SDC Trivia Game #651 - 07/03/2025

Question 1: In what process do plants convert sunlight into chemical energy?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar. This process is vital for life on Earth as it provides the oxygen we breathe and the food we eat.


Question 2: Who is considered the "father of modern geology"?

James Hutton, a Scottish geologist, is often regarded as the “father of modern geology” for his contributions to the understanding of geological formations and processes. His theories of the Earth's natural processes challenged the traditional view of the Earth's age as biblically young.


Question 3: Who is known as the "Father of the Green Revolution"?

Norman Borlaug, an American agronomist, is known as the "Father of the Green Revolution". His work with high-yielding and disease-resistant wheat varieties led to significant increases in agricultural production, particularly in developing countries, and he is credited with saving millions of lives from starvation.



Question 4: Which element is the most abundant in the Earth's crust?

Oxygen makes up about 46.6% of the Earth's crust. Combined with other elements, it forms various minerals known as silicates and oxides.


Question 5: What is the name for a severe tropical cyclone in the western North Pacific?

A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean between 180° and 100°E. This region is referred to as the Northwestern Pacific Basin, and it is the most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth, accounting for almost one-third of the world's annual tropical cyclones.


Question 6: What name is given to a person who witnesses something and testifies in court?

The term "witness" refers to someone who gives evidence to the court about what they have seen, heard, or otherwise experienced. Witnesses can be crucial in both criminal and civil trials, providing firsthand accounts that may confirm or dispute the matters at issue in the case.


Question 7: In Greek mythology, who flew too close to the sun with wings made of wax and feathers, causing the wax to melt?

In Greek mythology, Icarus and his father Daedalus attempted to escape from Crete using wings constructed from feathers and wax. Icarus ignored his father's warnings and flew too close to the sun, melting the wax. He fell into the sea and drowned, giving rise to the term "Icarus complex" for one who overestimates their ability.



Question 8: In biology, what is the powerhouse of the cell?

The Mitochondria is often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell because it's responsible for converting chemical energy from food into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a form of energy that cells can use.


Question 9: If you were to get laryngitis, which part of your body would be affected?

Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx, or voice box, in your throat. It often results in a hoarse voice or temporary loss of voice.


Question 10: Which rock is formed by the solidification of lava above ground?

Basalt is a common extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of basaltic lava exposed at or very near the surface of a planet or moon. It is often found in volcanic regions and is one of the rocks that make up the oceanic crust.
