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 […]
Why can sound not travel through space?
Why can sound not travel through space? Sound does not travel at all in space. The vacuum of outer space has essentially zero air. Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound. If you are sitting in a space ship and another space ship explodes, you would […]
Which gases is not a greenhouse gas?
Which gases is not a greenhouse gas? Examples for greenhouse gases: Carbon dioxides, Methane, Chlorofluorocarbon, sulphur dioxide. Whereas oxygen, nitrogen and argon are not examples of greenhouse gases. Is nitrogen monoxide a greenhouse gas? The direct greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4). The indirect greenhouse gases are non-methane volatile […]
What are the difference between the three types of stress compression tension and shear?
What are the difference between the three types of stress compression tension and shear? Compression is the most common stress at convergent plate boundaries. Rocks that are pulled apart are under tension. Tension is the major type of stress at divergent plate boundaries. When forces are parallel but moving in opposite directions, the stress is […]
Why capacitors are of little use for storage of energy?
Why capacitors are of little use for storage of energy? Capacitors are not ideal for energy storage because they discharge very fast and then they are of no use until recharged. Explanation: They are designed to perform different tasks than a battery. They are not suitable to deliver slow discharge for a long time like […]
What is a food chain in an ecosystem?
What is a food chain in an ecosystem? A food chain describes how energy and nutrients move through an ecosystem. In the food chain, energy is transferred from one living organism through another in the form of food. There are primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers and decomposers- all part of the food chain. How […]
What is the coating on the inside of a light bulb?
What is the coating on the inside of a light bulb? The white powder coating inside the glass tubing of a CFL contains a fluorescent coating. When electricity enters a CFL, mercury and argon fumes inside the bulb produce invisible ultraviolet (UV) light. This UV light reacts with the fluorescent coating to produce the white, […]
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 two things started Earth?
What two things started Earth? When the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun. Like its fellow terrestrial planets, Earth has a central core, a rocky mantle and a solid crust. Why […]
