A working theory becomes a paradigm

A working theory becomes a paradigm when it stands the test of time and is supported by many experiments.

Which quality makes Earth particularly well-suited to support life

It contains the right amount of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. Its distance from the sun helps maintain a narrow temperature range. It has a strong magnetic field.

What fact do scientists believe provides evidence for the Big Bang Theory

All distant galaxies are moving away from us.

An air mass that originates over land in Central America is most likely

warm and dry

An air mass that originates over land in Canada is most likely

cold and dry

Which best describes the way sunlight creates global ocean currents

Sunlight warms the equatorial waters more than polar waters. The tropics receive the most sun because of the tilt of the earth's axis. The uneven heating leads to convection.

Clouds form when water vapor in the atmosphere cools to

Its Dew Point
