Which property of water causes it to expand when it freezes making ice less dense than liquid water?

  • A Hydrogen bonding creating a crystalline structure
  • B High specific heat capacity
  • C High surface tension
  • D High viscosity
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Hydrogen bonding creating a crystalline structure
Explanation: Water expands when it freezes because hydrogen bonds arrange water molecules into a hexagonal crystalline lattice that takes up more space than the same number of liquid water molecules.

Which process in bread making causes dough to rise releasing CO2?

  • A Oxidation of flour
  • B Protein denaturation
  • C Fermentation by yeast
  • D Sublimation of water
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Fermentation by yeast
Explanation: Yeast in bread dough ferments sugars and releases carbon dioxide gas which gets trapped in the dough forming bubbles causing it to rise and giving bread its light airy texture.

Which famous experiment proved that the Earth orbits the Sun rather than the Sun orbiting the Earth?

  • A Galileo's telescope observations
  • B Newton's apple experiment
  • C Foucault pendulum demonstration
  • D Copernicus's naked eye observations
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Galileo's telescope observations
Explanation: Galileo's telescope observations in 1610 of Jupiter's moons and Venus's phases provided key evidence supporting the heliocentric model that Earth orbits the Sun.

Which natural phenomenon occurs when the Earth's crust suddenly releases energy causing ground shaking?

  • A Earthquake
  • B Volcanic eruption
  • C Tsunami
  • D Cyclone
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Earthquake
Explanation: An earthquake occurs when energy stored in the Earth's crust is suddenly released along fault lines causing seismic waves that make the ground shake and can cause widespread damage.

Which phenomenon explains why the handles of pots and pans are made from plastic or wood rather than metal?

  • A Metal is too heavy
  • B Plastic handles are magnetic
  • C Plastic and wood are poor heat conductors preventing burns
  • D Wood handles look better
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Plastic and wood are poor heat conductors preventing burns
Explanation: Plastic and wood are poor conductors of heat meaning little heat transfers from the hot pot or pan to the handle preventing burns when cooking at high temperatures.
