How do rocks handle stress? Rocks have three possible responses to increasing stress (illustrated in Figure below): elastic deformation: the rock returns to its original shape when the stress is removed. plastic deformation: the rock does not return to its original shape when the stress is removed. fracture: the rock breaks. What causes rocks to […]
What material expands the most when heated?
What material expands the most when heated? By contrast, iron, with a coefficient of 1.2, is 24 times more likely to expand or contract as a result of changes in temperature. (Steel has the same value as iron.) The coefficient for aluminum is 2.4, twice that of iron or steel. Which state of matter contracts […]
What force is used to lift a weight?
What are three primary methods of monitoring volcanic activity?
What are three primary methods of monitoring volcanic activity? Volcanologists use many different kinds of tools including instruments that detect and record earthquakes (seismometers and seimographs), instruments that measure ground deformation (EDM, Leveling, GPS, tilt), instruments that detect and measure volcanic gases (COSPEC), instruments that determine how much lava is … How can we detect […]
What are the factors affecting the height of the waves?
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 […]

Historically, this was not always the case: from 1947 to 1971 they were administered under the same government. The two countries share a number of attributes. How are rivers important to the peoples of Pakistan and […]
Why is it possible to use physical properties to separate a mixture?
Why is it possible to use physical properties to separate a mixture? The substances in a mixture are separated by the differences in their physical properties, such as their particle size. The more different the properties are, the easier it is to separate the substances. What are three physical properties used to separate mixtures? Physical […]
