What is the meaning of narrow leaves? Narrow-leaf bedstraw (Galium angustifolium) is a small, multi-stemmed shrub that may grow alone but often scrambles through the branches of larger plants. The stems are four-sided, usually ridged. Leaves are linear, less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length, with a small point at the tip. Petioles are […]

How are metamorphic rocks classified? Metamorphic rocks are broadly classified as foliated or non-foliated. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have aligned mineral crystals. Non-foliated rocks form when pressure is uniform, or near the surface where pressure is very low. The other minerals have been crushed and deformed into a fine-grained matrix (Mtx). What are metamorphic […]

How development is both qualitative and quantitative? Development is the combination of qualitative and quantitative process of growing or causing something to grow or become larger or more advanced. The term ‘growth’ and ‘development’ are not new but refer to changes over a period of time. Is Child Development continuous or discontinuous? Continuous development sees […]

Can you manipulate more than one variable? The short answer to whether scientists can use more than one manipulated variable in their experiments is “yes.” But just as important as the answer to this question is understanding why scientists would want to include two manipulated variables. How many control variables can you have? Similar to […]

What do you do if you hit black ice? Deal with a black ice encounter. If you do hit black ice, your first reaction must be to remain calm and avoid overreacting. The general rule is to do as little as possible and allow the car to pass over the ice. Do not hit the […]

Does higher volume mean higher density? Density is determined by an object’s mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density. It is about how heavy something is compared to the same amount (volume) of water. Are volume and mass […]

What is the lifespan of a neutron star? 1 million years Can you touch a neutron star? So when anything tries to touch neutron star, it would be suck in by gravity and collapse into lump of neutrons and feed their mass into that neutron star. And if it collects enough mass it would collapse […]

Is Diamond a luminous object? A diamond isn’t luminous object. It doesn’t have light of it’s own. Although it is a great thing to reflect the light that falls on it. That purity is what allows the diamond to show the dispersion of light and that’s the beauty. Is Earth a luminous body? It is […]
