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 […]
What happens to pressure if volume decreases in gas?
What happens to pressure if volume decreases in gas? Explanation: Gas particles exert pressure by colliding with the walls of their container. If you reduce the volume, you are effectively increasing the density of the particles and they will collide with the walls more frequently, leading to an increase in pressure. Why does the volume […]

Why is Nhst bad?
Why is Nhst bad? NHST is unsuitable for large datasets Most NHST studies rely on nil null hypothesis testing (Nickerson, 2000) which means that H0 expects a true mean difference of exactly zero between conditions with some variation around this true zero mean. The p-value is smaller if the test statistic is larger. Why is […]

Can an explosion trigger an earthquake?
Can an explosion trigger an earthquake? A nuclear explosion can cause an earthquake and even an aftershock sequence. However, earthquakes induced by explosions have been much smaller than the explosion, and the aftershock sequence produces fewer and smaller aftershocks than a similar size earthquake. Not all explosions have caused earthquakes. Can a nuke cause a […]
