Which jet stream is responsible for burst of monsoon? Easterly Jet Stream How jet streams are formed? Jet streams are currents of air high above the Earth. They move eastward at altitudes of about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles). They form where large temperature differences exist in the atmosphere. Cooler, heavier air […]
How do you explain special relativity?
How do you explain special relativity? The theory of special relativity explains how space and time are linked for objects that are moving at a consistent speed in a straight line. Simply put, as an object approaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to go any faster than light […]
What weather does a cumulus cloud bring?
What weather does a cumulus cloud bring? What weather is associated with cumulus clouds? Mostly, cumulus indicates fair weather, often popping up on bright sunny days. Though if conditions allow, cumulus can grow into towering cumulus congestus or cumulonimbus clouds, which can produce showers. What type of weather does a stratus cloud bring? What weather […]
Which of the following is a correct comparison between mitosis and meiosis?
Which of the following is a correct comparison between mitosis and meiosis? So, the correct answer is ‘Meiosis II resembles mitosis when sister chromatids split’ Which is the correct order of these mitosis events? Stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. Cytokinesis typically overlaps with anaphase and/or telophase. You can remember the order of the […]
Is cytosol in all cells?
Is cytosol in all cells? Cytosol is the part of the cytoplasm that is not held by any of the organelles in the cell. All the cell organelles in eukaryotic cells are contained within the cytoplasm. What is the importance of the cytosol? The cytosol serves several functions within a cell. It is involved in […]
What are the two types of emission spectra?
What are the two types of emission spectra? The spectra can be divided into two types viz., emission and absorption spectra. The differences between them are given below. 1) The emission spectrum is obtained due to emission of radiation from the substances. What is most important about the emission spectra? The different colors of light […]
What is shutdown dissociation?
What is shutdown dissociation? The Shutdown Dissociation Scale (Shut-D) is a semi-structured interview, it was first published in 2011 to assess dissociative responses caused by reminders of traumatic stress .[1] The Shut-D Scale assesses biological symptoms associated with freeze, fight/flight, fright, and flag/faint responses, and is based on the … How can you tell if […]
What causes a comet to move?
What causes a comet to move? Long-period comets are set in motion towards the Sun from the Oort cloud by gravitational perturbations caused by passing stars and the galactic tide. Hyperbolic comets may pass once through the inner Solar System before being flung to interstellar space. How do I track comets? How to See Comet […]
Where do magnetic fields come from?
Where do magnetic fields come from? The magnetic field is generated by electric currents due to the motion of convection currents of a mixture of molten iron and nickel in the Earth’s outer core: these convection currents are caused by heat escaping from the core, a natural process called a geodynamo. How is Earth’s magnetic […]
