Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Heavy elements like iron and nickel pulled inward towards the core while lighter materials like oxygen
and silicon rose toward the surface. The Earth now has distinct interior layers separated by their
density. Information can be found in the section Earth, Ocean, and Atmosphere Accumulated in Layers
Sorted by Density.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The Milky Way galaxy is made up of stars, gas, dust, and debris. As with any galaxy, it is held in place
by gravity. The Milky Way galaxy is named after the Greek galaktos, which means milk.
Information can be found in the section Stars and Seas

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
