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 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 […]
Which describes the movement of cells?
Which describes the movement of cells? Cell movement or motility is a highly dynamic phenomenon that is essential to a variety of biological processes such as the development of an organism (morphogenesis), wound healing, cancer metastasis and immune response. In all these examples, cells reach their target by crawling. What describes simple diffusion? In biology, […]

What is the cycle of rain called?
What is the cycle of rain called? As the water vapor rises higher and higher, the cool air of the atmosphere causes the water vapor to turn back into liquid water, creating clouds. This process is called condensation. When a cloud becomes full of liquid water, it falls from the sky as rain or snow—also […]
What happens when you put a magnet near a compass?
What is the relationship between the mass of the counterweight and theamount of work done on the projectile?
What is the relationship between the mass of the counterweight and theamount of work done on the projectile? As the force exerted on the projectile is equal to the mass of the counterweight times the gravitational constant, when the mass is increased, the force will also increase. What forces are involved in a trebuchet? A […]
