What is eDNA Metabarcoding? Environmental DNA (eDNA) […]

Why do seismic waves speed up?

Why do seismic waves speed up? Seismic waves travel fast, on the order of kilometers per second (km/s). Temperature tends to lower the speed of seismic waves and pressure tends to increase the speed. Pressure increases with depth in Earth because the weight of the rocks above gets larger with increasing depth. Where do seismic […]

What is the function of electrical grid?

What is the function of electrical grid? The electrical grid is a complex network of electrical generators (i.e., power plants) and transmission and distribution lines that dynamically responds to shifts in electrical supply and demand to make sure electricity is always supplied reliably.

What is the inductance unit?

What is the inductance unit? Henry, unit of either self-inductance or mutual inductance, abbreviated H, and named for the American physicist Joseph Henry. One henry is the value of self-inductance in a closed circuit or coil in which one volt is produced by a variation of the inducing current of one ampere per second. What […]

How do you tell if a mountain was a volcano?

How do you tell if a mountain was a volcano? For a landform to qualify as a mountain, it must rise for over 600 meters above the surrounding area.

Which is the main light absorbing pigment for photosynthesis?

Which is the main light absorbing pigment for photosynthesis? Chlorophyll, the primary pigment used in photosynthesis, reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light most strongly. In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll. What is carbon fixation and how does it relate to photosynthesis? Carbon fixation is the process by […]
