What lives in a salt marsh? Composed of fine silts and clays, mud flats harbor burrowing creatures including clams, mussels, oysters, fiddler crabs, sand shrimp, and bloodworms. Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day. They are marshy because their ground is composed of peat. How do humans impact salt marshes? […]
What best compares radiation and conduction?
What best compares radiation and conduction? The statements that best compares radiation and conduction are the following: both transfer thermal energy from warm objects to cooler objects and both can transfer energy through matter. The difference is that conduction is through direct heat transfer; whereas, radiation transfers heat through waves. What describes how radiation moves? […]

When the economy is at full employment the unemployment rate is zero?
When the economy is at full employment the unemployment rate is zero? Full employment does not mean zero unemployment, it means cyclical unemployment rate is zero. At this rate, job seekers are equal to job openings. This is also called the natural rate of unemployment (Un) where real GDP is at its potential GDP. When […]
How do humans use radiant energy?
How do humans use radiant energy? Heat created by the body can be radiant energy. A surface heated by the sun converts the energy of the light into infrared energy which is a form of radiant energy. Cell phones utilize radiant energy to function. Magnetic motor generators that utilize neodymium magnets create radiant energy. What […]
What happens when things are heated differently?
What happens when things are heated differently? When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object […]

Which planet has the greatest eccentricity?
Which planet has the greatest eccentricity? Mercury How is Earth’s eccentricity calculated? The formula to determine the eccentricity of an ellipse is the distance between foci divided by the length of the major axis. What is the maximum allowed value for eccentricity? 0.057 Is Earth’s orbital eccentricity large or small? The eccentricity of Earth’s orbit […]
