What are the factors affecting the height of the waves? Wave height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or […]

Is pitch and note the same? Pitch is the high or low frequency of a sound. When you sing, you create pitch because your vocal cords vibrate at a certain speed. Notes are musical symbols that indicate the location of a pitch. Tone is the color or timbre of pitch. Can a sound have no […]

Why does cooling rate affect crystal size? As the rate of cooling increases, crystal size decreases. This means that something which cools very quickly will have smaller crystal formations, and something which cools slowly will have larger crystal formations. This is easily seen in igneous rock, which may cool at variable rates. What factors affect […]

What is the correct pathway for vision? The visual pathway consists of the retina, optic nerves, optic chiasm, optic tracts, lateral geniculate bodies, optic radiations, and visual cortex. The pathway is, effectively, part of the central nervous system because the retinae have their embryological origins in extensions of the diencephalon. Which controls the amount of […]
