So there is no volcanic eruption […]

Which has a higher refractive index? diamond What Does index of refraction depend on? Refractive index of a medium depends upon the refractive index of the surroundings (when you consider the light ray passing from the surrounding into the medium), optical density, wavelength of the light and temperature. Can you have a negative index of […]

How much is 1/16th Native American? In the early 20th century, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina set the minimum blood degree at 1/32 (the equivalent of having one full-blood, great-great-great grandparent) but eventually raised it to 1/16 (the equivalent of having one full-blood, great-great grandparent).

What increases as the atomic number increases? Ahh a wonderful question. Remember that as atomic numbers increase, the number of protons increase as well in the nucleus. This concentration of positive charge in the middle of an atom makes all the electrons come closer to the nucleus. Why does atomic size increase down a group […]

How do you calculate the Y-intercept? To find the x-intercept of a given linear equation, plug in 0 for ‘y’ and solve for ‘x’. To find the y-intercept, plug 0 in for ‘x’ and solve for ‘y’. In this tutorial, you’ll see how to find the x-intercept and the y-intercept for a given linear equation. […]

What are the 4 main climate zones? There are 4 major climate zones: Tropical zone from 0°–23.5°(between the tropics) Subtropics from 23.5°–40° Temperate zone from 40°–60° Cold zone from 60°–90° What are the 13 different climate zones? These are: Winter dry (temperate climate) Winter dry (continental climate) Summer dry (continental climate) Continuously wet (continental climate) […]

How can you tell UV light? Ultraviolet light causes our skin to freckle, tan, or sunburn. A safer way to detect UV light is with a UV detector. Tell your students that they will use beads with a special pigment that changes color when exposed to UV light. These beads are called UV detectors. Can […]
