What are three destructive effects of runoff? Some other effects from stormwater runoff include: Instead it runs off hard surfaces and, in a heavy rain, can lead to flooding, erosion and property damage. Water pollution. Water becomes polluted as it runs across lawns, driveways and other hard surfaces, when it collects oil, gas, fertilizers, pet […]

What does a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution illustrate? The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution describes the distribution of speeds among the particles in a sample of gas at a given temperature. The distribution is often represented graphically, with particle speed on the x-axis and relative number of particles on the y-axis. Created by Sal Khan. How is Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution derived? […]

What are the different forms of assessment? What are the types of assessment? Pre-assessment or diagnostic assessment. Formative assessment. Summative assessment. Confirmative assessment. Norm-referenced assessment. Criterion-referenced assessment. Ipsative assessment. What is the difference between assessment tools and assessment techniques?

How many types of bonds can a carbon atom form? four Can a single carbon atom exist on its own? Pure carbon can exist in different forms, depending on how its atoms are arranged. The forms include diamond, graphite, and fullerenes. All three forms exist as crystals, but they have different structures. Their different structures, […]

Which air can hold more water vapor? The maximum amount of water vapor that can be in the air depends on the air temperature. Warmer air can hold more water vapor within it. That’s why the muggiest days usually happen at the height of summer heat. But as the temperature goes down, the air can […]

How many outlets can a 15 amp breaker hold? 10 outlets Why is daisy chaining dangerous? Daisy chaining is a term that refers to the practice of plugging a power strip into another power strip. This is dangerous because an excessive amount of power is being drawn from one single wall outlet, which means the […]

What is tropical climate zone? Tropical climate is one of the five major climate groups in the Köppen climate classification. Tropical climates are characterized by monthly average temperatures of 18 ℃ (64.4 ℉) or higher year-round and feature hot temperatures. There are normally only two seasons in tropical climates, a wet season and a dry […]

Do charges move quickly through empty wires? It’s a common misconception that charges slow down as they go through the filament of a bulb because the filament is thinner than the wires in the rest of the circuit. Animation showing that the current is the same even if the wires have different thicknesses because the […]

Is 0 a rational number? Yes, 0 is a rational number. Since we know, a rational number can be expressed as p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero. Thus, we can express 0 as p/q, where p is equal to zero and q is an integer. Is negative […]

How do you tell if an egg is boiled by spinning? Tip: Just place the egg on a hard surface, like the counter, and spin it like a top. As it’s spinning, grab it with your fingers ever-so-briefly and immediately let go. If it keeps spinning, it’s raw. If it stops dead, it’s boiled. How […]
