What is the difference between synoptic and prognostic charts? 2. How are prognostic charts different from synoptic weather maps? Prognostic charts are computer generated forecast showing the expected pressure pattern at a specific future time. Synoptic weather maps describe the state of the atmosphere over a large area at a given moment. What is good […]

What is a Type D fire? Class D. Class D fires involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, and sodium. Extinguishers with a D rating are designed to extinguish fires involving combustible metals. Note: Common extinguishing agents may react with a combustible metal fire causing the severity of the fire to increase. What is a […]

What happens when an atom gains or loses an electron quizlet? When an atom loses an electron, it loses a negative charge and becomes a positive ion. When an atom gains an electron it gains a negative charge and becomes a negative ion. What kind of bond is formed when two atoms share an electron? […]

Does your little toe help you balance? Your toes play an important role in keeping you balanced as you move, whether you’re barefoot or wearing shoes. Your pinky is the smallest toe, but it’s crucial in helping you to maintain your balance. It helps to think of your foot as having a triangular base of […]

What are 5 examples of physical activity? Some examples of physical activity are: Going for a walk, bike, or run (join our indoor walking program). Doing household chores. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Playing at the park. Raking leaves or shovelling snow. What are the examples of moderate physical activity? Examples of moderate […]

How do I combine two plots in R? Combining Plots R makes it easy to combine multiple plots into one overall graph, using either the. With the par( ) function, you can include the option mfrow=c(nrows, ncols) to create a matrix of nrows x ncols plots that are filled in by row. The layout( ) […]

What is a critical point of a substance? Critical point, in physics, the set of conditions under which a liquid and its vapour become identical (see phase diagram). For each substance, the conditions defining the critical point are the critical temperature, the critical pressure, and the critical density. What happens to water at its critical […]

How do you talk about timbre? Terms we might use to describe timbre: bright, dark, brassy, reedy, harsh, noisy, thin, buzzy, pure, raspy, shrill, mellow, strained. I prefer to avoid describing timbre in emotional terms (excited, angry, happy, sad, etc.); that is not the sound quality, it is its effect or interpretation. What does timbre […]

What is CP and CV for water? Specific heat is the energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree. In thermodynamics, there are two kinds of specific heats: Cv (specific heat at constant volume) and Cp (specific heat at constant pressure). What is CP and CV? The […]
