Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Humans have created many names to describe a portion of the ocean, but all these bodies interact with
each other. Thus, the world ocean is better described as a single entity which has different
characteristics depending on locale. Information can be found in the section Earth is an Ocean World.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
A spinning nebula begins to shrink over time. As the gases of the sphere flatten and condense at the
center, it becomes a protostar. Hydrogen atoms eventually begin to fuse into helium which releases a
great amount of energy. The rapid release of energy marks the transition to a star. Information can be
found in the section Stars and Seas
