What latitudes are important? Important lines of latitude: the equator (0°) the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° north) the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° south) the Arctic circle (66.5° north) the Antarctic circle (66.5° south) the North Pole (90° north) the South Pole (90° south) What are the two major longitudes? Important Longitudes Longitude Position Countries through […]
Does the lag time get shorter or longer the further you get from the epicenter?
Does the lag time get shorter or longer the further you get from the epicenter? Longer time lag means you are farther from the epicenter. Shorter time lag between waves means the waves are nearly on top of each other, meaning you are nearer to the epicenter. How can you prove an epicenter was where […]
How can you increase the density of air?
How can you increase the density of air? Density and pressure/temperature As pressure increases, with temperature constant, density increases. Conversely when temperature increases, with pressure constant, density decreases. Air density will decrease by about 1% for a decrease of 10 hPa in pressure or 3 °C increase in temperature. What factors affect air density? Pressure, […]
How is a rainforest different from other forests?
How is a rainforest different from other forests? A rainforest is an ecosystem characterized by heavy rain and a dense tree canopy that lets very little light through to the understory. A forest ecosystem must receive over 60 inches of rain per year to be considered a rainforest. The temperate rainforest biome has fewer species […]
What is the similarities between qualitative and quantitative?
What is the similarities between qualitative and quantitative? One similarity between qualitative and quantitative research is that raw data is ultimately qualitative. Even though numbers are unbiased, the researcher still has to choose some numbers and disregard others. What is a quantitative observation example? Examples of quantitative observation include age, weight, height, length, population, size […]

What is the difference between infrared camera and thermal camera?
What is the difference between infrared camera and thermal camera? Active IR systems use short wavelength infrared light to illuminate an area of interest. Some of the infrared energy is reflected back to a camera and interpreted to generate an image. Thermal imaging systems use mid- or long wavelength IR energy. Can an infrared camera […]
What would happen when an electron in AH atom absorbs light?
What is the thickest and longest nerve in the body?
What is the thickest and longest nerve in the body? The sciatic nerve is the thickest and longest nerve in your body. The sciatic nerve extends from your lower back down to your feet. If the sciatic nerve is compressed or inflamed, a painful condition called Sciatica can result. What nerve is responsible for hearing? […]
Which object will reach terminal velocity first?
Which object will reach terminal velocity first? A falling object will continue to accelerate to higher speeds until they encounter an amount of air resistance that is equal to their weight. Since the 150-kg skydiver weighs more (experiences a greater force of gravity), it will accelerate to higher speeds before reaching a terminal velocity. How […]
