Question 1-10
As viewed from space, Earth’s distinguishing characteristics are its blue waters and white
clouds. Enveloped by an ocean of air consisting of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, the planet is
the only one in our solar system known to harbor life. Circling the Sun at an average distance of
149 million kilometers (93 million miles), Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth
largest planet in the solar system.
Our planet’s rapid spin and molten nickel-iron core give rise to an extensive magnetic
field which, coupled the atmosphere, shields us from nearly all of the harmful radiation coming
from the Sun and other stars. Earth’s atmosphere protects us from meteors as well, most of which
burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere before they can strike the surface. The planet active geological
processes have left no evidence of the ancient pelting it almost certainly received soon after it
formed about 4.6 billion years ago.
The Earth has a single natural satellite – the moon.

Question 11-20
Since life began eons ago, thousands of creatures have come and gone. Some, such as the
dinosaurs, became extinct due to naturally changing ecologic conditions. More recent threats to
life forms are humans and their activities. Man has drained marshes, burned prairies, damned and
diverted rivers. Some of the more recent casualties of man's expansion have been the dodo, great
auk, passenger pigeon, Irish elk, and Steller's sea cow.
Sadly, we can no longer attribute the increasing decline in our wild animals and plant
species to "natural" processes. Many species are dying out because of exploitation, habitat
alteration or destruction, pollution, or the introduction of new species of plants and animals to an
