What has the greatest effect on plate movement? Scientists still debate over which of these forces has the greatest effect on plate motion. Convection currents in the mantle produce a force that causes motion called basal drag. Rising mantle material at mid-ocean ridges creates the potential for plates to move away from the ridge with […]
Are houses wired in series or parallel?
Are houses wired in series or parallel? Most standard 120-volt household circuits in your home are (or should be) parallel circuits. Outlets, switches, and light fixtures are wired in such a way that the hot and neutral wires maintain a continuous circuit pathway independent from the individual devices that draw their power from the circuit. […]
What is the current in the wire?
What is the current in the wire? Electric current in a wire, where the charge carriers are electrons, is a measure of the quantity of charge passing any point of the wire per unit of time. Current is usually denoted by the symbol I. Ohm’s law relates the current flowing through a conductor to the […]
What are the 2 types of cell?
What are the 2 types of cell? Cell types. Cells are of two types: eukaryotic, which contain a nucleus, and prokaryotic, which do not. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms, while eukaryotes can be either single-celled or multicellular. Can we see neurons with naked eyes? The nerve itself is visible to the naked eye as it is […]
Is the amount of heat needed to raise 1 g of a substance 1 C?
Which is larger Kuiper belt or Oort Cloud?
Which is larger Kuiper belt or Oort Cloud? The Oort Cloud probably contains 0.1 to 2 trillion icy bodies in solar orbit. The Kuiper Belt extends from about 30 to 55 AU and is probably populated with hundreds of thousands of icy bodies larger than 100 kilometers (62 miles) across and an estimated trillion or […]
When a sperm fertilizes an egg What is it called?
When a sperm fertilizes an egg What is it called? Fertilization happens when a sperm cell successfully meets an egg cell in the fallopian tube. Once fertilization takes place, this newly fertilized cell is called a zygote. From here, the zygote will move down the fallopian tube and into the uterus. Does walking increase sperm […]
What does the slope of a distance-time graph indicate?
What does the slope of a distance-time graph indicate? The slope of the distance-time graph indicates speed. It is because the slope of a distance-time graph determines the speed of that body, so the steeper the slope greater will be the speed of the body. What is a symbol for time? Symbols for physical quantities […]
Is horizon a sunset?
What is the function of base course?
What is the function of base course? Under rigid pavements, the base course is used to: (1) provide uniform and stable support, (2) minimize damaging effects of frost action, (3) provide drainage, (4) prevent pumping of fine-grained soils at joints, (5) prevent volume change of the subgrade, (5) increase structural capacity of the pavement, and […]
