What is 0.2 percent proof stress? The 0.2% offset yield strength (0.2% OYS, 0.2% proof stress, RP0. 2, RP0,2) is defined as the amount of stress that will result in a plastic strain of 0.2%. This is illustrated by the blue line in Figure 1 below. This is the yield strength that is most often […]

How does convection currents affect weather? During convection, cooler water or air sinks, and warmer water or air rises. This movement causes currents. These currents move water all around the earth, bringing warm water to cooler areas and vice versa. This redistributes thermal energy and causes changes in the weather. What are convection currents and […]

What is the relationship between CO2 and temperature? When the carbon dioxide concentration goes up, temperature goes up. When the carbon dioxide concentration goes down, temperature goes down. How much does carbon dioxide contribute to global warming? Increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide are responsible for about two-thirds of the total energy imbalance that is causing […]

What is the first thing to do when a new system has been assembled built up and is ready for testing? What is the first thing to do when a new system has been assembled (built up), and is ready for testing? Pressurize with an inert gas and leak check. You just studied 25 terms! […]

Which plants disperse their seeds by wind? Wind dispersal Seeds from plants like dandelions, swan plants and cottonwood trees are light and have feathery bristles and can be carried long distances by the wind. Some plants, like kauri and maple trees, have ‘winged’ seeds. What are the 5 types of seed dispersal? There are five […]
