Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Sound energy is spread by rapid pressure changes. Sound's intensity decreases as it moves through
seawater due to scattering, spreading and absorption. Information can be found in the section Sound
Travels Much Farther Than Light through the Ocean.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Vertical movement is quite limited in polar and tropical waters. The layers in the polar regions are
mostly due to changes in salinity as there is generally no thermocline. Information can be found in the
section The Ocean Is Stratified by Density.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
