There are no hot cues, but multiple cuepoints and saved loops can be recalled from the player, one at a time.", "The 350 and 850 only feature ‘regular’ rather than ‘advanced’ HID, but in practice that really only means a lack of waveform display sent to the players from the software. You can use any of the range to control pretty much anything via midi, instead of HID, but we wouldn’t recommend it.", "Why no Denon/Numark/Reloop/etc? There’s no question, that in many parts of the world, the various models of Pioneer CDJs are very much the ‘standard’ when it comes to club and bar installations.

Many DJs prefer the plug-and-play simplicity of the CDJ ecosystem containing no less than 4 models. For those looking to buy new decks or upgrade their existing kit this begs the question: Which CDJ is the right for you?", "To be completely honest, if your sole intention is to use HID mode to control your software, then buying any of the CDJs is a rather large investment for what is, basically, a pair of big midi controllers, and you might want to think seriously about whether it’s worth it.", "The 2000 Nexus comes close, but with 2 of them running the price of a decent used car, they really ought to. If you can live without hot cues, then the 900 Nexus is a fine investment, offering an experience very close to the 2000 Nexus with a pretty substantial cost saving.", "The playback BPM is displayed to one decimal point, just like the top end players, which means you can set the tempo very precisely by eye, especially if using the +/-6% pitch range, which offers a resolution of 0.02%. It’s lacking any wide pitch range, like the +/-100% found on other models, but for day-to-day mixing the maximum 16% should do the trick.", "The screen, whilst not approaching the quality of the 2000/900 Nexus, has one extra line of text compared to the 350, and offers a basic, but functional, waveform display. One step back from the 350 is the BPM display, with no decimal points.", "Notes on HID. For this article we’ve looked primarily at using the CDJs with Rekordbox analysed files via USB or SD cards. Obviously all the models still work fine with CDs, too, although the majority of the features you’re paying for go unused.", "At this level, you’re still missing the link function, and the display just doesn’t compare to the more expensive models, but as you can score a pair of 850s for not much more than a single 2000 Nexus, they do sit in a fairly sweet spot in the range. A Pioneer CDJ-850 will run about $699 (Amazon)", "The 350s will make for a good starter setup, offering enough functions to get anyone mixing on a basic level, and allowing beginners to join the Rekordbox ecosystem at a (relatively) bargain price. Of the current range, the one that sticks out most in 2014 is the CDJ-850.", "For the record, it works very well, as long as your grids are set correctly in Rekordbox, and integrates seamlessly with the on-deck quantizing on the 900 Nexus. Looping is pretty intuitive, with both manual and auto looping covered. It’s not quite as accessible as on the 2000 Nexus but plenty usable.", "A DJ coming to the 350s from the software world might find that a little disconcerting. There’s no link – so you’ll need to use two USB sticks with the players, and there won’t be any kind of shared history, which is always a blessing during long sets. The big feature which is lacking is access to cue points.", "The 900 Nexus is a different proposition altogether. Like its forebear, it’s the cheapest model to feature the link feature, meaning you can chain up to four mixed & matched units (plus 2 laptops, and a DJM-900 Nexus mixer) together, and have them all share music, and beatgrid information.", "For this article we’re keeping it simple, and sticking to Pioneer.

The details of the above method vary between baristas, and are influenced by the machine and the desired outcome. It is common to briefly switch on the steam wand before using it, in order to flush any condensed water from the plumbing and preheat the steam wand itself.", "The denaturation of milk fat occurs around 40 °C (104 °F), so milk at higher temperatures is not significantly affected by this problem. At higher temperatures, the protein β -lactoglobulin enables the foam to maintain its structure and is the prime factor in the formation of foam.", "In reality, the suspension is more complex because milk consists of two different colloids itself - an emulsion of fat and a sol of protein.

The Taurus has 38.1 inches, which is tolerable but the worst (in a tie) in this lineup.", "It is a poised car and the only hybrid in this mix (the hybrid is the base model for the 2012 Lacrosse), which gives it a best-in-class fuel economy of 25 city/36 highway, and at a better horsepower rating than the VW Passat (182 hp versus 170 hp).", "For drivers in snow country, this makes the Taurus a great deal compared with anything else in this contest. We wish it offered better fuel economy than 18 city/28 highway, but at 4015 pounds this is one heavy car—nearly 700 pounds heavier than the Passat. 6 of 7.

If these updates come to fruition, then the Azera—already a nice car—probably becomes a slam dunk to win this segment.", "This car has the best headroom by far and the most front legroom in this group—there's two more inches of legroom than in a Chevy Suburban!

It's not exactly a Porsche 911, but that's not what you'd want from a long-mileage cruiser anyway. The problem with the LaCrosse is that, while it's large enough to be compared with the big sedans, it simply can't match up.", "The Avalon has the best rear shoulder room of the lot and the best rear legroom, as well. The big Toyota gets 20 mpg in the city; of the other V6s, only the Hyundai Azera can match that mileage. 2 of 7.

Toyota Avalon.", "It's that the Charger's exterior and history promise more. Everyone will want to know if your mean-looking car has the mustard to back it up, and the V6 is always going to feel like a cop-out. Layer on the same kinds of demerits we've applied to the 300 and the Charger is a tough sell.", "7 of 7. VW Passat. $22,690; 117.9 cubic feet; $192.45 per cubic foot. Not only is the Tennessee-made Passat the most car for the buck, but it's also got a ton going for it. You get a big, quiet cockpit, for one thing.", "The Buick has the least amount of front headroom and the worst scores for rear hip, shoulder, and headroom. It also has the smallest trunk. Don't get us wrong—the Buick is a nice car that comes with an extra year and 50,000 miles to its warranty (everything else on this list is at 3 years/36,000 miles).", "The 300 is a solid driving machine that obliterates highway miles as easily as any car in the lot, but you don't get the comfort of the Avalon, the German attitude of the Passat, or the clean trim and modern design of the Taurus. Plus, the standard 300 brings a five-speed transmission to a battle of six-speeds.", "The lighting that's reminiscent of a microwave oven and the cheap-feeling controls and dials remind us of the fine work Chrysler has already done with some of its Jeep and Ram products and make us wish the engineers would turn their attention to the 300 next. 4 of 7. Dodge Charger.", "Then again, the price isn't bad for the amount of space you get. And like the 300, the Dodge gobbles highway miles like they aren't even there. 5 of 7.

Tire balance, also called tire unbalance or tire imbalance, describes the distribution of mass within an automobile tire or the entire wheel (including the rim) on which it is mounted. When the wheel rotates, asymmetries in its mass distribution may cause it to apply periodic forces and torques to the axle, which can cause ride disturbances, usually as vertical and lateral vibrations, and this may also cause the steering wheel to oscillate.", "The frequency and magnitude of this ride disturbance usually increases with speed, and vehicle suspensions may become excited when the rotating frequency of the wheel equals the resonant frequency of the suspension. Tire balance is measured in factories and repair shops by two methods: with static balancers and with dynamic balancers.", "Tires with large unbalances are downgraded or rejected. When tires are fitted to wheels at the point of sale, they are measured again on a balancing machine, and correction weights are applied to counteract their combined unbalance.

Purebred Status.", "Few breeds have as much controversy as to their origins as does the Brahma chicken. While many varied claims were originally accepted as fact by early authors, the truth of the matter is that this breed was developed in America from very large fowls imported from China via the port of Shanghai.", "During the second half of the 1800s, Lincolns were exported in large numbers to Ireland, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and several other South American countries. Lincoln sheep arrived in the United States about 1800, but they were not widely distributed until the late 1800s.", "Imported Dutch cattle were crossed with native stocks and selected for performance in both meat and milk production. The breed became known early in the 1800s, especially through a traveling promotional exhibit of the famous “Durham Ox.”.", "In the early 1900s there were two Mulefoot breed associations and over 200 herds registering purebred stock. Mulefoot hogs are compact in appearance and weigh 400–600 pounds. They are solid black with white points occurring rarely. The ears are pricked forward.", "They are always willing to work, hunting and scratching, giving no prejudice to flower beds or dunghill; if there is scratching to be done, Leghorns are the chickens for the job. On range they are splendid foragers and small eaters. The breed is prolific, highly fertile, and hardy.", "The most important were three imported breeds - the Berkshire, the Big China, and the Irish Grazier - which were widely used as improvers of common stocks. Pigs were an essential part of every farm, being used for home production of lard and pork. They could also be driven to market to generate ready income.", "In 1903 William Cook himself brought over a large importation and showed them in America. Farmers of the mid-western states favored the Buff Orpington chicken for its generally superior table-qualities, and its unique color – different than most general-purpose breeds.", "The breed is also noted for being calm, gentle, and personable. The Chantecler can still be found in both of its original colors, White and Partridge; both having yellow flesh and legs.", "Meat types of pig (also known as Bacon types) were developed to have more lean meat with moderate marbling of fat.

The eggs of the Brahma are large and uniformly medium brown in color. The hens tend to go broody in early summer and will sit devotedly on their nests.", "As the larger settled farms of the Midwest began to produce excess corn, the availability and low cost of this feed attracted pig production and processing to the region. By the mid-1800s, the states that produced the most corn also produced the most pigs, and production declined in the East and New England.", "This distinctive shape helped to prevent the breed from looking similar to and being confused with White Wyandottes or White Plymouth Rock chickens.

Many types of speckling are also seen. Unlike the purposeful importations of many breeds, the path of the Ankole‑Watusi to the United States was indirect if not accidental.", "Southdown sheep were known as hardy and quick growing, and the quality of their meat was celebrated. The breed was consistent in qualities, and it was used in the development of several other breeds, including the Shropshire, Hampshire, and Oxford; in this way its role was similar to that of the Leicester among the longwool breeds.", "Highland cattle have always had a great reputation for being rugged producers of high-quality beef and they have now found a secure niche as productive partners in effective range management throughout the globe. The breed has benefited greatly from effective promotion and registration by the breed associations.", "The physical differences between the substantial African and the lithe Chinese goose demonstrate the effect of selective breeding.

The Lincoln has had a globally significant genetic impact on sheep breeding, but today, like most other longwool breeds, the Lincoln is globally rare and facing an uncertain future.", "Though size is the breed’s most distinguishing characteristic, the Dexter is a useful and productive, multi‑purpose animal. The Dexter originated in southern Ireland during the early 1800s. It was developed from the Kerry, an Irish dairy breed, through selection for smaller size and improved beef qualities.", "Since most of these are extinct, it is now impossible to weave together all the threads of the Guinea Hog story into a single neat piece. The Guinea Hog became rare as the habitat of the homestead hog disappeared, and it survived only in the most isolated parts of the Southeast.", "These American breeds have important qualities, such as fertility and longevity, which are lacking in the Brahman, Zebu, and other heat tolerant cattle commonly used. The Pineywoods, with almost 500 years of adaptation to the American Southeast, has history on its side as well.", "Their small size, gentle temperament, and efficiency make them suitable for many smaller properties. Guinea hogs have uniquely desirable flavor characteristics. The fat of the Guinea Hog is abundant and firm, and has found interest with chefs and butchers for making charcuterie (old world style cured meats).", "The curled feathers prevent flight making them easier to confine. Sebastopols produce 25-35 eggs annually. They have a quiet and pleasant disposition. Whenever a domestic animal is selected for an unusual characteristic, great care must be taken to insure that vigor and fertility of breeding stock is not overlooked.", "The number of pig farms has declined precipitously; some farmers have become contract growers for the corporations and others have gone out of business. Fewer and fewer sale barns and processing facilities are open to independent pig farmers. This economic centralization has led to genetic narrowing as well.", "Australorp chicken. Black Orpington chickens from the poultry yards of William Cook and Joseph Partington were imported into Australia during the period between 1890 and about 1900. In England during this same period, Black Orpingtons were being refined for their meat qualities.", "In 1886 he introduced his creation to the public – it was a success and within 10 years Orpington chickens were well established in England and began to be exported to other countries. William Cook enjoyed a rare commodity – success – and his fortunes grew.", "But the cross did produce a unique fowl. About Devonshire and Cornwall, England, the “Indian Game” found supporters and continued to be bred. In appearance, Indian Games are very close feathered, with little or no down apparent. The feathers are short and often quite narrow.", "They have also been used in dairying. Dorset sheep produce between five and nine pounds of medium grade wool per year. In the Horn variety, both ewes and rams carry horns. Ewes’ horns are light, curving forward neatly; rams’ horns are heavy and spiral out as well as curving forward.", "The hogs were also kept in the yard where they would eat snakes and thus create a safe zone around the house. These Guineas were hardy and efficient, gaining well on the roughest of forage and producing the hams, bacon, and lard essential for subsistence farming. Several mysteries confuse the breed’s history.", "Of greatest conservation interest are the \"old-type\" Rhode Island Reds which are larger, darker, and more broody. These birds are becoming rare as the breed is “improved” to meet industry needs. The hens of this breed weigh over 6 pounds and the roosters over 8 pounds.", "Mature animals weigh 600 to 800 pounds, but may weigh as much as 1,200 pounds.

Most breeders now prefer butcher weights around 300 to 325 pounds with hanging weights from 220 to 245 pounds.", "Wherever these breeds could tolerate the environmental conditions, they replaced the native Pineywoods. Improved cattle were also crossed with Pineywoods cows to produce calves which had the survival qualities of the dam and the production qualities of the sire.", "Carpet wool breeds are generally adapted to extreme environments, and the characteristics of the wool are part of that adaptation. In contrast to the wool sheep just described, \"hair sheep\" breeds are adapted to hot, humid climates. They lack wool altogether and are covered instead by short hair that is shed annually.", "Tails held in line with the back, or lower, are often an indication of physical weakness and low fertility in this breed. Avoid birds with narrow heads, slender necks, shallow bodies, drooping tails, pronounced keels and baggy paunches that drag or touch the ground when the bird is standing.", "Due to the muscular nature of the breed, young birds could be harvested early to produce a small, tender, flavorful, and meaty one-pound bird – the now well-know “Cornish Game Hens.”. The second way in which Cornish could be marketed to advantage changed the meat poultry industry indelibly.", "This has set a precedent for future use. The Livestock Conservancy’s goal is to educate the consumers. We want them to know the definition of Heritage and to boldly ask questions to assure that the product carrying the “Heritage” label meets the definition of the term.", "Lincolns gained attention during the mid-1800s, in part due to the inclusion of classes for this breed at the Royal Show. The impressive appearance of these large, dignified sheep caused a stir, especially since wool had high market value at this time.", "Rhode Island Red - Non Industrial Chicken. The Rhode Island Red is not only America's best known breed, but is perhaps the world's best known fowl. It is the most successful dual purpose bird, and remains an excellent farm chicken.", "Lincoln wool is long and lustrous.

Though hardy, Lincolns require good nutrition to perform well.", "It seems to have arrived in North America on ships that traveled around the world so its exact origin is ambiguous. It is known, however, that the African is a relative of the Chinese goose, both having descended from the wild swan goose native to Asia.", "Slow growth rate: the Heritage Turkey must have a slow to moderate rate of growth. Today’s heritage turkeys reach a marketable weight in about 28 weeks, giving the birds time to develop a strong skeletal structure and healthy organs prior to building muscle mass.", "The breed was developed from the wild Graylag goose which is native to Europe, and was recognized by The American Poultry Association in 1938. The Sebastopol is readily identified by its feathers. Long, soft-quilled, curling feathers drape elegantly from its wings, body and tail.", "The Heritage Shorthorn (Native), despite its many fine qualities and history of dairy selection, could not compete with the quantity of milk produced by the Holstein, and the breed lost favor.", "Therefore, to draw attention to these endangered breeds, to support their long-term conservation, to support efforts to recover these breeds to historic levels of productivity, and to re-introduce these culinary and cultural treasures to the marketplace, The Livestock Conservancy is defining Heritage Chicken.", "Ancient White Park.

Despite this genetic breadth, the diversity of sheep breeds in the United States has been neither recognized nor utilized.", "The breed is noted for having nearly no wattles and a small cushion comb – the comb appearing much like a small round button sitting low on the head. The small comb and wattles allow this breed to withstand the cold Canadian winters without worry of frostbite.", "Their breasts are deep, full, and well rounded. Their heads are fairly deep and are inclined to be flat on top rather than round. Though some single combed offspring do occasionally occur, the breed is has been standardized only with a rose shaped comb.", "The body of the Indian Game is muscular and strong in appearance.

Dark red predominates, although dun and black also occur.", "Originally developed in Massachusetts and Rhode Island in the 1880's and 1890's, its ancestors include Malay (hence the deep color), Shanghai, Java, and Brown Leghorn chickens. Its distinctive color and good production qualities helped it to spread rapidly.", "The standard weight for young toms is 25 pounds and for young hens is 16 pounds. Since, however, the Standard Bronze has not been selected for production attributes, including weight gain for years; so many birds may be smaller than the standard.", "There quickly formed two camps of thought – those that believed production was the only measure of worth; and those that believed form and function should be maintained together. Today a majority of Leghorns are of the industrial type and dominate white egg production in America.", "History of Heritage Pigs. Pigs were traditionally raised with little direct management, allowed to forage for their own food, fed by-products from dairies, bakeries, and breweries, and used to glean fields after harvest. Pigs' ability to utilize spoiled food and other waste made them a valuable sanitation service even in urban settings.", "And thus English Leghorns came back across the Atlantic to America to help fuel the transition of farm fowl to commercial poultry industry, about 1910 and onward. During the early part of the 1900s, poultrymen were concerned with beauty as well as production.", "Dexter cattle are solid and compact in appearance.

ISTAR will use a hydrocarbon-based liquid-rocket mode for initial boost, a ramjet mode for speeds above Mach 2.5, and a scramjet mode for speeds above Mach 5 to take it to maximum speeds of at least Mach 7.", "Simple description. A scramjet is a type of engine which is designed to operate at the high speeds normally associated with rocket propulsion. It is different than a rocket because it uses air collected from the atmosphere to burn its fuel, rather than carrying oxidiser in tanks. Normal jet engines and ramjet engines also use air collected from the atmosphere in this way.", "Dual-mode scramjets combine subsonic combustion with supersonic combustion for operation at lower speeds, and rocket -based combined cycle (RBCC) engines supplement a traditional rocket's propulsion with a scramjet, allowing for additional oxidizer to be added to the scramjet flow.", "NASA believes hypersonics could help develop economical, reusable launch vehicles. The Air Force is interested in a wide range of hypersonic systems, from air-launched cruise missiles to orbital spaceplanes, that the service believes could bring about a true \"aerospace force.\".", "Depending on the fuel, the kinetic energy of the air and the potential combustion heat release will be equal at around Mach 8. Thus the design of a scramjet engine is as much about minimising drag as maximising thrust. This high speed makes the control of the flow within the combustion chamber more difficult.", "While American efforts are probably the best funded, the first to demonstrate a scramjet working in an atmospheric test was a shoestring project by an Australian team at the University of Queensland. The university's HyShot project demonstrated scramjet combustion in 2002.", "Unfortunately the higher speed of the air means that the fuel has to mix and burn in a very short time, which is difficult to achieve. To keep the combustion of the fuel going at the same rate, the pressure and temperature in the engine need to be kept constant.", "The most advanced US hypersonics program is the US$250 million NASA Langley Hyper-X X-43A effort, which flew small test vehicles to demonstrate hydrogen-fueled scramjet engines. NASA is worked with contractors Boeing, Microcraft, and the General Applied Science Laboratory ( GASL) on the project.", "Computational fluid dynamics has only recently reached a position to make reasonable computations in solving scramjet operation problems. Boundary layer modeling, turbulent mixing, two-phase flow, flow separation, and real-gas aerothermodynamics continue to be problems on the cutting edge of CFD.", "Using fuel for engine cooling is nothing new, but the cooling system will also act as a chemical reactor, breaking long-chain hydrocarbons down into short-chain hydrocarbons that burn more rapidly.

The fastest air-breathing, manned vehicle, the U.S. Air Force SR-71, achieved slightly more than Mach 3.2. Like a conventional ramjet, a scramjet consists of a constricted tube through which air is compressed, fuel is combusted, and the exhaust is vented at higher speed than the intake air.", "The weight of a scramjet vehicle is significantly reduced over that of a rocket, due to the lack of onboard oxidiser, and increased by the structrual requirements of the engine. Whether this vehicle would be reusable or not is still a subject of debate and research.", "v. t. e. Jet engine where combustion takes place in supersonic airflow.

The vibrations can be the stretching or bending of the chemical bonds between hydrogen and oxygen. \nAnswer 4:", "As a matter of fact, that's what the sun does every day, it converts some of its mass into energy, which we see as light. And so there is a perfectly reasonable way to talk about the \"mass\" of a particle of light. All you do is convert its energy to mass, although conventionally we people try not to do that these days.", "Humans have only been able to isolate aluminum from bauxite ore relatively recently, so it was not around in ancient times to compete with gold. If it had been, it might have actually fared quite well -- aluminum is a very handy metal that is harder and lighter than gold, so it makes better tools and weapons.", "Plate tectonics create many of the geologic features we see on Earth today, such as volcanoes and mountain ranges.

People have 23 pair of chromosomes in almost every cell in their bodies (but not their gametes). The chromosomes come in pairs because you got 1 chromosome #1 from your mom and one chromosome #1 from your dad.", "You might not be able to lift it alone, but if several people help out, each person lifts a part of it. Boats tend to have big flat surfaces on the bottom (the hull of the boat), which helps them float. Although they're heavy, they spread their weight across a large surface in the water.", "Because the strength of a planets gravitational field depends on its density, Newton was able to use his observations of the Earth gravity to calculate that the average density of the Earth was more than twice that of rocks at the surface.", "Since Ti is less than Tf,then that means Pi*Vi is less than Pf*Vf. Now, since we know that as the pressure increases, so too must the volume (in other words, when you blow up a balloon (increase the pressure), the balloon gets bigger (volume increases), we then know that Pi is less than Pf and Vi is less than Vf.", "So rather than every water molecule in the ocean acting in different ways, all of the molecules stick together and act together. As the earth rotates, the force of the rotation pulls the ocean water away from the earth’s surface (you can test this by holding your arms out and spinning as quickly as you can.", "Yes, they use them to control their stability as they fly. \nAnswer 4: Thanks for the great question. Owls, and other birds, have many types of feathers that help them fly. Some of these feathers are called tail feathers because they are toward the back of the bird.", "Great question, the shade of the color is the most important when it comes to controlling its heat absorption. Colors that are darker and closer to black absorb more heat than lighter colors closer to white absorb less. The easiest way for me to explain this is using sunlight.", "When you put an object over a flame, it starts getting hot-- gaining heat that is released from the flame.In a normal balloon filled with air, the rubber of the balloon quickly heats, fraying and coming apart-- so the balloon gets a hole and pops.", "For example, suppose you want to measure the effect of the temperature of a star on the temperature of its planets. The star will have the temperature that it does because of the star's mass and stage of it's life - it has nothing to do with the planets that orbit the star, if there even are any.", "The temperature of a blue star is 40000 Kelvin degrees, the temperature of a red star is 3500 Kelvin. \nAnswer 5: Red stars are cooler. They are red because they emit red light, which is lower in energy than blue light.", "They harness it from sunlight in a process known as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is sort of the reverse of the Krebs cycle: it stores energy by converting inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) into organic carbon (glucose, for example).", "So lets say you have the equation in math: y = x + 2. in this case, y is dependent on x for its value, and depending on what x is, will always be 2 more than that. So in this case, x is the independent variable, because it doesn't depend on y to decide what it is. Hope that helps!", "Autotrophs, on the other hand, make their own food through photosynthesis. Examples of autotrophs are plants, algae, and some bacteria. \nAnswer 3: A Heterotroph is a living organism that obtains its energy from carbohydrates and other organic material.", "The alloys are what you typically find in jewelry, etc. Diamonds are made up of the element carbon. Also, graphite is also made up of carbon. The only difference between the two is the way that the atoms are bonded together.", "In Anaphase II, the sister chromatids move apart toward opposite ends of the cell, and in Telophase II, the cells divide and nuclear envelope/nucleolus reappear. At the end of Meiosis II, there are four cells, each with a haploid set of chromosomes. \nAnswer 3:", "Liquid water undergoes a phase conversion (called boiling) at 373 K ( = 100 deg C) to steam ( water in the vapor, or gaseous state of matter); this is because the water pressure of the steam equals the pressure of the Earth's atmosphere (mainly containing Nitrogen and Oxygen gases) at 100 deg C.", "Next, consider what \"makes\" an odor . Basically, molecules of the matter in the air dissolve into mucus and eventually bind with (physically fit into) smell receptors. All of these are physical changes though; none are related to a change in composition.", "In fact, it's not very hot at all compared to the population of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. One way astronomers measure the temperature of stars is by analyzing the light that comes from them: hotter stars burn at blue-UV wavelengths, while cooler stars burn at yellow-red wavelengths.", "This is a bit like holding a book under your desk while a friend (gently) taps the other end of the desk. If you listen closely to the sound (i.e. with your ear on the top of the desk) the sound changes noticeably if a large book is pressed up against the bottom of the desktop.", "Its only when it rolls down that work is done, and this can be converted to useful energy. When the rock reaches the bottom of the hill, it can't role any more, and to make it do useful work, it has to be rolled uphill again. So its not perpetual. This is the principle of a water wheel, and its not perpetual.", "Since this type of cell can make any other type of cell, and lives so long, I'd say it is the most important. That is my opinion - I hope you get other answers to see if we agree or disagree (which is a part of science!). \nAnswer 3:", "I think you will find out that the salt dissolves quickly in the hot water, more slowly in the room temperature water, and slowest in the cold water. In fact, the salt might never even fully dissolve in the cold water! It out that this trend is true for dissolving pretty much anything into water– salt, sugar, baking soda, etc.", "We thought that oceanic crust was being pushed out at these boundaries. We now think that a more important driving mechanism is subduction where oceanic crust is sinking back into the mantle. The sinking crust pulls the rest of the plate along, and this causes the spreading center to spread faster.", "Because of this, as you make things hotter, they tend into actually get bigger - though some materials get bigger than others. So the simplest way to measure thermal energy, is to take a glass tube and fill it up with some kind of liquid. As the tube heats up, the liquid heats up and expands and rises in the tube.", "This is why tree leaves change color in fall - the photosynthetic pigments are slowly breaking apart as the leaves die. If you had a solution or a petri plate with lots of healthy photosynthetic bacteria, their pigments might make the solution or plate look colored.", "These fibers may be from natural or synthetic sources. Humans originally made cloth from natural sources, but have subsequently found the means to make their own fibers starting from basic chemicals. Each type has different properties of flexibility, ability to serve as insulation, ability to conduct moisture.", "Fraternal twins happen when the mother releases two eggs, which are in turn fertilized by two different sperm. Genetically, they are no different from any other siblings, except that they are born at the same time and thus are the same age. \nAnswer 6:", "The reason electrons cannot simply orbit the nuclei is because electrons emit light as they are accelerated, and anything orbiting anything is constantly being accelerated (the mis-named \"centrifugal\" force). Emitting this light causes the electrons to lose energy, and spiral inward into whatever they are orbiting.", "Scientists agree that human production of green house gases is having a massive effect on the global climate. Scientists do have different theories about the ultimate outcome of the climate change caused by humans, but none of the scenarios are very positive.", "Scientists think that this may be easier for them, because their bodies are not as complex as ours. Starfish, if you ever look closely at one, have a central region of the body from which the limbs arise. If a limb is severed, a new one (small) appears in the central region, and extends outward.", "In fact, coal is a huge hydrocarbon, shown. click here . You can see there are benzene rings and linear chains of carbon spewed among many functional groups. Contrast that with diamond, which is exclusively composed of C-C covalent bonding in a periodic tetragonal fashion. click here for image.", "On the other hand, there are now more than 160 known extrasolar planets -- and the number is likely to grow rapidly in the next few years. A future space-based interferometric spectroscope may well detect water based clouds outside of the solar system in the future. \nAnswer 2:", "The truth is that nobody can answer those questions. The fact of the matter is that scientists have studied these things at great length, and we know that it is indeed the case, that when a magnet moves in proximity to a loop of wire, it exerts a force on the electrons within that loop which causes a current.", "Question Date: 2016-08-31. \nAnswer 1: Remote controls work through sending electro magnetic waves through the air that the TV can pick up. The control sends out infrared waves which is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which includes radio, gamma, and micro waves, as well as all visible light. We can not see the infrared light, as its frequency is a little too low for humans to detect, however it is sent out using a Light Emitting Diode, (or LED) that works in the same way an LED TV screen sends out light.", "Similarly, many marine organisms, like oysters and sponges (to name a few) move through the water by drifting early in their life (this is called a `pelagic stage´) but once they settle in an area, like a rocky sea surface, they will attach for life. That´s how features like oyster beds and coral reefs form! \nAnswer 2:", "Mitochondria also have their own ribosomes and do their own separate division. So what's up? After all, every cell in your body (except mature red blood cell, which have no nuclei, and egg cells) has the same DNA in its nucleus. Why would mitochondria need.", "After mating, each snail will lay eggs either in the dirt (land snails) or behind a rock (marine snails). The eggs will hatch and a baby snail will be born after 2-4 weeks. While the baby grows and develops it stays in a nest near its parents for about 3 months before it is ready to go off into the world on its own.", "At any rate, the net reaction is that Na, Ca and many other ions or \"salts\" are added to sea water. This may seem surprising, but the salt from the ocean comes from the \"fresh\" water in the rivers. In fact \"fresh\" water is not totally fresh (there is even a little bit of salt in your tap water!).", "It turns out that the way the upper limit on the photon (a light \"particle\") mass was determined was by making measurements of the Earth's (and I've heard Jupiter's) magnetic field. If photons have mass then magnetic fields at large distances will behave differently than if photons don't have mass.", "The fire is a result of this reaction happening very quickly and is known as combustion. The fire is so hot that the wax actually turns from a solid to a vapor. It is the wax vapor that is actually participating in the chemical reaction. \nAnswer 2: A candle is made of wax, which is made of hydrocarbons.", "The Atlanta Zoo was very happy in 2016 when twin pandas were born. A mother panda can live for 20 years in the wild. She will only have 4 or 5 babies in her lifetime. In zoos, pandas can live longer and have more babies.", "This process is called ionization. When that happens, you have a plasma: a soup of free-flying electrons, bare nuclei, and atoms with missing electrons. Plasma obeys the ideal gas laws, assuming the temperature remains high enough to keep the electrons from settling down onto the atoms.", "Also, different colors of light move at different speeds in different materials, and this movement at different materials causes the light waves to separate out into colors, which is why you see rainbows. Prisms work just like rainbows, except that the substance is glass instead of drop of water. \nAnswer 4:", "NaHCO 3 (s) + HC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) → NaC 2 H 3 O 2 (aq) + H 2 O (l) + CO 2 (g) Baking soda and vinegar will react even if you mix them in an uneven ratio – there will just be some of the excess baking soda or vinegar left over. Now, we need to find a way to know how many molecules of baking soda and vinegar you have.", "However, plants only perform photosynthesis in the green parts, like leaves and stems, but all plant cells need oxygen to respire. Cells in the leaves get plenty of oxygen from photosynthesis, but cells in the roots often need to get oxygen from the environment to stay alive.", "In a balloon when the temperature increases, the individual gas molecules that you can't see but that make up gases start moving really fast. When the molecules are moving fast under higher temperatures, they run into the sides of the balloon more often making the balloon bigger.", "If a virus and a bacteria were introduced into an environment of pure oxygen, would the virus be able to reproduce via the bacteria? Does this only occur with certain types of viruses and/or bacteria? Would the virus, bacteria, or both die off (either way)?", "Leaves have many adaptations that make them well designed for photosynthesis. The flat surface of the leaf contains many tiny openings called stomata. These are like very small holes that allow carbon dioxide into the leaf – and oxygen out. There can be over 100,000 stomata in an inch of a leaf!", "A few drops poured straight into the back of your throat in theory should immediately boil because of the rapid change in temperature and humidity when they leave the surrounding liquid N (around -320F) and enter your mouth (around +96F). If this works right, the nitrogen will evaporate before it hits your skin.", "Question Date: 2013-04-25. \nAnswer 1: The nucleus is like the boss of a cell. All living things are made of cells.

The nucleus is usually the big round thing you see inside a cell.", "Chromosome 1 is much larger than chromosome 22, for example. There's even a pair of chromosomes that may be different sizes. In females, chromosome pair 23 is two X chromosomes. For males, pair 23 is one X and one Y. The X is much larger and contains around 2,000 genes.", "Such mutants dramatically demonstrate the overwhelming importance of the nucleus in biogenesis. They also show that an organelle that [here's the important part!] divides by fission can replicate indefinitely in the cytoplasm of proliferating eukaryotic cells even in the complete absence of its own genome.\".", "This means that a black object absorbs the most visible light and converts this light energy to heat. \nAnswer 2: Black pans will absorb the most heat energy since they reflect the least light (i.e. they absorb the most light). The more light an object absorbs, the more it can be heated.", "We have 2 legs because our ancestors had 2 legs - our distant relatives are all the other 2-legged primates walking and climbing around. Spiders have 8 legs, because their ancestors had 8 legs. Spiders and horseshoe crabs evolved from the same ancestors!", "Question Date: 2013-02-14. \nAnswer 1: We don't know for sure that space never ends. It seems most likely that either space goes on forever or that it wraps back around on itself like a circle.", "Atoms make up molecules. Atoms are connected by what we call chemical bonds. Bonds are really just when atoms share electrons, but we often think of them as a spring that connects two atoms. There are three main modes of molecular movement - vibrational, translational, and rotational.", "This thing you're changing is called the independent variable (it's called a vary-able because you can vary it!). Everything you then measure is called a dependent variable, because these depend on the in (in meaning not)dependent variable. This is vague so let's consider an example:", "Asteroids strike the surface of the moon average speed of 12 miles per second. Earth´s surface also has craters but not nearly as many as the moon because the earth is surrounded by an atmosphere which causes asteroids to burn up before they can reach the surface.", "If you took a piece of the inner core to the surface of the Earth, it wouldn't be liquid or even gas - it would be a plasma, since the temperature (8000 degrees C - hotter than the surface of the sun)is so high. \nAnswer 3: The short answer to that question is: Pressure.", "black plants. Very cool question! Plant leaves are like engines, they can overheat and malfunction if they get too hot. Black leaves likely overheat more than green leaves. Also, absorbing different wavelengths depends on the pigment molecules in the plant and how much energy can be harvested from that wavelength.", "Shaking a bottle of soda mixes up all the bubbles from the surface and they get distributed all throughout the soda and stick to the sides of the bottle as well. Then, when you open the bottle all the bubbles float to the surface at once and there's a bit of a traffic jam.", "Now in order to see this effect, you need a large body with a lot of mass which will bend the path of light due to its gravity. One example of a big body is the Sun, but since the Sun gives off so much light itself, it is often difficult to see this.", "Blue stars are hotter. This is the same principle as objects you're more familiar with. When you heat up a piece of metal hot enough, it starts glowing red. As it gets hotter, it becomes more orange, yellow, and then white (like a lightbulb, which is so hot it emits white light). This is the same case with stars.", "For instance, in the 1950, evidence for sea floor spreading was discovered by the US Navy scientists. This led to the formation of plate tectonics, and part of its evidence suggests that continents do move, which supports Wegener’s statement about continents drifting apart from each other.", "Then, the SUN is like an engine which drives ocean currents. \nAnswer 2: The sun affects ocean currents in a couple of ways. When the sun heats water at the surface of the ocean, some of the water will evaporate and increase the concentration of salt in the water at the surface.", "If you are wondering where the sun came from originally, there was an answer to one of the last batch of Scienceline questions about how starts are born. The sun is just a star, and was born in the same way as other stars, so you can just look up the answer to that question. \nAnswer 2:", "This may explain why prints are only on surfaces we use to grip items with, our fingers (and our evolutionary ancestors used their toes for gripping as well). The fingerprints are produced from a layer in the skin called the papillary layer, which is a layer within the dermis layer of skin.", "Question Date: 2003-05-15. \nAnswer 1: For many years (about 80) it has been known that adding chromium and nickel (the nickel is not essential but the chromium is) to iron makes a steel that does not rust (it is stainless). The chromium in the steel forms a very thin layer of oxide that prevents the iron from rusting.", "So, to determine whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic, use a thermometer to measure the temperature! For baking soda and vinegar, the reaction will become cold, because this reaction consumes energy. Try it!", "If you seal a plant in an airtight terrarium, it will still grow because it can recycle both the oxygen and the carbon dioxide that it uses. If you could magically remove all oxygen from the terrarium, though, the plant would die. \nAnswer 3: Plants do need oxygen to survive.", "Mountain don't get pushed up all at once, and then simply begin to erode. Rather, mountains are uplifted and worn away simultaneously. If uplift exceeds the rate of erosion, a mountains slowly gets taller through time. Conversely, if erosion rates are higher than the rate of uplift, mountains become lower.", "Potassium has to leave in order to stop the message and let the muscle relax again. The entire process is fairly complicated and has to do with the concentrations of sodium and potassium and their charges. You need the right balance of sodium, potassium, and water for all of this to work right.", "Question Date: 2010-12-06. \nAnswer 1: There are two parts to the answer, and the first one depends on what you call \"colors\".

I work with a number of microbiologists (people who study bacteria), and I'm a microbiologist myself, and none of us has heard of such bacteria.", "Both of these factors will increase the rate of crystallization. As explained, crystallization occurs when a solution becomes supersaturated. The solubility of sugar (and other molecules and ions) depends on temperature, so another way to make a supersaturated solution is to cool the solution.", "An oxygen atom has more mass (weight) than a carbon atom because it has more protons and neutrons. Atoms are made up of protons and neutrons, which are heavy, and electrons, which are very light. And then molecules are made up of a bunch of atoms bonded together, possibly of different elements.", "When that happens, you can't see the kool-aid anymore...it's trapped between the water molecules. When you stir kool-aid, you help DISSOLVE the kool-aid in water by keeping all of the crystals off the bottom and in the water.", "Depending on the definition, plants may or may not need also to enclose the developing new plant in an embryo (if this definition holds, then green algae are not plants; otherwise, they are). Animals are multicellular organisms held together by a specific protein called collagen.", "Question Date: 2005-10-27. \nAnswer 1: As you may know, atoms are composed of three different types of particles: protons, neutrons, which are found in the nucleus, and electrons which are found in the electron cloud around the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are responsible for most of the atomic mass. The atomic mass for protons and neutrons is the same.", "Keep your ice cream in a plastic container, and put a blanket around the ice cream bucket. The blanket will slow the exchange of air from around the ice cream container, and make it melt more slowly. This is the same reason why you wear thick clothing to stay warm, except you're using it in reverse!", "The presence of the stable film prevents additional corrosion by acting as a barrier that limits oxygen and water access to the underlying metal surface. Because the film forms so readily and tightly, even only a few atomic layers reduce the rate of corrosion to very low levels.", "These guys have evolved to suck nutrients and water from other plants without the necessity for photosynthesis.

This is just a way of saying that when in flight, the rubber band is only acted upon by gravity and air resistance, and in this case, the air resistance is almost negligible.", "Animals can also help plant reproduction by dispersing seeds around in different areas. Seeds can stick to fur or be intentionally moved, such as when squirrels or birds pick them up and drop or bury them. Animals that eat seeds also disperse the seeds when the poop them out.", "We don't recognize this motion when we walk on the Earth's surface every day because we are always comparing our speed relative to other things that are also on our planet. One way to recognize the Earth's movement is to look at objects that are not attached to Earth: like the sun or stars.", "The simplest answer to why plants are green is that the parts that are green (e.g., leaves and stems) are reflecting green light. Objects appear certain colors to us because they reflect those colors and absorb every other color. For example, red things reflect red but absorb everything else.", "These are known as RHIZOIDS. Some kind of mosses or Bryophytes attach to the rocks by these rhizoids. Most mosses have very little resistance to drying out, and because most of the mosses are confined to areas which are damp and sheltered, some kind of rocks are suitable for them to live.", "However, potassium has 3 isotopes. An isotope is an atom of an element with the same number of protons, but differing numbers of neutrons, which means that isotopes have different atomic weights. Because potassium has 3 isotopes, then we have to calculate for the different atomic weights of the isotopes: Potassium-39 - It has 19 protons and atomic mass is 39.", "Scientists would say that feathers are less dense than lead, because they take up more space for the same weight. Now think about dropping a rock in a glass of water full to the very top. Some of the water will spill over, because the rock is now taking up space at the bottom of the glass that used to have water in it.", "This is what makes iron tricky, but it also makes it a versatile material that we encounter in many forms in nature. \nAnswer 2: When we say \"charge\" in an atom, we use a number that determines the electromagnetic interactions of the atom.", "Some conifer seeds have seed wings, which increase the chances that they will be moved by wind.

Carbon (pure C) comes in different forms called polymorphs (poly means many and morph means form...).", "Mammals, for the most part, don't have access to an unlimited supply of water, so don't want to have to urinate gallons and gallons of ammonia every day. Instead, we convert the ammonia to the slightly less toxic compound urea. We can concentrate urea more than ammonia, so we can urinate less and conserve water.", "Question Date: 2016-01-26. \nAnswer 1: Electricity is the movement of electrons (or anything else that has electric charge). Electrons are matter. However, electrons by themselves are not electricity.", "We know that dihydrogen (H 2) has 2 hydrogen atoms per molecule, so there will be 2 * 1g hydrogen per mole = 2g dihydrogen per mole.

An implosion is simply the opposite of an explosion. In an explosion, matter and energy fly outward, but in an implosion, matter and energy collapse inward.", "I guess this is an assumption scientists make and there is no proof, but it has never, ever failed before. So if the laws of physics are the same everywhere, they should depend only on things that are also the same everywhere. This is why the important number in science is the mass, not the weight.", "They are called acid-base indicators. Some of them are natural products (mostly from plants). For example, if you take a cup of black tea and add lemon juice (acid!), the liquid in the cup goes from dark to light brown indicating a high concentration of hydrogen ions in the juice.", "Question Date: 1999-06-03. \nAnswer 1: If a big comet hit the Earth, it would cause great devastation.

So...when you're looking at your veins and arteries, the ones that look \"blue\" have blood without oxygen in them.", "Scientists like to use these sensors because they can find temperatures faster and with greater precision than with ordinary thermometers. \nAnswer 2: Thermal energy can be described as the amount of energy a body stored due to its being at a higher temperature than its surroundings .", "Vaporization is the opposite from the liquid to the gas state. Melting is from the solid to the liquid state and freezing from liquid to solid. \nAnswer 2: Yes, there is an opposite to sublimation as a phase change, when a gas condenses directly to the solid phase bypassing the liquid.", "Venus is hotter due to the greenhouse effect: Venus has an atmosphere about ninety times thicker than that of Earth, and made almost entirely of carbon dioxide, which is one of the gasses that causes the greenhouse effect on Earth.", "As it moves into the mantle, it brings ocean water with it. When ocean water and hot mantle rock mix, the rock melts to form a magma. That magma rises up to the Earth's surface and erupts in a volcano! Because there's so much water in the magma, it causes a very \"gassy\" explosion , which is what forms the cinders.", "Anyway above the troposphere lies the stratosphere.

In particular, if we have enough seismic stations and the quake is big enough, then we can take all the travel time information and invert it. That means we can obtain a graph that shows the density of rock as a function of depth.", "The way this pressure would change is if we move further from the center of the earth, because the pressure is caused by the gravitational attraction of the earth's atmosphere to the earth. So in Mexico City (which is at 8000 feet) the pressure is less than in Los Angeles (which is at sea level).", "If food cannot pass through, then the nutrients from the food cannot be absorbed.

When a plant is properly hydrated, there is enough water pressure to make the leaves strong and sturdy; when a plant doesn't get enough water, the pressure inside the stems and leaves drops and they wilt. Plants also need water for photosynthesis.", "Sources: USNO. USNO web ephemeris (1 AU = 93 million miles) \nAnswer 2: Right now, Mars is about 34.6 million miles away from Earth. I know this because of all the hoopla surrounding Mars being as close as it has been to the Earth in thousands of years.", "When full spectrum light, like sunlight shines on a plant all the photopigments are activated and absorb their \"specialty\" color. A plant's chloroplasts get all the actions of the photopigments coordinated so that they're all working to harness most of the sun's light rays and make plant food.", "However diatomic hydrogen does in fact achieve escape velocity and leaves the earth. So while strictly speaking water does not escape, hydrogen does. A place to read about this is in the book moons and planets by W. Hartmann or any other decent planetary science books.", "We have optical cells in our eyes that take in light to see our surroundings.

Thanks for asking. \nAnswer 5:", "I recently wrote an article on such an animal -- here is the link if you're interested (it also talks more about photosynthesis): photosynthetic_animal. \nAnswer 3: Photosynthesis takes place in two stages, the first of which captures the energy, and the second which makes sugars.", "This is because air pressure decreases as we get further away from the surface of the earth because there are less particles of air pushing down on it. Think of the atmosphere as a giant \"ocean\" of air. When you swim deeper in the ocean, the pressure gets greater because there is more water on top of you.", "What things in a house are conductors? A good rule of thumb is that any metal object is a conductor. So in a house, you could find many conductors in a kitchen, for example pots and pans, forks, knives, and spoons. The metal coins in your wallet or purse are also conductors. Other metal conductors are jewelry, tools, wires, and pens.", "Furthermore, the photons from different colors of light contain different amounts of energy. You probably know the colors of the spectrum (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet); well, those colors are in ascending order of energy -- a photon of blue light has more energy than a photon of red light (this is true because of Planck's Law, which a physicist could explain better than I).", "And the craziest thing is that whether they behave one way or the other depends largely on whether or not anyone is watching them at the time. I cannot explain this behavior... actually no one can. All we can do as scientists is observe that it is the case and describe it using mathematical laws.", "Energy whose wavelength is too long to see is \"redder than red\". The term \"Infra-\" means \"lower than\".White light is a mixture of the colors of the visible spectrum. Black is a total absence of light. There are many wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum the human eye cannot detect.", "If this were the only factor then dG would also be >0 and the reaction would not be spontaneous. Thus, the magnitude of T*dS must be larger than the magnitude of dH, and that allows this reaction to take place without requiring additional stimulus despite taking in energy from the surroundings.", "But as you know from the second of Newton's laws, the force exerted by the Earth on a body, the gravitational force, equals g times the mass of the body.

One, you can design the object to displace a lot of water, such as boats. Two, you can make either the object less dense than the water. In the case of eggs, the second option is more appropriate since it is difficult to reshape an egg into a boat.", "Cells come in all shapes and sizes, serving different functions in animals and plants. The natural tendency for cells, unless being used for a specialized purpose (such as the long stretched out filaments of our neuron cells in our brains), is to take a somewhat spherical,round shape.", "Rubber bands are made of natural rubber. Natural rubber is made of long chains of molecules called polymers. Because these polymers are so long (they can be thousands of molecules long) they get tangled up in themselves. The result is a property called elasticity, the polymers are elastic.", "Thanks for the great question. \nAnswer 2: You are right that scientists can tell something about what animals eat by looking at their teeth. Pointy, serrated or notched teeth are good for tearing flesh, while large, flat or extra-calcified teeth are good for grinding away at plants.", "As long as the pressure outside is able to overcome the force of gravity, the liquid will stay in the straw. A column of water 32 feet (9.8 meters - there is a reason why this is a familiar number and it has to do with the density of water being 1) in height generates one atmosphere of pressure. As a consequence, if you have your column of water in your straw or thermometer, or what have you that is more than 32 feet in height, cavitations will occur and the water will fall down out of the straw creating \"bubbles\" of vacuum behind it, as gravity is overpowering the air pressure.", "When salty water boils only the pure water will turn into steam, but the salt will be left behind.

More specifically, the hemes can bind iron molecules, and these iron molecules bind oxygen. The blood cells are red because of the interaction between iron and oxygen.", "Maybe this would look like plant life, where we take energy from the sun and water and nutrients from a root system. Or maybe it would look like fungi, which take up small sugar and amino acid compounds through their cell walls and break them down for energy. Or maybe something altogether different and unknown.", "This makes the map of chemical interactions incredibly more complex and intricate, and allows the formation of higher-order emergent behavior, such as brain activity and thought. \nAnswer 2: First we have to define the words cell and brain.

Also, in case you are interested, the visible range of the solar spectrum makes up about 45% of the total solar spectrum, meaning that plants can only use about half of the sun's emitted energy for photosynthesis.", "For example, a red apple is reflecting red light and absorbing all other colors of light. The more light the object absorbs, the more heat absorbed since light is energy. If you consider it a color, black absorbs the most heat. A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and reflects none.", "At 100 meters below the surface, it's 10 atmospheres, or 10 times the pressure outside as inside. In other words, a 10 meter increase in depth causes another 1 atmosphere of pressure. This can be a powerful crushing force. The squid, on the other hand (or tentacle), has no big air space in the middle of its body.", "The difference between the bowl's original weight and its weight now is the salt.

When ocean plates collide, ONE of them WILL go down, and you get island arcs.", "We often like to think of this as plants `breathing in carbon dioxide and `breathing out oxygen. However, the process is not exactly this simple. Just like animals, plants need to break down carbohydrates into energy. Oxygen is required to do this.", "Ocean water can be trapped in ocean crust, contributing to its density.

As to why Earth is layered, early in its history it got hot enough (from gravitational compression, the energy of impacting bodies, and radiation, to have partially melted.", "Question Date: 2001-03-29. \nAnswer 1: The different layers have different densities and so float one. upon another. Some of the molten layers have different temperatures and different viscosities, which affect how they mix or do not mix together. A few lakes at the Earth's surface have a similar effect, resulting in two distinct layers of water that never mix, with the warm water staying at the surface, and the much colder water staying at the bottom.", "Scientists that study their biology (e.g. the type of food they eat, where they live, how many babies they have per year, how many different kinds of species there are) are called primate biologists or primatologists. Many scientists are very concerned that primates will go extinct soon.", "Now use the red crayon or marker to make 20 lines, each one 2 inches long, inside the big square. In your drawing, the red lines are to show heat. You can see that a lot less of the big square is covered by red. If you were an ant walking around in the big square, you would touch a lot less heat.", "Oxygen gas is two oxygen atoms bonded together, O 2. Water, is one oxygen atom bonded to two different hydrogen atoms, H 2 O. When atoms are bonded together, (H 2, O 2, H 2 O etc.) we call the total structure a molecule. Hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms are found in many different molecules, and these different molecules make up, solids, liquids, and gasses.", "This process is called heat convection. Saltwater changes in density a bit faster as it cools down than freshwater which means it might move faster when you put the ice cube in, which helps melt the ice, but it also is more viscous so it's harder, which makes it harder to move which slows down the melting process.", "The blood vessels you see at the surface of your skin are veins. Everyone's skin is slightly different in color, so the veins can look different in different people, but blood is exactly the same color in everyone. It still doesn't look red. That's because we're seeing the *walls* of the veins too.", "That force is what causes the ball to come back up. With more air in the ball, the air starts at higher pressure and pushes back that much harder when the ball is bounced. So that short answer is that more inflated basketballs bounce better because they have more air pressure inside them. This is easy to test.", "Pallasites are meteorites that have both metal and the mineral olivine in them , and it's thought that they represent the core-mantle boundary of a planet or large asteroid. Other types of meteorites, chondrite, are much more common and represent material that never formed into a planet or large asteroid.", "In general, plants don't give off carbon dioxide unless they are burned. The natural respiration of plants actually pulls carbon dioxide out of the air. Using the energy from sunlight, the plants turn the carbon dioxide into sugars and starches, which are stored in the plant's roots, stems, and leaves. When the plant dies, some carbon dioxide may be released as it decomposes.", "For this reason, most definitions of life do not identify viruses as living organisms, because they aren't actually *organisms*.

If the bubbles are big enough and rise fast enough, then the force of the water pushing against the top of the bubble causes the larger bubbles to flatten.", "Bunsen burner flames are hotter than light bulb filaments, which are hotter than coals. \nAnswer 2: This question could have multiple interpretations. First, a darker object will absorb more radiation than a lighter colored one, and will thus heat up faster under bright light.", "If these kinds of questions interest you, you may want to explore physiology or fish biology. Thanks for asking, \nAnswer 2: This actually has to do with one of the common \"themes\" in biology: the relationship of structure and function. The short answer is that gills collapse.", "They then take the energy from the sun to pull the carbon atoms out of the carbon dioxide.

That means another force besides gravity is keeping the air in so you can breathe it.", "Question Date: 1998-11-12. \nAnswer 1: Blue flames come from very hot, complete burning of air and fuel. Orange color comes from cooler spots in the flame where fuel isn't being totally burned and these produce a little bit of soot and smoke. The color of the flame is related to the heat of the flame. Think about the colors of different hot things: the Sun is white or yellow, a hot stove is red, a camp-fire is orange, and a gas flame is usually blue.", "Now, some molecules can have color.

Are those particles a liquid or a gas? Some of us think that it is small, minute droplets of perfume liquid (like steam is condensed water vapor in the form of liquid. Some of us think that since the perfume is volatile, that the particles that we are smelling are gas particles that have evaporated from the liquid perfume.", "In water, the projections on the gills float, so each is surrounded with water from which it can absorb oxygen. On land, these all collapse together, blocking most of the surface area. So they don’t work well and the fish suffocates. Lungs increase surface area by having many tiny pockets, which don’t collapse in air.", "So to do this in your case, you actually need two wires.

Those planes that did crash and those ships that did sink probably just experienced a bit of bad luck.", "I will close with saying that there is a limit to how much sugar can dissolve in water. Higher temperature water usually increases the amount of sugar that can dissolve, while cooler temperature water usually decreases the amount of sugar that can dissolve. So you can actually reverse the process of dissolving sugar.", "Question Date: 2019-01-29. \nAnswer 1: Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms: bonds between atoms can be broken, new bonds can form, or both. For a bond to break, energy is required. And, when a bond forms, energy is released. So, if you add up all the energy consumed to break bonds and produced when bonds form, you get the total change in energy for the reaction.", "Keratin is a tough fibrous protein found in hair, skin, and calluses, and acts as a protective coating. The epidermis cells are constantly undergoing mitosis so that the outer dead cells containing keratin are rapidly replaced as they fall off, which occurs after so many days.", "In fact, your body looks for that change in pH and uses it to control the amount of oxygen which it sends to your muscles. When the pH of your blood goes down, your body is producing a lot of carbon dioxide. This also means your body is using a lot of oxygen.", "However, if you consider that all humans share a common ancestor, then you could say that every human is related to every other human. If we branch further out, we could say that humans are related to chimpanzees (even though we are not the same species) because millions of years ago we shared a common ancestor.", "A convex lens curves outward in the middle and can focus light rays to magnify an object. Water in a curved container or water droplets (both highly curved and convex) can thus be great magnifiers. This is in contrast to a concave lens, which curves inward in the middle and spreads light rays out.", "For plants to make new plants, they need pollen to go from one flower to another which birds help with.

So x 0 = x (1-1) = x 1 /x = x/x = 1. \nAnswer 6: of the answer is that this is how we've defined powers to be. Raising something to a power greater than zero means multiplying it by itself a number of times equal to the power.", "As the subducting plate sinks, it melts. That rock melt, mixed with water that is pulled down into the subduction zone with the subducting plate, erupts as a volcano at the surface.You have a nice animation to the volcano in the next link: animation. \nAnswer 4:", "I couldn't find much information about the difference between cat and owl eyes as far as if one is better at night vision or not. Apparently owl's eyes are so big that they can't move them in their sockets like cats and humans can.", "Thanks for asking. \nAnswer 2: You're probably thinking of the Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya, the three \"domains\" of life. Although domains are a useful concept, dividing all of life into three groups like that isn't really correct.", "Believe it or not, between 5% to 40% (depending on the species) of adult spiders will be missing at least one of their legs. In 2011, a group of researchers in France decided to take a closer look to find out what happens when spiders do lose one or two legs.", "How does temperature affect the growth of sugar crystals? The higher the temperature, the more easily sugar dissolves in water, and so existing sugar crystals will dissolve. At lower temperature, they will precipitate. I found a site where you can read about the different factors that affect the crystal growth.", "The material type dominates heat absorption coming from radiators and air conditioning, for example. \nAnswer 3: The color of a shirt affect the amount of heat it absorbs and you can feel this in your daily life. Different shirts with different colors will absorb light of different wavelength.", "Question Date: 2006-01-06. \nAnswer 1: The digestive system is a complex series of organs that processes food. In order to use the food we eat, our body has to break the food down into smaller molecules that it can process.", "I made a very generalized sketch of whats going on at spreading center. click here to see. Good Luck! \nAnswer 3: Creation of new crust - as the crust splits apart, magma from the mantle comes up to fill the cracks, solidifies, and becomes part of the new plates that are separating.", "A lot of my college students still have trouble with this one. The reactions that happen in respiration and photosynthesis are different, but if we just look at what goes in and what comes out, they're opposites. Here's photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide (CO 2) and Water (H 2 0) in, Oxygen and Sugar out.", "Question Date: 2016-02-16. \nAnswer 1: The simplest answer is: no, an object's weight usually will not change its falling speed. For example, you can test this by dropping a bowling ball and a basketball from the same height at the same time--they should fall at the same speed and land at the same time. But that's not always true if there is a lot of drag such as air resistance.", "To the best of my knowledge, people aren't sure why the skin there is different, but there was an article in a respected science journal (think of a blog where scientists promote and publish their ideas) a couple years ago, that suggested fingerprints helped improve our ability to feel texture.", "Question Date: 1999-02-17. \nAnswer 1: Clouds can only form where air is rising. When air rises it cools off, and this can cause water droplets to form, making clouds. Not all rising air makes clouds, but if the air has enough moisture (humidity) in it, then clouds may form.", "If I learn more I will pass it on. \nAnswer 4: You have a good question. The \"color\" of blood depends on how much oxygen is in the blood; when here is plenty of oxygen, the blood is more \"reddish in color. The reason that this is so is because of a protein called HEMOGLOBIN, which carries the oxygen in your blood.", "Thanks for the question! Skeletal muscles are the muscles we use to move around everyday. When we are growing as a child, the muscle cells undergo mitosis so that our muscles can grow in proportion to our bones, height, and weight. During adulthood, though, no new muscle cells are generated.", "The short answer is that water evaporates in the sun, as it does in any hot place, because the heating of water causes the water molecules to move faster and faster until they break free from the bonds that hold them in place as a liquid. The molecules then escape from the liquid into the surrounding medium as free gas molecules.", "A simplified explanation is that microwave radiation is very good at transferring energy (heat) to water. Since most foods contain a lot of water, this results in the transfer of a lot of heat into your food.", "The short answer to your question is no. In a few cases, heat actually makes some things contract rather than expand. The best example is water. When ice is heated from 0 to 4 degrees C, it actually contracts.", "Question Date: 2010-01-29. \nAnswer 1: Good question! I've also wondered about this whenever I have seen fish being sold in bags or small glass bowls at large discount stores or maybe at a county fair (where you can \"win a fish\") - it seems like they have put food coloring in the water to make it more attractive.", "As you probably know, earthworms, as the common name implies, live underground, and like most terrestrial creatures, breath air. Oxygen uptake, however takes place through the body wall, as earthworms lack lungs. When it rains, the water flows into their burrows (their wormy homes), blocking off their air supply.", "The temperature where a particular material freezes (or melts, depending on the direction) depends on the forces between the molecules and the size of the molecules – the stronger the forces are and the bigger the molecules, the more energy is needed to escape the solid state and become a liquid.", "Carbon monoxide and oxygen molecules both have 2 atoms. Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in our red blood cells [erythrocytes is their scientific name]. With carbon monoxide bound to hemoglobin where oxygen is supposed to bind, our bodies don't get the oxygen they need. That's how carbon monoxide kills.", "This is about pressure - the air inside of the syringe takes up some volume and exerts pressure on the plunger. If you keep the air inside from escaping by holding the nozzle closed, then the air will get concentrated to higher pressure as you push in the plunger - until the pressure inside the syringe is the same as the pressure you're putting on it with the plunger, at which point you can't push it in anymore, because the air pressure becomes stronger than your finger.", "Molecules and atoms exist in certain physical forms (solids, liquids, and gases) on Earth because of the temperature and pressure that the earth has. The temperature and pressure varies depending upon where you live. But most molecules (except water) and atoms are in the same state no matter where on earth you are.", "Heat can be transferred in a couple different ways, but one way is radiation. All objects radiate heat energy, even our own bodies. You may be able to guess that hotter object emit more radiation than colder objects. Radiation is transmitted by waves, and these waves can be absorbed or reflected just like light waves!", "In order for them to do this, they need to receive the right signals from the rest of the body. If we lose a limb, we either don't send the right signals to our stem cells, or our stem cells are not able to differentiate into all the parts necessary for a whole new limb.", "That also means a single atom is not very heavy, and so we'd have to have a lot of atoms to give us 1 lb of carbon or oxygen. That's why we use the mole. The mole is just a number that represents 6.02x10 23 (or 602 sextillion or 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).", "P.S.

So thenthe water molecules are attracted to each other, so that the positivecharge on the hydrogen atoms are near the negative charges on theoxygen atoms.", "This is a classic question that many grade school science projects have attempted to answer for many many years. The answer has to do with an understanding of the rainbow (or the full visible light spectrum) and the color of plants' leaves.", "What is the composition of fabric, specifically cotton, wool, fleece, and polyester? Cotton consists of the feathery appendages of the seeds in a cotton plant, which assists in dispersing the seed by wind. Cotton fibers would be made out of cellulose. Wool and fleece are the hair of sheep. Hair is composed of a protein called keratin, which is the same protein that skin, nails, and feathers are made of.", "One bee will travel to many different flowers in one day. When the bee collects the pollen in the flower from the stamen, it gets some of the pollen on it's body and legs; this pollen will be transferred to the next flower it visits, as the bee must pass by the pistil.", "Question Date: 2009-01-19. \nAnswer 1: Rust is what happens when you oxidize a metal. For example, you form Fe 2 O 3 on Fe (when talking about iron or steel). Acid can dissolve the rust (Fe 2 O 3 ). However, the acid will also oxidize the metal further, forming more rust, and dissolving that rust.", "For something to burn, the reaction requires a fuel (the thing that burns) and an oxidizer like oxygen. Without the fuel, though, no combustion will take place no matter how high the concentration of oxygen is. Since air itself is not flammable, it is not a fuel and will not combust, spontaneously or otherwise.", "While these electrons don't orbit the nucleus like the planets orbit the sun, they do tend to spend more time at certain distances from that central spot. These distances depend on the energy of the electrons (how 'fast' they're travelling around the nucleus).", "You can also look up what a \"super-saturated solution\" is, and see how getting water super hot can cooling it down actually change this maximum amount that can be dissolved at room temperature. \nAnswer 9: You are correct, salt dissolves quicker in room temperature than in cold water.", "There is far more to be said, but this answer can't include a full thermodynamics course.

Kool-Aid itself is actually a mixture of sugar, water, dye, and flavoring.", "I would hate to give you the answer, as the point of doing a science project is to look at the results and think for yourself what they mean. First of all, you must know something about how plants absorb light or you wouldn't have chosen this project. The clear cellophane is letting all colors of light pass through.", "This doesn't sound that impressive, but keep in mind that 5 feet of DNA is being packed into each cell in your body, and the average diameter of the a nucleus in a human cell is only 10 microns, or 0.00001 meters.", "Women in childbearing years usually produce one mature egg a month. Fraternal twins form when she releases two (or more) eggs. Each one is fertilized by a separate sperm. Genetically, fraternal twins are no more alike than siblings (brothers and sisters). Identical twins start off as one fertilized egg.", "By weight, you are mostly made of atoms spewed out by supernovae explosions over 5 billion years ago. There is a supernova explosion about every 100 years in this galaxy, so there is a good chance you will see one. It will look like an extremely bright star, easily visible during the day, and casting shadows at night.", "The bottle of the chemical said, \"No physiological effect\", or something like that. My professor said the chemical DID have a physiological effect, because Smell was a physiological effect! This is the best answer I can give you now. Scientists will discover things that might change these answers.", "The water balloon wouldn't go anywhere, because it would act in exactly the same way that the lake water would act. It has the same pressure gradients and all that. So the buoyancy force is balanced out by the weight of the water.", "The geologic record does show that climate in the past has a very close association with CO 2 levels, but that in itself does not prove anything because CO 2 becomes less soluble in water with higher temperature, so if climate warms, more CO 2 will come out into the atmosphere anyway.", "Oxygen even interferes with some of these pathways, killing the bacteria that use them. If you are interested in bacteria, think about studying microbiology. We know so little about them that there are many amazing species left to find.

For the Jovian or GAS Planets however, the situation is a little different. For the outer gas giants, solar heating contributes less (because the Sun is much farther away).", "All burning is combustion, but it's only spontaneous combustion if the burning results from a heat-producing reaction instead of from a spark or some other ignition. So the toast example is of combustion, but the oily rags example is spontaneous combustion.", "The heat allows the hydrogen to combine with the small amount of oxygen in the air. When you look in the test tube afterwards there will be water condensed on the glass! Hope that answers your question! \nAnswer 2: Yes, one can take Hydrogen and Oxygen and react them in appropriate conditions and form water vapor.", "The more air we pump into them the more squished the air has to become to fit inside the ball.

During a full moon, the earth is between the sun and the moon and we see the side of the moon that the sun is shining on.", "Also, it may rise too much then collapse because the bubbles will get too big then pop. There are no health risks with adding too much baking soda though. If you accidentally add too much baking soda, the best thing to do is increase the amount of other ingredients so you don’t end up eating flat, bitter baked goods.", "Things can be a bit more complicated however. The same element may contain varying numbers of neutrons; elements that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neurons are called isotopes. Oxygen, with atomic number of 8, for example, can have 8, 9, or 10 neutrons.", "This makes bones really brittle because we lack both flexible cartilage and sturdy bone. Men also have denser bones than women of the same size. The direction of the force makes a difference too. Find a bone picture or model and look at the long bones of the arms and legs.", "Grass is green because it contains a chemical called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll allows the plant to absorb energy from sunlight but not all of the energy. Because sunlight is actually composed of many colors, plants absorb energy from most all of the other colors except green and a few others--but mostly green.", "Are you referring to Koolaid in the granular form?If so the koolaid grains sink in water because the grains have a greater density than that of water. Once your stir the grains dissolve and go into solution where they remain because the dissolved koolaid is miscible with water unlike oil (floats) or gasoline (sinks).", "The borders between cells, or cell membranes, are not perfect seals.

To understand how antiseptic (i.e. antibacterial) soaps work, well first look at how soap functions in general.", "Question Date: 2017-10-22. \nAnswer 1: Dissolving is a process where solvent molecules surround other molecules, which causes the solid to become uniformly dispersed in a solution. In your example, salt ions in a solid are slowly surrounded by water molecules. This happens through the collision of molecules, where solvent molecules collide with salt ions in the solid, and slowly eat away at the block of solid .", "All fruits contain seeds (so tomatoes and zucchinis are fruits, not vegetables).

Ion pumps pack potassium (K+) into nerve cells and throw sodium (Na+) out, so both will move in opposite directions when the gates open. When the sodium gates open, sodium rushes in. This makes the cell more positive.", "In all the American wars there have been 651,008 Battle Deaths; and about 1.2million deaths during service in war time.About 42 million people have served in the military during wartime. About 1/50th of the people serving during a time of war have died.", "But all these motions are occuring at the same time...so really the moon like the earth is going around the sun at the same time the earth moves about the sun, at the same time the sun moves around the center of the MILKY WAY, at the same time the milky way galaxy moves apart from other galaxies, as part of the expansion due to the big bang.", "Oceans store a large amount of heat, so small changes in ocean currents can have a large effect on coastal and global climate as they carry enormous amounts of heat north and south. \nAnswer 4: Ocean currents move warm and cold bodies of water around.", "It may be that when you see red the color in your brain is more like the one that I call purple. This is hard to determine because it is based on how your brain works, and we know very little about how the brain works. But most people can see the full range of light wavelengths and see how they differ.", "Weight is defined as the product of a body's mass and the gravitational acceleration in which the mass is located. (Weight = Mass x Gravity) What this means is that your weight depends on both your mass (which doesn't change) and the gravitation force of the place you are located.", "Well, shoot. For most cell types there is what is called a \"restriction point\" in the cell cycle. Prior to this point the cells might maintain a sort of status quo if, for example, the environment is unfavorable for growth.", "Question Date: 1997-11-14. \nAnswer 1: Light is an electromagnetic wave. What that means is that it is an oscillating electric and magnetic field. An electric field, is what causes the attraction between a positive and a negative charge. A magnetic field cause the attraction between the North and South poles of a magnet.", "One commonly cited example is say you find an increase of death by drownings and ice cream sales. It would be incorrect to infer that eating more ice cream causes more drownings, or vice versa. The lurking variable that can explain both is hot weather (i.e., people eat more ice cream and go swimming more to cool down).", "Currents flow in complex patterns affected by wind, the water's salinity and heat content, bottom topography, and the earth's rotation. Surface water movement takes place in the form of currents. Currents move ocean water horizontally at the ocean's surface. Surface currents are driven mainly by the wind.", "Good question. The answer seems to be that there are small moons orbiting ringed planets at or near the distance from the planets as the rings themselves, and that these moons are needed to keep the rings from flying apart. So, basically, having enough moons the right distance from the planet makes rings possible.", "Question Date: 2013-11-21. \nAnswer 1: Buoyancy is an upward force caused by the pressure from a displaced fluid. It is the force that causes wood and boats to float in water and the reason why objects feel lighter when submerged in water. In a gravitational field, the pressure at the bottom of a fluid is higher than at the top (because of the weight of the fluid above it, as in air or water pressure).", "ATP is a molecule that contains three phosphates, and the bond between two of the phosphates contains a lot of energy. Your cells use the energy released from an energy-releasing chemical reaction to produce ATP (by joining the molecule ADP with another phosphate molecule).", "According to Einstein, who based his work on an Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, this would result in a completely new form of matter. Albert Einstein speculated that when molecules stop moving, the atoms would fall together and merge into one atom.", "This energy release causes a much worse burn than if the same amount of boiling water were to hit your skin where it would decrease in temperature (to your skins temperature) but would not have to go through a phase change.", "So, light has no rest mass, but it does have momentum and energy-- it can be measured by sensitive balances or by the diameter of stars! \nAnswer 5: Most people believe that light has no mass but it is still a good idea to check.", "Anything less than 32 feet tall will hold - unless of course the pressure of the water at the bottom of the container is enough to rupture the container (14.7 lbs/sq. inch, or 100 KPa, is a lot of pressure for most containers!). \nAnswer 2: It's great to see how interested in science you are over the summer.

There are bacteria that can use that, and that's how nitrogen gets into the soil in the first place, but the plants still need the soil. \nAnswer 4:", "My guess would be that the higher thermal conductivity of the freshwater will melt the ice more quickly regardless of convection. But I think the best way to find out is to run an experiment. Measure out a quantity of salt and water and combine them.", "Now at any given moment, there are several pounds per square inch of pressure on your body and on just about everything you see in the room. The reason why you do not implode under the pressure is because there is like pressure pushing outwards from the air everywhere else.", "This effect controls the temperature of the Earth so that it is within the range in which life is possible: add more energy in,the water cycle just dumps it right back out. Also,water is a greenhouse gas (much more powerful than carbon dioxide), and this keeps the Earth from getting too cold.", "They have slow-moving waters and support woody plants, such as mangroves or cypress trees. Marshes on the other hand have the same water source but have softer, non-woody plants. Bogs are characterized by peats, left overs of dead plant material.", "The reaction of baking soda and vinegar (the former being sodium bicarbonate and the latter a solution of acetic acid and water) is spontaneous, meaning the products (here, sodium acetate, water, and CO 2) are lower in energy than the reactants (sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid), meaning the forward reaction is favored.", "This is the type of memory that suffers most when we get older. Unfortunately, this is also the type of memory that we depend on most in our daily lives. The other form of memory is long term memory.

In other words, some kind of signal must go from the leaves to the tips of the shoots, though the exact nature of this signal was a mystery.", "The function of the folds in mitochondria is to increase the surface area. This inner folded part of the mitochondria (the inner membrane) is responsible for cell respiration (the process of breaking down carbohydrates (sugars) to make energy). Part of cell respiration happens by transferring molecules across the inner membrane, so by adding folds, a longer piece of membrane can be stuffed inside the mitochondria.", "The south sides of trees get more sunlight, so water evaporates faster there. Mosses need a lot of water for two reasons. One is that they're not\"vascular\" plants --that means that they don't have the plant version of a circulatory system, and they can't move water around inside their bodies.", "The Mesozoic era, commonly called \"the age of the dinosaurs\" lasted from 250 to 65 million years ago.

That's about 60 million years between people and dinosaurs!", "A person looking up at the moon from the earth's surface would see only the half of the moon that is in shadow. \nAnswer 3: The moon appears to us to have different phases because as it rotates around the earth, different parts of it are lit up by the sun. We only see the part of the moon that the sun is shining on.", "Now, why this phenomenon happens is a little more complicated, and has to do with the intermolecular forces between CO 2 molecules. CO 2 is a non-polar molecule, and the molecules are attracted to each other only by a very weak force called the \"van der Waals\" force.", "Well, horses have lost all but their middle digit.

These are just dark clouds in space that are thick enough to see. It is so cold in space that the dust slowly comes together and after millions or billions of years the dust is so dense that the temperature causes it to undergo nuclear reaction and a star is formed. \nAnswer 3:", "Because ice is a crystal, which means it has a regular pattern with spaces in between molecules. The spaces in the crystal are larger than the spaces between molecules in the liquid. More space = less dense, so ice is less dense than water.", "Most climatologists rely on computer models to predict weather at different levels of CO 2, and most of them assume an approximate 4-foldamplification of any change in climate caused by changing CO 2 levels as a result of a corresponding change in the level of water vapor.", "It is based on the same principle as “computer-aided tomography” or CAT-scans, which are commonly used in medicine to image the insides of people’s bodies. Seismic tomography is possible because seismic waves travel at different speeds through different material.", "Most of the time, we determine weight using a scale which measures the force of gravity on our body. But we report that as a mass, even though the scale was actually telling us a force, not a mass. The scale tells us a mass because it converts the force into a mass.", "This is because the sinking of the seafloor into the mantle that happens at the edges of the Pacific Ocean essentially pulls the seafloor apart in the middle of the ocean. Where the seafloor is pulled apart, a gap or rift is created, and this rift is immediately filled in by melted mantle which wells up below the rift.", "Photosynthesis needs water, carbon dioxide, chlorophyll, light, and the right temperature. Light is an extremely important factor for the process. If there is enough water, carbon dioxide, and the temperature is right, light becomes the factor which will affect photosynthesis. Most of the time, when the intensity of light is high, you will get a a greater rate of photosynthesis.", "You could set the dial to low, medium or high and measure the temperature. So your independent variable could take on the values low, medium or high. But the temperature could take on many values and if you repeated the experiment multiple times, you would find that the temperature would be slightly different every time.", "If you think of a bunch of water molecules trying to hold up a boat, they're pushing against the boat to keep it on top of the water.

Membrane structure determines which ions and how much of them cross the membrane.", "It is more dense because the molecules are closer together and they are closer together because the bonds are absorbing less energy and therefore do not move as much. Hope that helps! \nAnswer 2: You are exactly right. The molecules in hot air are moving faster than the molecules in cold air.", "For example, if you get a frying pan really hot and then sprinkle water onto the surface, the water beads up and jumps around the pan as opposed to just evaporating on the spot. This is because as the water hits the hot pan, there is some vaporization of the liquid drop which creates a cushion of gas below the drop.", "A nucleus of an atom usually contains protons, which are particles with a positive charge, and neutrons, which are particles that are neutrally charged (no charge). On the other hand, in biology, the nucleus of a cell is many times larger than the nucleus of an atom.", "The vein is made of connective tissue that is bluish white.

Many atoms almost always take the same oxidation state. Iron just doesn't. The reason for this, simply put, is that iron's place in the periodic table puts it in a group of elements called transition metals.", "The main kinds of organisms that have cell walls are plants, fungi, and certain prokaryotes (bacterial type cells). In plants, cell walls are mainly comprised of complex polysaccharides (sugar-based polymers) molecules such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin.", "Playing around with liquid nitrogen is a pretty dangerous thing and I wouldn't recommend actually coming into direct contact with it! (A safer alternative might be to ask your science teacher to make ice cream using liquid nitrogen to rapidly cool down cream and milk ... very tasty.)", "The effect of this is that the higher latitudes (England, for example) would become much colder because no warm surface water would be brought to the poles and the lower latitudes (around the equator) would become warmer because there would be no upwelling of cold water.

Just like how we have a brain to control our movements, emotions, and our body, cells have a nucleus to control its functions, like cell growth and reproduction.", "In addition to its natural importance, there are a lot of engineering uses for water's high heat capacity as well. This is how an automobile radiator keeps the engine from melting itself: the water takes heat out of the engine, and then dumps it outside of the vehicle.", "People have also produced salt from natural spring water in big evaporation pools. These evaporation pools will form salt by allowing water to evaporate, which leaves behind sodium and chlorine (just like evaporating ocean water to form sea salt).", "However, if we instead place the cork in water, it will now \"float\" because the cork is less dense than the water. Hence we can see that the buoyant force exerted on the object depends on the density of the fluid. Let's now imagine that the cork was made out of lead instead of wood.", "Now, since as we said, the heat capacity and the mass of foil are both small, this means that the foil will change temperature by a lot. On the other side, the heat capacity and mass of your hand are both large, so the temperature change of your hand will be smaller.", "Raccoons would be closely related to other members of the procyonidae family, such as olingos and ringtails. Raccoons are more closely related to otters and weasels than pandas, and it is believed that pandas and raccoons shared their last common ancestor about 40 million years ago.", "He tried in 1923, but did not find it. He tried again in 1928, with no success. In 1930, the German physicists Walther Bothe and Herbert Becker noticed something odd. When they shot alpha rays at beryllium (atomic number 4) the beryllium emitted a neutral radiation that could penetrate 200 millimeters of lead.", "In brief, I would answer your question by saying that populations of humans have evolved traits that make them suited to their environment, but we have not evolved into different races or even different sub-species. Rather each human is a different expression of the same set of genes, with some expressions more common based on geographical location.", "One thing to keep in mind is that heat capacity is based on the mass of a material and not its volume. That is to say, given the same amount of heat added, the same mass of saltwater will heat faster than freshwater. If you want to compare the same volume, then you need to know the densities.", "This type of energy release often occurs when chemical bonds (bonds between atoms) are broken or formed or when nuclear bonds (bonds within atoms) are broken or formed. When this energy is released as light, the matter that is reacting loses some of its mass, as Einstein predicted, demonstrating the conversion of matter to energy.", "Birds and other animals might also try to eat acorns, carrying them away from the tree in the process. Birds, such as the blue jay, can carry acorns especially long distances since they can fly. So it seems likely that the most important mechanism of seed dispersal for all three of these plants is transport by animals.", "A highly myelinated nerve cell can send a signal at up to 120 meters per second, or nearly 270 miles per hour, quite a bit faster than an airplane taking off! These quick speeds are the basis for everything the nervous system does, from making sense of what your eyes see to deciding what you're going to have for lunch.", "Thank you for submitting your question.When copper is mixed with nitric acid a red/ox reaction occurs.

It is a very interesting subject because viruses and bacteria can be very sneaky!!!!! \nAnswer 2: There are many ways that bacteria can enter your body. All they need is an opening!", "Most compounds show three phases when cooling at a constant, room pressure (i.e. water), but sometimes compounds like carbon dioxide skip the liquid phase altogether and transition directly to a solid when cooled. This is because the pressure at normal atmosphere is too low for carbon dioxide to condense to a liquid.", "This is because there is less air (lower pressure) at high elevations. At lower pressures, water boils at lower temperatures, so it takes longer to cook food! If the pressure is low enough, water-ice (H O) will also sublime. Dry ice (CO 2) works the same way.", "Well, to answer this, a shorter wavelength means greater energy. This is important because if you look at the spectrum, blue photons have more eery than red photons so the blue star generates more energy and more heat than the red. To answer simply, the red stars are lower in temperature than the blue stars.", "This phenomenon can be explained by looking at a type of graph that is known as a Phase Diagram. Phase diagrams are graphs that show what physical states (solid, liquid, or gas) a certain type of matter will exist in at a given pressure and temperature. The link below shows a phase diagram for water.", "There are many biochemical ways to detect gas exchange and metabolic processes. And finally, we can detect cell division microscopically as well. Some types of human cells can be kept alive in a culture dish, at least for a while, if provided with the right nutrients and conditions (as well as proper temperature).", "For every 100g wet plankton, there are 20g when dried. So: 0.003Cal/mg dry *1000mg dry/1g dry * 20g dry/100g wet = 0.6 Calories/gram. Calories is actually a measure of energy. \nAnswer 3: I think that you are asking how many nutritional calories an animal would consume when eating a certain amount of phytoplankton.", "If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion.

According to Le Chatleir, the equilibrium should shift in a manner to reduce an applied stress. The dissociation reaction above is endothermic, meaning that it requires energy to move forward.", "Now the compressional waves on the other hand actually slow down. That is because liquid is much less compressible than the material above partially molten rock. Now from understanding how energy waves travel through materials we can estimate at what speed will compressional waves move through different materials.", "3. The first practical train engine was built by Richard Trevithick in England in about 1803 -- earlier efforts had not have sufficient power to pull any sizeable loads. His engine was high pressure (about 150psi). (Rail tracks for carts originated in the middle ages for mines and other applications).", "I guarantee that you will also miss several species. Thanks for asking. \nAnswer 3: Scientists are trying to figure out how to count the number of species within a population.

But back to the squid.", "Because bacteria are very small, they can even come in through very small openings, such as the pores of your skin! Your body has a lot of defenses to keep the bad bacteria from coming in too far through these openings. However, sometimes the bacteria can come in past the defenses.", "So, the temperature depends on the time. So, the temperature is dependent, and the time is independent. If you're looking at a graph, the independent variable is generally on the horizontal axis. Also, when you're looking at an equation, the independent variable is usually on the side that has other numbers and arithmetic.", "This means there's no way to get oxygen to your brain, heart, or other cells and those cells start to die. The chemical reactions that stop happening when there's no oxygen are the ones that make ATP, the form of energy that all of our cells use. You can't see, smell, or taste CO, so it's very dangerous.", "I have a worksheet that asks how to determine the mass of a certain amount of atoms and the equivalents and how many atoms are in certain amounts of elements. I just really don't get it and I was wondering if you could please give me a few examples. Thanks!", "Cheers, \nAnswer 4: We have a fraction of the *power* of the sun in our solar system. Power is energy expended over time. The sun continually emits more energy, thus having a certain level of power. The power reaching the Earth is a fraction of that, the power taken up by plants is less still, and the power that we take from plants is even less still, but yes, it is a fraction of the sun's power.", "Gravity is what holds us down on the earth's (or moon's) surface. If you were to weigh yourself on a scale on Earth and then on the moon, the weight read on the moon would be 1/6 your earth weight. To figure out how much YOU would weigh on the moon, take your weight and divide it by 6.", "The reason why meteors usually burn up in the mesosphere is because the air in the mesosphere is dense enough that the meteor's moving through it creates a lot of heat (unlike the ionosphere ), but the meteor doesn't survive long enough to reach the even denser stratosphere, let alone the denser yet troposphere.", "Anyway, dry ice is much, much colder because carbon dioxide freezes at a lower temperature:-79 degrees Celsius or -109 degrees Fahrenheit! It's very dangerous to handle dry ice because it will freeze your skin and cause frost bite in less than a minute, causing a painful \"dry ice burn\".", "Question Date: 2015-04-26. \nAnswer 1: Thank you for the question. Rubbing alcohol consists mainly of ethanol or isopropanol. Ethanol and isopropanol boil at a lower temperature than water, which generally means that they will evaporate quicker than water.", "Some of them don't go through liquid at all (the S waves).

In simpler terms, heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food, therefore they eat other organisms that CAN produce their own food.", "Even if the Earth somehow miraculously survived such an explosion, we could not survive the aftermath. Almost all of the energy which allows things to happen on Earth can ultimately be traced back to the Sun. If there were no Sun, the Earth would be much too cold for most life to survive.", "Question Date: 2015-05-13. \nAnswer 1: All living things have DNA.

Grass, like other plants, are generally a green color (although plants can have many colors...the bark on trees, the color of some leaves in the fall, etc.).", "For example, there has to be a certain amount of calcium in the circulating blood. Too much or too little can upset the whole system. If the cancer is affecting many of the bones in the body, then a lot of calcium is released into the blood stream. Normally the body has mechanisms to fight this sort of imbalance.", "Because the ocean water molecules stick together, this caused the entire ocean to bulge outward in the center, creating a kind of \"mound\" of water encircling the earth. Because of this, the world's oceans bulge around the equator, and get thinner toward the poles.", "This is an interesting question. Identical twins are called \"monozygotic\" -- mono = 1, zygote = the initial cell when two gametes are combined (egg + sperm). So identical twins come from one zygote that splits into two embryos. Fraternal twins, on the other hand, are called \"dizygotic.\".", "So far, astronomers have detected 19 planets around 17 other stars, which is about 4% of the stars that have been studied.

Molecules can also rotate about a fixed axis. It is worth noting that molecules can absorb energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation that they convert into kinetic energy (atomic motion).", "One of those gases was water vapor. Eventually the earth cooled and the water condensed and rained down on the earth.. The water filled up the low places and became the oceans. The salts that are in the oceans came from the weathering and eroding of the the land while it was raining so much.", "Then c was calculated to be 315,000 km/s. Leon Foucault improved on this a year later by using rotating mirrors and got the much more accurate answer of 298,000 km/s.

If you've ever seen a grandfather clock, you've probably seen the weight mechanism: hanging from the main mechanism of the clock are weights on chains; as the pulley swings, the weights slowly lower and transfer their potential energy to the pendulum, keeping it swinging.", "Then, let the room cool, the mirror to clear (do not wipe off), and run the experiment with cold water first on for some specified length of time, followed by hot water. Again, measure the time it took from the moment you turned on the hot water, till you saw the first fog on the mirror.", "To make things a little simpler, think of ATP as having 4 parts: the A (adenosine) and 3 P's (the phosphates). The energy is not stored in the A or the P's, but in the BONDS between the molecules. An ATP is kind of like a charged battery.", "There are two types of cell divisions our cells undergo: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is regular cell division in which the copied cells, or daughter cells, are exactly alike with the same DNA. Meiosis is cell division for gametes, or reproductive cells (sperm and egg). We have 23 pairs of chromosomes (which contain our DNA), so 46 in total.", "Question Date: 2003-03-21. \nAnswer 1: Liquid nitrogen is very, very cold. At everyday temperatures, nitrogen is a gas. In fact, most of the air we breathe is nitrogen. It becomes a liquid at a temperature of -320.8 degrees Fahrenheit. In other words, almost 321 degrees below 0!", "Energy can be harnessed from the wind, or from the solar energy of the sun. Another way to create energy is by harnessing the energy released by the combination of two atoms of heavy elements, or \"nuclear fission\". This energy can be used to heat water to generate electricity.", "Now, if this radiation hits some other stuff, the reverse process can happen: the electromagnetic radiation hits the electrons in some material, and that makes the electrons vibrate, which makes the atoms vibrate, which makes the material hotter.", "There are other ways to measure temperature because the amount that molecules and atoms jiggle also affects other things - for example, how well metals conduct electricity. So by measuring how much electricity passes through wires made of certain materials, you can tell how hot the wires are.", "The green pigment is able to harvest the light energy, and use this energy to change carbon dioxide plus water into sugars that both pants and people eat! \nAnswer 2: That is a very cool question. To understand it we need to know why anything that isn't giving off light has color.", "In our example, the diameter of the balloon would be about 18 3/4 inches initially and the reduction of diameter would be only about 5/8 inch when it cools down to 20F. One thing you can do now that winter is approaching is the actual experiment.", "As an aside, if you go up to even higher frequency, you get a lot of signal loss when using copper wires due to driving a lot of current through a very thin skin. What people often do instead is to again use a hollow tube. But now, they let the wave travel inside the tube. This is known as waveguide.", "There is no aspirin in Pepto-Bismol, but the active ingredient in Pepto Bismol is a non-aspirin salicylate. Salicylates are commonly used as flavoring agents in food (like wintergreen), and this is what gives Pepto Bismol its \"minty\" taste. \nAnswer 2: The active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol contains bismuth.", "The study of land plants is called botany and the study of algae is called phycology.

A lot of cells die because they get old and need to be replaced by new cells.", "Question Date: 2016-09-28. \nAnswer 1: The moon rotates about its axis in the same direction as the Earth. If you are standing in the northern hemisphere (like Santa Barbara, or the North Pole), the Earth is rotating to the left.", "So if you look for potassium (symbol K in the periodic table), you will find that it has the atomic number of 19. This tells you that potassium has 19 protons and - since the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons- also 19 electrons.", "First, by dissolving the cellulose found in the cell walls of plants and then re-forming it into thread. This is the source of Rayon. Since cellulose is the primary constituent of all but the wool fibers noted above, we are just re-inventing the wheel. Second, by synthesizing cellulose-like molecules from oil.", "As the moon completes its rotation about the earth in 27.5 days, it also completes one single rotation around its own axis.

The relation between acceleration and force gives the clue about how to measure a force. Most instruments which measure mass do so by measuring the effective force of the object due to gravity.", "The more particles you can dissolve in the liquid water, the more you decrease its freezing point. Consequently, a mixture of 20% NaCl and liquid water will have a lower freezing point (2 degrees Fahrenheit) than a mixture of 10% NaCl and liquid water (20 degrees Fahrenheit).", "Actually, it does get hot. In fact, if you wrap a potato in aluminum foil and put it in a hot over, the foil will get hot first. This is because metals like aluminum are very good conductors of heat, so they absorb heat very quickly. When you pull out the potato, the same property of being a good heat conductor makes sure that the foil cools down very fast.", "Say the balloon's volume was 2 cubic feet when its temperature is 73F.

Another insect also found in this phylum is the fruit fly. They are small brown flies with red eyes that you may have seen flying around fruit in the kitchen. The important thing about fruit flies is that scientists know a lot about these insects genome.", "Chlorophyll-a has a specific chemical structure that absorbs red and blue light more than green (which, by the way, is why plants look green: the green light is reflected rather than absorbed ). Red, especially, is absorbed. Here are some guidelines for interpreting your results.", "Question Date: 2004-04-13. \nAnswer 1: It is, in fact, possible to combine hydrogen and oxygen to make water, but it's a little tricky. Oxygen is usually present as O 2 (two oxygen atoms bonded together), so in order to make water (H2O) the two oxygen atoms in O2 must break apart, and that takes extra energy. This energy can come from a couple places.", "This new production of energy has atoms moving so fast that they no longer collapse under the force of gravity, leaving the star in an equilibrium between the force of gravity due to all of its mass and the force being produced by the atoms bouncing around with so much energy.", "Write down a list of everything you ate for lunch and figure out where that food came from.

The beef came from cows, which eat plants.", "My geology book tells me: gold was carried toward the Earth's surface from great depths by geologic activity, often with other metals as a solid solution within molten rock. After this solid solution cooled, its gold content was spread through such a great volume of rock that large fragments were unusual.", "For instance Mercury is thought to have a large iron core with a thinner silicon (rocky) crust (compared to Earth which has a small iron core with a large silicon crust). This may be because heavier elements like iron & nickel were concentrated towards the inner part of the early Solar System when it was still condensing.", "A hurricane is a storm in the atmosphere; a tsunami is a huge tidal wave in the ocean, caused by a large under thrusting earthquake. They are entirely different phenomena. Both have the potential to be very damaging.", "Two principal mining methods, placer and vein mining, can obtain gold. It is often a by-product of the mining of other metals. In placer mining, freely occurring gold is found in deposits of sand and gravel from which it can be easily separated by simple physical methods.", "And why is the average temperature of the earth getting colder?

Jello also contains sugar, flavoring, and coloring agents. Like all protein, gelatin is made up of amino acids, the individual building blocks of live. Gelatin is insoluble in water, but individual amino acids are not, they are soluble.", "This is actually not a simple question to answer. Things reflect because of a combination of things, including their refractive index, how smooth the surface is, and finally, in the case of metals, and mirrors, because there are electrons in the material that are free.", "So by looking at the seismic waves from earthquakes the scientist learned about the crust and the mantle but they also learned about the outer and inner core. To do this you have to look at a different kind of waves, the S (secondary waves) waves that also get released by an earthquake. These S waves are slower.", "The outside air pressure decreases as the balloon floats higher up in the air (assuming stagnant air and constant temperature). This can be explained by the following example: when you're swimming from the bottom of a pool up to the surface the water pressure decreases when you get to the surface of the water.", "There are also decomposers. A decomposer is an organism of decay. These are also called saprobes. They break down the remains of dead animals and plants (producer or a consumer), releasing the substances that can be used by other members of the ecosystem, turning them back into soil.", "The answer is yes and no. In birds, both liquid and solid waste leave the cloaca (located on the butt). Birds have a urinary tract, but it is combined with solid waste before being released. So, birds urinate, but it is mixed with solid waste and removed at the same time.", "The word luster is used to describe the way a mineral's surface reflects light. Be careful, though! Some surfaces are shiny because we polish them and not because they look that way naturally. Glass is naturally shiny because it is composed of the mineral quartz (very common in beach sand) which has a shiny luster.", "Eubacteria are also single-celled, and this is the group that holds most of the bacteria in the world. This includes all of the ones that cause disease (anthrax, meningitis, strep throat) as well as all of the beneficial ones that live on us, in us, in the soil, and all over the place.", "The outer core is liquid because the temperature is so high that the iron melts. Although the inner core is even hotter than the outer core, it's solid because the pressure is so high that it squeezes the atoms together so much that it turns into a solid.", "The independent variable would be whether you give the drug to someone or not, as this is under your control.

Sperm contains the other half of the code, and when the egg is fertilized, there is enough genetic code to produce a fetus. The human reproductive cycle has differentiated sexual organs and functions for the two biological genders.", "Fire is just very rapid oxidation. Heat rises, and makes currents of air that circulate as the hot air rises - that is why flames appear to dance and move around. Fire needs oxygen to burn, and it needs fuel; for something to \"burst into flames\" it needs to be at a high enough temperature.", "Aluminum is much more common in the earth's crust than gold (8% of Earth's crust), so it is cheaper to produce. Iron (another cheaper one) makes up 5% of Earth's crust.

Rusting is the process of iron being oxidized in the presence of water to a mixture of iron oxides and hydroxides. \nAnswer 2:", "However, the difference is that the tree is still alive and can regenerate the branches. To recap, wood that is attached to a tree is alive. However, wood that is separated from the tree is dead. I hope this explanation helps! Wood is not alive in the same way that a chicken bone is not alive after the chicken is dead.", "A week later in the moon's orbit, the moon and Earth are about equally far from the sun.

Some scientists think that different groups of viruses evolved independently, maybe some even came from eukaryotic cells, and some from bacterial cells.", "The important part of the force is air resistance, also called drag. The drag force is proportional to the speed of the object, because the faster the object is moving, the more air molecules it will bump into, slowing it down. But this force is not affected by the mass of the object.", "Objects in the Solar System generally speaking are moving with respect to each-other at tens of kilometers per second, and the speed of light is three-hundred thousand kilometers per second. You need to be going a significant fraction of the speed of light for time dilation to be important.", "One is temperature; the temperature of Mars on long polar nights hits -180 F which is way too cold for any human to survive. Another reason is that there is a thin layer protecting Mars which means more carbon dioxide and less oxygen levels, and also it is protected against radiation.", "Because the Pacific plate is denser than the Okhotsk plate, it dives down into the Earth along what is called a \"subduction zone\". As the Pacific plate subducts beneath the Okhotsk Plate, friction between the two causes them to lock against each other.", "My sons junior high science teacher Mr. Winn asked a lot of questions like that.

However, genetic diseases can cause red blood cells to be made incorrectly, so that there is a specific type of damage to all the red blood cells.", "When we see the color of an object, what we are really seeing is the light that has reflected off of the objects surface. What happens is this: white light (the normal ambient light which is a mixture of several different wavelengths of light included visible light which we see as color) shines on a surface. The surface will then absorb some of the wavelengths of light and reflect the rest.", "The implications of this for cells is that all nutrients have to pass through their cell membrane which is only on the surface.

When the air is high on the mountain, it spreads out. This is like your big square. The same amount of heat is now in a bigger space, so it is more spread out.", "For example, sometimes before a thunderstorm you feel that the air is really “sticky” or “humid”, that is because there is a lot of water in the air. Or, when you boil water, there is steam (very small water drops) that come out from the water and that disappear in the air. The water is not gone. It is just ‘in’ the air.", "So for a full grown human, there are certainly cells that are more important to keeping a human alive, but ultimately they all play an important part.

Some countries are beginning to use the ocean for drinking water, constructing large desalinization plants to remove the salt from the seawater.", "A squid can squirt ink from its ink-containing organ instead of water. \nAnswer 3: Great question! Squids and other cephalopods, such as octopi and cuttlefish, use ink to confuse their predators and thereby escape from them. The ink itself is contained in an ink sac, which is a muscular pouch that lies beneath the gut.", "You can do experiments to see how water affects fabrics. 1.Look at the fabric labels to see whether they are cotton or polyester or wool or other fibers or 'blends' of different fibers. 2. Then put drops of water on the different fabrics and see how water interacts with them.", "Question Date: 2005-03-03. \nAnswer 1: The type of minerals that form depend first on the basic chemical material that is available. For instance, it you have lots of iron and sulfur around, you would get different minerals than if you have mostly silicon and oxygen available.", "The sperm are vented out into the sea water and then brought into the animal to fertilize the eggs. The embryos develop inside the adult to a free-swimming larval stage which is released into the sea water, swims around a while, and then settles on a surface and metamorphoses into an adult.", "Question Date: 2012-12-07. \nAnswer 1: All living things need water to stay alive, and plants are living things! Plants, however, need much more water than many living things because plants use much more water than most animals. Plants also contain more water than animals - plants are about 90% water. The amount of water a plant needs depends on the type of plant, how much light the plant gets, and how old the plant is.", "The Earth is an example of a planet and orbits the sun, which is a star. A star is usually defined as a body of gas which is large enough and dense enough that the heat and crushing pressure at its center produces nuclear fusion. This is a fancy way of saying that it glows or burns, like our sun.", "Leaf pores on plants open up to allow photosynthesis during the daytime and close at night to reduce water loss. Plants also respond to ultraviolet light by producing a substance that is essentially a sunscreen so that they do not get sunburned. Plants can sense weather changes and temperatures as well.", "This might seem like a pretty good thing. Finding a bathroom can be inconvenient. However, fiber is actually very important in our diet. It helps keep cholesterol low, it helps control blood sugar, it keeps us from over-eating, and it keeps our digestive systems healthy.", "And keep asking questions! \nAnswer 3: A protein meshwork is fist made, and cells then deposit calcium phosphate on the meshwork. This is similar to the way bones are made. Chickens are often fed oyster shell as a rich source of calcium in their diet - this results in harder egg shells.", "These sets of bones are what is left of the whale's hind legs and feet! These sets of bones are called \"vestigial hind limbs\". \nAnswer 2: Yes, this is actually true! It sounds a little bit unreal but of course these whales looked quite different from the whales we know nowadays.", "Question Date: 2018-01-04. \nAnswer 1: Liquid water is not itself wet, but can make other solid materials wet. Wetness is the ability of a liquid to adhere to the surface of a solid, so when we say that something is wet, we mean that the liquid is sticking to the surface of a material. Whether an object is wet or dry depends on a balance between cohesive and adhesive forces.", "Hawaii has cinder cones and scientists suggested that some volcanoes on Mars might be cinder cones. \nAnswer 2: Cinder cones may form along diverging plate boundaries, near or behind the volcanic front along converging plate boundaries and ALSO at intra plate (no plate boundary) locations called hotspots such as Hawaii.", "Question Date: 2013-05-07. \nAnswer 1: Objects can have color two ways: they can either reflect light or emit light.

Without photosynthesis there would be no supply of oxygen and slowly the oxygen would get used up by oxidation such as rust formation. Furthermore, by removing plants, all of the many many animals that depend on plants would get very very hungry and gradually die. \nAnswer 2:", "3. A sphere has the lowest energy when the strongest force is uniform in all directions, like gravity is. For example, if Earth was rough, with mountains 1000 miles high, any rockslides or weathering would remove material from the mountains and fill in the valleys.", "On the other hand, frog species that live near permanent streams can take longer, maybe a month or more. Development time depends on evolution (i.e., it varies between species), but can also depend on environment (i.e., it varies within a single species).", "There are a lot of ways to make a non-neutral atom, though.

The \"dust\" clumped together to form the planets.", "Fire is what we call the heat and light produced when things burn. Magnesium reacts with oxygen to make a compound called magnesium oxide. 2Mg + O 2 ---> 2MgO. The bright light results because this reaction produces a lot of heat.", "So now, we need to talk more about light: we were talking about one ball hitting the wall, while light is more like a lot of balls of different size hitting the wall at the same time. Because balls are of different size, some of them will be mostly bounded back, while others may be mostly stuck in the wall.", "Although it is true that you have deoxygenated blood in your body, it is not the reason why your veins appear blue - your blood is NEVER really actually blue.

These damaged cells are removed from circulation by the spleen, and most of the leftover compounds, such as iron, are recycled to form new red blood cells.", "This means they absorb more light. Energy from light striking an object is transferred to the molecules in the object. This extra energy excites electrons in the object's molecules and when the electrons \"fall back down\" to their \"ground states\" the energy is released in the form of infrared light, or heat.", "Alcohol groups in sugars behave the same way, because they are made of the same two elements as water. When a crystal of sugar is placed into water (Kool-Aid is mostly water), the oxygens in the water begin interacting with the hydrogens in the sugar, and the hydrogens in the water interact with the oxygens in the sugar.", "You can make water boil, however, by putting it in a vacuum! Boiling is the process of a substance changing from liquid to gas phase. You can make water do this at room temperature by putting it in a heavy container and removing all the air - putting it in zero air pressure - then the water comes out of liquid phase and changes into gas phase! Substances like hydrogen, methane gas, and carbon dioxide, which are found on earth as gases, are found on the outer planets like Saturn as ices.", "Question Date: 2005-05-03. \nAnswer 1: To understand how kelp became members of the Protista, one must delve into the convoluted and messy history of systematics.

It is thus possible to make a local measurement of that acceleration.", "How does this happen? Well, minerals are borne in soil moisture (groundwater). These tend to precipitate out of the groundwater in open spaces. If, by example, you bury a tree, the cells lose their contents but the cell walls may remain for a long time before rotting.", "In fact, many people say that nuclear energy is much more environmentally friendly than the alternative (and more widely used) fossil-fuel routes of energy production, because the controlled nuclear reactions produce much less harmful gases than reactions of fossil fuels.", "There are many types of dynamometers, but the one most used in the general physics lab is the spring dynamometer. A spring deforms reversibly, and its deformation (elongation or contraction) is directly proportional to the force applied. If k is the spring constant, then F (Newton) = k (Newton/meter) * x (meter).", "And, working backwards, if someone gives you 50 pennies and asks you how many dollars you have, you can probably do this in your head, but let's write it out for the sake of illustrating the point: 50 pennies x 1 dollar/100 pennies = 50/100 = 0.5 dollar.

Go to Pluto, however, and you might find your oxygen turning to a liquid.", "Sharing heat energy between the stuff and its surroundings can cause a change in the phase of the stuff from solid to liquid, or the other way around. The amount and shape of the stuff affects how quickly the heat energy spreads, while the type of stuff determines how much heat energy is needed for a change in phase.", "In general, the more light an object absorbs, the more heat absorbed since light is energy. Black absorbs the most heat. A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and reflects none. Objects that are white, on the other hand, reflect all wavelengths of light and therefore absorb the least heat.", "This floating effect in a less dense medium is called a buoyant force or a displacement force. We can model what I just said with a little physics. Consider the air to be an ideal gas (this is a good approximation which neglects the interaction of air molecules with each other).", "Scientists (and actually, everyone) have struggled since the dawn of history trying to pin down exactly what \"life\" is, and where to put the line between life and non-life. There's still no perfect answer, since things like complex viruses or specialized computer programs still tend to muddy the waters.", "Since distance is more important in determining gravitational force, the force between the Sun and a person on the surface of the Earth is much smaller than gravitational force the Earth exerts on that person. It is so small (only 0.06% of the force from the Earth) that you would never notice it in every day life.", "Back on the ice, you have been skating for one second, and the bottle is now moving at one meter per second. If you continue applying the same, gentle one Newton of force, at the end of two seconds the bottle will be moving at two meters per second.", "For example, a harmless moth might look like a dangerous wasp. A tasty butterfly may look like one that is full of nasty toxins. The animal is not protected by hiding, it is protected by being mistaken for something a predator will avoid because it’s dangerous or tastes bad.", "By the way -- although it is true that cats are colorblind (as we understand color) they have much better night vision. Ducks, by the way have 8 dyes in their eyes -- so have much sharper color discernment than humans. Their rainbow would likely have tens of distinct colors -- not just the 7 or 8 colors we see.", "So, when the mass of chlorine is measured using an instrument called a mass spectrometer the result is a mass of 35.5. The atomic weight, or as it is properly called, the RELATIVE atomic mass, is a weighted average of the masses of all the isotopes of chlorine.", "Question Date: 2008-09-09. \nAnswer 1: Well lets see.

Now in the balloon, the pressure of the gas is slightly greater than one bar because the strength of the elastic balloon.", "That's what crocodiles and large snakes do. They can go weeks and months between meals and part of that is because they don't need to waste food energy to heat themselves up. \nAnswer 2: Animals don't need energy from the sun, not directly anyway. Animals get energy from the food they eat.", "It only picks the best solution out of the various options available. For a black plant that is genetically superior to out-compete all other plants, it would have to exist in the first place. It may have been unlikely for a plant to develop such an amazing combination of different pigments.", "Water takes a lot longer to warm up or cool down. This is true with the ocean. The air temperature on land goes up and down a lot more than the water temperature of the ocean. Summer sun warms up the ocean, and a lot of this heat is stored there.", "The force of so much water is greater than that of a hurricane, but hurricanes also last longer and so can cause lots of damage also. I have never heard of a hundred thousand people dying from one hurricane, though. But - don't worry.", "Each element melts at a different temperature, called it's \"melting point\". Hydrogen melts at -259 degrees Celsius. Mercury melts at -39 degrees Celsius. Iron melts at 1,535 degrees Celsius. As the temperature is increased still further, each element will boil and become a gas.", "From the viewpoint of philosophy, we cannot, being a part of evolution, easily ask questions about why evolution happens. Less philosophically, the driving force for evolution, as for many other natural processes, is the tendency towards increasing entropy in the universe.", "The earth's rotation and strong seasonal winds push surface water away from some western coasts, so water rises on the western edges of continents to replace it, which is why the ocean is so much colder on the east coast than the west coast. Marine life thrives in these nutrient-rich waters.", "One example of this is in the polar oceans, where the water temp doesn't change much (generally -2 to +2 degrees C). If the global ocean warms 1-2 degrees this is like it getting 20% hotter (or like Santa Barbara suddenly turning into Arizona and you not having an air conditioner).", "Question Date: 2017-03-02. \nAnswer 1: Salt is sodium chloride NaCl. It forms in saline lakes and in marine environments where there is a LOT of evaporation of water. So, the analogy is, sprinkle salt into a few table spoons of water; not too much. Make sure the salt crystals all dissolve, then take this salty water and put it on a dish and let the water evaporate.", "In the Pacific, this causes the surface waters off of the coast of CA to move out to sea. The displaced water is replaced with deeper water that is rich in sediments and nutrients. The sediments and organic material are the main causes of the cloudy water along the CA coast.", "This is the same way that you can see your breath on cold winter mornings. When you breath out, you exhale water from your lungs. When your breath hits the cold air outside, the cold makes the water in it come together into very tiny particles that you can see as clouds or fog or steam.", "Designate either on the print card or in a cover letter whether the inked prints are from the suspect or are for elimination. Place fingerprint cards in a stiff envelope to protect them from being bent. Seal the envelope and label it with your initials, the date, and an exhibit number.

Weather is important to people in many different ways, but several major examples come to mind: 1) Weather controls the distribution of rain water on earth.", "With this knowledge, we can also explain why the sun has a weaker tidal effect than the moon. While the gravitational effect of the sun on the earth is much, much greater, since the sun is much further away, the difference in force between one side of the earth and the other is actually smaller, 45% smaller, in fact.", "Question Date: 2006-01-20. \nAnswer 1: Nucleic acids allow organisms to transfer genetic information from one generation to the next. There are two types of nucleic acids: deoxyribonucleic acid better known as DNA and ribonucleic acid, better known as RNA.", "Question Date: 2014-09-03. \nAnswer 1: Many times when people say “atom” they are implying that there are as many electrons as protons. In this case, the total charge is zero. If an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion with a positive or negative charge.", "The air pressure is all around us, no matter if you are inside or outside of a building. In order to change the pressure, you have to change the amount of molecules of air around you. This is possible either using a pressure chamber or moving upwards or downwards from the sea level.", "There are, however, more serious sleep disorders that also cause twitching. The symptoms are more serious, either in terms of the frequency of the twitching (for example if it happens every night for weeks on end) or in the severity of the twitching (for example if the twitching lasts for many seconds or minutes).", "Humans have \"harvested\" salt from the ocean and from spring waters for thousands of years.

Human blood has red blood cells in it, which are responsible for taking oxygen and carrying it throughout our bodies.", "For most substances (air, water, metals, etc.) if temperature increases, density will decrease. So, if we have water at 200˚F and water at 35˚F, the water at 200˚F will be less dense than the water at 35˚F, and it will float on the top!", "Also, air is way more concentrated with oxygen than water is, so water is also better for fish in that way. Fish need the water so they can dissolve the oxygen to \"breathe\", whereas humans need air (and the high oxygen concentration of the air) to inhale their oxygen content. \nAnswer 5:", "To study igneous and metamorphic rocks, we use sophisticated machines that can measure the chemistry of minerals and rocks and tell us how old the rocks are and what elements they are made of. Rocks from Earth’s deeper layers (like Earth’s mantle) are harder to find at the surface.", "Sound is a mechanical wave that propagates through a medium (air, water), and the frequency of a sound wave determines its tone and pitch.

Because whales are mammals, they give birth to their baby whales in the water (whales don't come from eggs).", "Even if two cells get a chromosome #1 from dad, for example, one might have a bit from mom. The cell divides twice, so the cells at the end only have 1 copy of each chromosome. At the end of meiosis in males, 1 cell will have made 4 sperm cells. Each one will have one copy of each chromosome.", "Even aquatic animals (fish, cetaceans, penguins) use a type of coloration that makes them difficult to be seen - darker on top and lighter underneath. The second way that animals achieve camouflage is a more active way - by literally changing the color or pattern of their skin to mimic their surroundings.", "Sunlight is actually made up of photons, which are very small particles that carry electromagnetic force. In the first step of photosynthesis, the plants capture a photon and harness its energy in order to start photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, the plants take carbon dioxide (which is present throughout the air) and water (which is also in the air and dirt) and turn it into sugar, among other compounds.", "Also, techniques such as taking samples from multiple sections and dating with multiple isotopes, will help crosscheck/confirm the accuracy of the date. Carbon-14 is the most commonly used isotope for dating organic material (plants, animals). Plants and animals continually take in carbon-14 during their lifespan.", "Question Date: 2007-02-26. \nAnswer 1: When an object appears a certain color when illuminated by white light it means that it is reflecting light of that color and absorbing all other colors. For example, a red apple is reflecting red light and absorbing all other colors of light.", "Question Date: 2015-09-30. \nAnswer 1: Thanks for your great question! Earth is made up of three layers (although geologists usually think of it as four layers). Those layers are: the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. The crust is the outermost layer of Earth, and it is the one we live on.", "So far as we know about Venus, it seems too hot to have any of the life we know. However, we can't rule out the possibility that there could be other life forms exist and they might be completely different from what we know. Therefore, there could be life on Venus but it's may just not be the same as we think.", "North Pole. Winter time is -34 degress F (really cold!) Summer time is 32 degrees F (not as cold but still cold!) South Pole. Winter time is -72 degrees F (super cold!) Summer time is -15 degrees F. Note: the temperature at which liquid water turns into ice is 32 degrees F. So you can see how cold it is in the poles.", "The acid just allows another chemical, called pepsin, to work properly and break down food. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme. Other digestive enzymes are found in you saliva and intestine. The stomach and its chemicals are just part of the digestion story.", "Question Date: 2013-10-09. \nAnswer 1: This is a very important question. In my lab I use pure acetone every day to clean and purify my samples. Fortunately, acetone isn’t extremely dangerous, but you should still try to avoid excessive contact with it. Here’s why:", "Also, our skin is a very good barrier against viruses and bacteria. If our skin was not able to heal, it would be much easier for viruses and bacteria to enter our blood stream and cause disease or infection. When your skin is cut, the damaged cells release several chemicals.", "The salt content in the water lowers its freezing temperature by 32°F (17.8°C)!

Some places have it thinner, others have it thicker. I don't know if you've heard of them, but the areas where the magnetic field is thinnest (near the north and south poles) are places where we see \"auroras\".", "The sun is known to be a population 2 star -- i.e. its spectra shows traces of many elements other than hydrogen and helium so it is almost certainly made up of gas mixed with debris from earlier stars. (It is believed that all elements beyond iron are formed only in such collossal explosions).", "Certain minerals in granite contain small amounts of sodium (Na). When mountains get worn down by rivers and glaciers that sodium gets into the rivers. Volcanic eruptions spew out a bunch of water vapor and carbon dioxide and other gasses like chlorine.", "The formula for carbon dioxide is CO 2, that means one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen. The atomic mass of carbon is 12 grams per mole. So one mole of O 2 weights : 2 x 16 = 32 grams. One mole of carbon dioxide : 12 + (2 x 16) = 44 grams.", "Metals are reflective because the electrons in metals are almost free, and have an infinitely large number of possible energy levels, and thus can reflect any photon. Most pigments work by absorbing certain wavelengths of light. Other wavelengths are reflected or scattered, which cause you to see those colours.", "One can always describe a motion in a large number of ways...however, when considering the sun earth system, one logical way is to define the center of gravity of the system and to desribe the motion of both the sun and earth as moving around the common center of gravity. Now since the Sun is so much more massive than the earth, the common center of gravity is PRACTICALLY coincident with the sun itself.", "I hope that answers your question, and maybe makes you curious about a whole much more. -Yours in Science, \nAnswer 2: Blood that is leaving the heart and going to the rest of the body has just recently been oxygenated, and is therefore red.", "If we assume that when you stretch the DNA out into a straight line, it still retains the typical B-form helix structure, and that a single human genome contains about 3 billion base pairs (3 x 10 9 ), then we get the following: (3,000,000,000 base pairs) x (3.4 angstroms per base pair) = 10,200,000,000 angstroms long.", "Two examples are adult barnacles and coral! . \nAnswer 3: In the field of biology, we have defined a set of requirements that characterize what a living thing is. One of the requirements is that living things respond to stimuli, and usually this means motion.", "In Iron (II) oxide, or Ferrous Oxide, or FeO, the Iron element (Fe) is bonded to the Oxygen, in the oxidation state of \"2\". This means that the Iron has accepted 2 electrons from the Oxygen. Because of this electromagnetic interaction, the charge of the Iron (Fe) in FeO is 2+.", "What a great question!

We know how fast seismic waves travel through “normal” parts of the earth, so we know when to expect a wave to arrive at a seismometer a certain distance from where an earthquake happened.", "The main source of this atmospheric water was volcanic eruptions and outgassing. Basically before photosynthesis began on large scales, free oxygen molecules in the atmosphere were drawn down in oxidation reactions with free metal ions on the Earth's surface, mainly iron.", "The idea of atoms started very early with Democritus a little before 500 BC. Democritus was a philosopher, and postulated that if he divided any object many times he would eventually come down to a unit that would be further indivisible, (which is in fact what the word \"atom\" means!) and called this unit an atom.", "Then, parts of your body do not receive the essential oxygen, and effectively suffocate.

A combination of low temperatures and high pressures results in the different components of air condensing out as liquids. Air is about 78% nitrogen and 22% oxygen (the remaining components are mostly carbon dioxide, water and argon, all in very small quantities and can be neglected). First, the oxygen condenses into the liquid at 90.2 K (which is negative 182.9 degrees C,) and then nitrogen condenses into the liquid at 77.4 K (which is negative 195.75 degrees C).", "Some types of solar cells also have different power conversion efficiencies for the same illumination (light intensity) as a function of temperature. Thus, a change has more to do with the properties of the material in the solar panel than how much light is absorbed at a given temperature. \nAnswer 4:", "The moon’s gravity pulls on Earth’s oceans, causing tides. Earth pulls on the moon, keeping it in orbit around Earth. Earth's mass is 5.9724 x 1024 kg and the moon's mass is 0.07346 x 1024 kg.

The mass of an object is the quantity of matter it possesses. The important thing to remember about mass is that it is constant, and therefore if you are on Earth, the Moon, Mars, or anywhere, your mass is always going to be the same.", "The skin is also thicker (about 8-14 times thicker) here, which makes sense since theres so much chance to wear down these areas. The cells here divide sooner, while they are still smaller than skin cells in other places. The differences in color and thickness are because of one gene that makes a protein called DKK1.", "An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on anything else for it to occur, while the dependent variable changes based on the value of the independent variable.

On coilovers with linear springs preload has no effect on spring rate.", "Compression & rebound. Compression occurs when the piston inside the damper is moved inwards, increasing the pressure of the fluid in the chamber.

Full coilovers are matched up with a shock absorber from the factory, while with slip-on coilovers, the dampers and springs are bought separately and then assembled. There is a large number of companies who make aftermarket coilovers for vehicles, many of which allow the customer to adjust various settings such as ride height and damping.", "This later category can be split further into dampers that have low-speed adjustment and those that have independent high- and low-speed adjustment. An example of high speed in the context of suspension movement would be a car hitting a bump; an example of slow speed movement would be a car changing direction.", "A mono-tube coilover is a single piston and rod assembly in a damping case in which both compression and rebound occur. A larger mono-tube shock will be able to displace more hydraulic fluid, providing a more sensitive response to small suspension movements than twin-tube shocks.", "Alternatively, the damper's threaded body is matched to a threaded bottom mount which allows ride height adjustment without affecting bump travel. Most coilovers also have adjustable dampers, which are usually adjusted with an adjustment knob on top of the damper.", "Rebound is the result of the piston moving back after having been compressed, resulting in compression of the fluid once more. Adjustments made to rebound control the motion of the vehicle's sprung weight, changing how rapidly weight will be shifted away from the wheel.", "Camber and caster: Some coilover suspension kits may also be supplied with adjustable top mounts. Depending on the design of the car's suspension these top mounts can allow the adjustment of camber and/or caster. Some coilovers use the car's original top mounts and are therefore not adjustable.", "Adjustable dampers fall into three main categories: those that adjust compression only, those that adjust rebound only, those that adjust rebound and compression in parallel, and those that are adjustable for rebound and compression independently.", "The damper and spring are assembled as a unit prior to installation, and are replaced as a unit when either of the sub-components fails. Some coilovers are adjustable. Most, if not all, adjustable coilovers have variable ride height and preload, adjusted using a simple threaded spring perch similar to a nut.", "Roll stiffness: By fitting springs with a higher spring rate, roll stiffness can be increased. Likewise, a lower spring rate results in increased roll. Ride height: By using threaded spring seats or threaded bottom brackets, the ride height of the vehicle can be raised or lowered.", "The bottom mount is a threaded sleeve with two adjuster nuts that are used to preload the coils and increase or decrease ride height. Compression and rebound: The stiffness of the compression and rebound of the suspension can be adjusted if the coilovers use adjustable dampers.", "Stiffness can be changed by switching the spring for one with a different spring rate or by adjusting the stiffness of the damper. Coilovers are made up of several components, including the damper, coil spring, bushing, bump stops, upper and lower mounts, various nuts and washers, threaded sleeves, and collars.", "This high degree of adjustment is what gives coilovers an advantage over typical MacPherson struts. Coilovers can be used to lower the vehicle's centre of gravity, and to increase the roll stiffness of the vehicle to reduce weight transfer when the vehicle changes direction.", "The purpose of coilover springs is to prevent the chassis from bottoming out, support each individual wheel on the vehicle, and to mitigate or reduce body roll when taking turns and cornering, particularly at higher speeds. The springs also help to reduce squatting when accelerating and diving when decelerating.", "A twin-tube coilover is more complex than a mono-tube assembly.

Learning Outcome. After completing this lesson, you should be able to describe thermal convection, ridge push, slab pull and trench suction.", "Underneath and behind the plate, a small convection current caused by the diving crust can form and help pull the plate into the Earth. It is very similar to the force that keeps a raft trapped in suction under a waterfall.

Geologists think that this same phenomenon is what is happening inside the Earth. Liquid rock near the mantle is heated and rises toward the crust. The rock near the surface is cooler and sinks back down toward the core.", "As this happens, the plates smash into each other, slide past each other or are pushed under another plate. This movement of the plate along with the upwelling of the mantle by the convection currents may also cause secondary actions that assist in plate movement. Ridge Push.", "The gravity causes this movement down the ridge, and it gives the plate a push along as new crust forms behind the plate at the spreading center. This is like those coin bulldozers at the fair where one new coin may push forward and knock others out of the way!

Scientists believe that this cycle of magma rising from the core to the crust and back again takes thousands of years to complete. Convection currents in the liquid mantle cause the plates to move.", "This also differs from ridge push and slab pull because it is not the result of gravitational pull. Lesson Summary. So, to recap, there are several mechanisms that scientists use to help explain the movement of the giant pieces of the Earth's crust (called tectonic plates ).", "In ridge push and slab pull, gravity is acting on the plate to cause the movement. Areas where the crust is pushed upward by magma welling up are also pulled downward by gravity, forcing edges of plates back into the Earth's interior. These processes pull the whole plate along.", "I am a teacher. Create Your Account To Continue Watching.

Because these plates are higher at the spreading center, they are forced downhill due to gravity and eventually flatten out to the ocean floor.", "There are several mechanisms that scientists have developed based on the observations of the plates and a deeper understanding of the inner layers of the Earth. These mechanisms operate at different points in the Earth and very well could complement each other, each assisting in moving the plate in its own fashion.", "Instructor: Peter Jaeger. Show bio. Pete currently teaches middle school Science, college level introductory Science, and has a master's degree in Environmental Education. In this lesson, we explore the causes of plate movement, including thermal convection, ridge push and slab pull. Students will learn how these processes complement each other and form a theory for tectonic plate movement.", "Yes, tectonic plates move, and the mechanism that causes them to move is the subject of this lesson. The part of my brother's story that is true is that the Western part of California, west of the San Andreas Fault, is moving in a different direction than the rest of the continent. The Western part of California is moving northwest at the rate of several centimeters per year.", "Thermal convection works a lot like a pot of boiling water, which can be seen in this animation. In convection, heat from the stove warms up the water closest to the stove, causing the water to expand and rise. Cooler water near the surface of the pot sinks to take the place of the rising water.", "The force that causes most of the plate movement is thermal convection, where heat from the Earth's interior causes currents of hot rising magma and cooler sinking magma to flow, moving the plates of the crust along with them.
