What are the factors that affect soil stability? factors influence the size, distribution, and stability of soil aggregates. Among these factors are the method of taking and handling the sample, season of the year, moisture content of the soil at time of sampling, past soil management practices, and method of determining and expressing soil aggregation. […]
What is a high pitch or low pitch?
What is a high pitch or low pitch? A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave. Amazingly, many people, especially those who have been musically trained, are capable of detecting a difference in frequency between two separate sounds that is […]
How does high voltage reduce power loss?
How does high voltage reduce power loss? High voltage transmission minimizes the amount of power lost as electricity flows from one location to the next. The higher the voltage, the lower the current. The lower the current, the lower the resistance losses in the conductors. And when resistance losses are low, energy losses are low […]
What is the primary output of the Calvin cycle?
What is the primary output of the Calvin cycle? Outputs of the Calvin cycle are ADP, P, and NADP+, which go into the light reactions, and sugar, which is used by the plant. 2. What is the most important result of photosynthesis? An extremely important byproduct of photosynthesis is oxygen, on which most organisms depend. […]
Can sound waves bend?
Can sound waves bend? Sound waves do, indeed, bend. In an underwater thermal gradient the sonar waves can bend enough to create blind spots, so that you can not “see” a target that would ordinarily be well within sonar range. The other example is the difference in how well sound carries up/down wind. What is […]
What is the two main function of a diode?
What is the two main function of a diode? Main functions The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current to pass in one direction (called the diode’s forward direction), while blocking it in the opposite direction (the reverse direction). As such, the diode can be viewed as an electronic version […]
What is the meaning of fog horn?
What is the most important muscle?
What is the most important muscle? The human heart is the most incredible muscle in the body, beating about 100,000 times to send 3,600 gallons of blood through 75,000 miles of blood vessels each day. Sure, skeletal muscles are vital to our ability to function, but the heart is truly a step above. What muscle […]
What are the six sensory receptors?
What are the six sensory receptors? Sensory receptors exist in all layers of the skin. There are six different types of mechanoreceptors detecting innocuous stimuli in the skin: those around hair follicles, Pacinian corpuscles, Meissner corpuscles, Merkel complexes, Ruffini corpuscles, and C-fiber LTM (low threshold mechanoreceptors). What do all receptors have in common? What do […]
What happens if I get pregnant on birth control?
What happens if I get pregnant on birth control? Becoming pregnant while on birth control does increase your risk of ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized embryo attaches outside the uterus, often in the fallopian tube. This is a very serious, life-threatening problem and should be cared for immediately. Where do your […]
