25. Geology – 20 points
______ is a spring characterized by intermittent
discharge of water ejected turbulently and
accompanied by steam. The word comes from the
name of an erupting spring at Haukadalur, Iceland;
that name, in turn, comes from an Icelandic verb that
means "to gush". Almost half of these springs are in
the Yellowstone National Park.
It is caused when surface water works its way down
to certain depths where it contacts hot rocks and the
resultant boiling of the pressurized water results in
this phenomenon.

26. Everyday science – 5 points
What is being described here?
When X is consumed, it enters the bloodstream and causes the
pituitary gland in the brain to block the creation of vasopressin.
Without this chemical, the kidneys send water directly to the
bladder instead of reabsorbing it into the body. This is why
frequent trips to the bathroom are required after
consuming X.
The morning after, the body sends a desperate message to
replenish its water supply. The body's organs try to make up for
their own water loss by stealing water from the brain, causing
the brain to decrease in size and pull on the membranes that
connect the brain to the skull, resulting in pain.

27. Everyday science – 10 points
Inside the onion cells there are some chemical
compounds which contain the element X.

lachrymatory factory (LF). The LF gas diffuses
through the air and eventually reaches the eye
creating a stinging sensation and causing the tear
glands to produce tears.

__________ is an electric charge built
up on persons or objects through
friction. It is most familiar as an
occasional annoyance in seasons of low
humidity, but can be destructive and
harmful in some situations.
It is generated by rubbing two
nonmagnetic objects together. The
friction between the two objects
generates attraction because the
substance with an excess of electrons
transfers them to the positively-
charged substance. Usually, substances
that don't conduct current electricity
(insulators) are good at holding a
charge. These substances may include
rubber, plastic, glass or pitch. FITB
