What do the lithosphere and asthenosphere have in common? Both the lithosphere and asthenosphere are part of Earth and are made of similar material. Lithosphere is made up of Earth’s outermost layer, the crust, and the uppermost portion of the mantle. In comparison, the asthenosphere is the upper portion of Earth’s mantle (which is also […]
Why is phrenology no longer accepted?
Why is phrenology no longer accepted? Phrenology was mostly discredited as a scientific theory by the 1840s. This was due only in part to a growing amount of evidence against phrenology. Phrenologists had never been able to agree on the most basic mental organ numbers, going from 27 to over 40, and had difficulty locating […]
What are the evidences of continental drift theory?
What are the evidences of continental drift theory? In the early part of the 20th century, scientists began to put together evidence that the continents could move around on Earth’s surface. The evidence for continental drift included the fit of the continents; the distribution of ancient fossils, rocks, and mountain ranges; and the locations of […]
Is the sun radiant energy?
Is the sun radiant energy? Does the Sun produce radiant energy? Yes, the Sun produces a lot of radiant energy, which is transmitted to Earth as light. Plants convert the electromagnetic energy in sunlight into chemical energy for their food, through a process called photosynthesis. What gives off radiant energy? The term radiant energy refers […]
How do you find centroid?
How do you find centroid? Centroid of a Triangle Definition: For a two-dimensional shape “triangle,” the centroid is obtained by the intersection of its medians. The centroid of a triangle = ((x1+x2+x3)/3, (y1+y2+y3)/3) To find the x-coordinates of G: To find the y-coordinates of G: Try This: Centroid Calculator. How do you find the centroid […]
What are the pros and cons to oil?
What is the function of ATP in the light independent reaction?
What is the function of ATP in the light independent reaction? The light-independent reactions use the ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions to reduce carbon dioxide and convert the energy to the chemical bond energy in carbohydrates such as glucose. What raw materials are used in light-independent reactions? Practice In photosynthesis, oxygen, carbon dioxide, […]
How does a photon interacts with matter?
How does a photon interacts with matter? In a pair-production interaction, the photon interacts with the nucleus in such a manner that its energy is converted into matter. The interaction produces a pair of particles, an electron and a positively charged positron. These two particles have the same mass, each equivalent to a rest mass […]
Why is energy released in a fission reaction?
Why is energy released in a fission reaction? Fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei (such as uranium) – in two smaller nuclei. This process needs less energy to ‘bind’ them together – so energy is released. The larger nuclei again needs less energy to hold it together – so energy is released. What is […]
