How can you tell the difference between a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave?
How can you tell the difference between a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave? In the longitudinal wave, the medium moves left to right, while in thee transverse wave, the medium moves vertically up and down. Longitudinal waves have a compression and rarefaction, while the transverse wave has a crest and a trough. Longitudinal waves […]
Will wind ever stop blowing?
Will wind ever stop blowing? Wind is the atmosphere trying to reach a pressure equilibrium. If the pressure is equalized, there will be no more wind. Which is rare on our planet as different areas are always heating and cooling. Hotter air is lower pressure and cooler air is higher pressure. Where on earth is […]
What are the three main characteristics of matter?
What are the three main characteristics of matter? Three States of Matter Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither […]
What is the most powerful erosional agent?
What is the most powerful erosional agent? Water Erosion Water is the most important erosional agent and erodes most commonly as running water in streams. However, water in all its forms is erosional. Raindrops (especially in dry environments) create splash erosion that moves tiny particles of soil. What is the concept of graded stream? A […]

Can fossils be found in granite?
Can fossils be found in granite? Most scientists will say it is very unlikely for fossils of any kind of be found in granite because granite forms at great depths, under conditions that would obliterate organic tissue. It is possible for the native sedimentary rock possessing fossils to be introduced to magma. What environments are […]
What happens to electrons when they reach a light bulb?
What happens to electrons when they reach a light bulb? 2 Answers. Electrons are accelerated by the field inside the incandescent filament (the voltage drop over the light bulb is large, the field is relatively strong). The electron then interacts with the lattice, losing its energy to thermal vibrations. Then gets accelerated again, etc. Is […]
What happens if I never stretch?
What happens if I never stretch? Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. […]
