic energy

A moving car has kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.

Correct Answer: Older layers are below younger layers

The principle of superposition states that in undisturbed rock layers, older layers are found below younger layers.

Correct Answer: Ionic bond

Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are transferred from one atom (usually a metal) to another (usually a non-metal).

Correct Answer: The gravitational pull of the moon

Ocean tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's oceans.

Correct Answer: Deposition

Deposition is the process in which sediments are laid down or deposited in new locations after being transported.

Correct Answer: Hertz

Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), which represents the number of cycles or waves passing a point per second.

Correct Answer: Physical weathering

Physical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition.

Correct Answer: Gamma rays

Gamma rays have the highest energy and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
