How do we use infrared waves in everyday life? Infrared (IR) light is used by electrical heaters, cookers for cooking food, short-range communications like remote controls, optical fibres, security systems and thermal imaging cameras which detect people in the dark. The heating effect of IR can cause burns to the skin. Can deer see IR […]

Is Mid-Atlantic Ridge a normal fault?
Is Mid-Atlantic Ridge a normal fault? 2 Study Area: The Northern Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (12°N–36°N) The MAR is a slow spreading mid‐ocean ridge (2.5 cm/yr full rate) characterized by a ∼10–20 km wide axial valley bordered by normal faults and segmented by transform and nontransform offsets [e.g., Searle and Laughton, 1977; Spencer et al., 1997]. At […]
What is the ideal gas thermometer?
What is the ideal gas thermometer? In principle, we can measure the same temperature using any gas, so long as the constant operating pressure is low enough. When we do so, our device is called the ideal gas thermometer. The (very nearly) direct proportionality of two low-pressure real gas volumes contrasts with what we observe […]
Is deceleration a physics word?
Is deceleration a physics word? Rick suggests: “Deceleration” is not actually a term in physics. It is only an English word used in common speech, meaning “a decrease in speed.” The problem with this word is that some students mistake it to mean the same as negative acceleration. Is deceleration a vector quantity? In a […]
What does a horizontal line indicate?
What does a horizontal line indicate? A horizontal line is commonly used in technical analysis to mark areas of support or resistance. A horizontal line runs parallel to the x-axis. In technical analysis, the horizontal line is typically drawn along a swing high, or a series of them, where each high in the series stopped […]

What is the relationship between mass and inertia quizlet?
What is the relationship between mass and inertia quizlet? Terms in this set (4) The greater the mass, the greater the inertia, and vice versa. Remark: This means that a more massive object has a greater tendency to resist a change in its state of rest or motion. What is the relationship between weight and […]
Why do waves not transfer matter?
Why do waves not transfer matter? A wave transports its energy without transporting matter. Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position. Energy is transported through the medium, yet the water molecules are not transported. Do waves transfer mass? Waves transfer energy but not […]
How do I identify an alluvial fan?
How do I identify an alluvial fan? Check the mouths of tributaries in larger valleys while in the field. Check topographic maps, and look for fan shaped elevation lines at the mouths of tributaries. Check soils maps for soils designated as “local alluvium.” What is the human impact of alluvial fan? Willful and continuous interference […]
