How can we protect the cryosphere? By quickly taking steps to curb emissions from cookstoves, forest burning, fossil fuel extraction and diesel transport countries could help preserve the cryosphere while at same time saving the lives and health of millions. What would happen if the cryosphere melted? Unsurprisingly, water from the current cryosphere melt is […]

What characteristics are used to identify metamorphic rocks?
What characteristics are used to identify metamorphic rocks? Metamorphic rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks, but have been changed (metamorphosed) as a result of intense heat and/or pressure within the Earth’s crust. They are crystalline and often have a “squashed” (foliated or banded) texture. What is the classification of igneous rocks based on quizlet? […]
What happens when something reaches absolute zero?
What happens when something reaches absolute zero? At zero kelvin (minus 273 degrees Celsius) the particles stop moving and all disorder disappears. Thus, nothing can be colder than absolute zero on the Kelvin scale. Physicists have now created an atomic gas in the laboratory that nonetheless has negative Kelvin values. What determines the state of […]

What is the function of the dermis? The dermis is a fibrous structure composed of collagen, elastic tissue, and other extracellular components that includes vasculature, nerve endings, hair follicles, and glands. The role of the dermis is to support and protect the skin and deeper layers, assist in thermoregulation, and aid in sensation. What are […]
What do you notice about the iron filings?
What do you notice about the iron filings? All magnets show properties of magnetic attraction and repulsion. With the use of iron filings, we can see these magnetic fields. When iron filings are sprinkled on a bar magnet, you see that these magnetic field lines start at the magnet’s north end and will end at […]
How might predator/prey relationships affect light pollution?
How might predator/prey relationships affect light pollution? Summary: A new study provides strong evidence that exposure to light pollution alters predator-prey dynamics between mule deer and cougars across the intermountain West, a rapidly growing region where nighttime skyglow is an increasing environmental disturbance. When the environment has reached its carrying capacity for the human population […]
