What weather phenomenon can raise sea level as much as 25 feet when low pressure pulls water upward?
[ "earthquake surge", "storm surge", "storm rise", "cloud formation" ]
B
Some of the damage done by storms is from storm surge . Low pressure in a storm pulls water upward. Water piles up at a shoreline as storm winds push waves into the coast. Storm surge may raise sea level as much as 7.5 m (25 ft). This can be devastating in a shallow land area when winds, waves, and rain are intense.

What is the common term for the chemical formula h 2 0?
[ "hydrogen", "oxygen", "water", "air" ]
C
Water is an amazing molecule. It has a very simple chemical formula, H 2 O. It is made of just two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. Water is remarkable in terms of all the things it can do. Lots of things dissolve easily in water. Some types of rock can even completely dissolve in water! Other minerals change ...

How are electrons shared in covalent bonds?
[ "equally", "unequally", "orderly", "randomly" ]
A
In other covalent bonds, electrons are shared equally. These bonds are called nonpolar covalent bonds. Neither atom attracts the shared electrons more strongly. As a result, the atoms remain neutral in charge. The oxygen (O 2 ) molecule in the Figure below has two nonpolar bonds. The two oxygen nuclei have an equal for...
