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 disease can be transmitted through blood?
What disease can be transmitted through blood? Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria that are carried in blood and can cause disease in people. There are many different bloodborne pathogens, including malaria, syphilis, and brucellosis, and most notably Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV) and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). How can […]
What are long waves?
What are long waves? Long waves, also called infragravity waves, have a wave period of 30 seconds to several minutes. Astronomical tides represent one important example of long waves. Long waves can occur in shallow water, such as the Chesapeake Bay. But long waves are not limited to what is normally considered shallow water. What […]
How do you explain combustion?
How do you explain combustion? Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat. The original substance is called the fuel, and the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer. The fuel can be a solid, liquid, or gas, although for airplane propulsion the fuel is usually […]
What is the structure and function of biomolecules?
What is the structure and function of biomolecules? Biomolecule, also called biological molecule, any of numerous substances that are produced by cells and living organisms. Biomolecules have a wide range of sizes and structures and perform a vast array of functions. The four major types of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. What […]
What is a formula of stress?
What are the 3 basic types of scaffolds in the construction industry?
What are the 3 basic types of scaffolds in the construction industry? Workers who use scaffolds can be divided into three groups: Suspended Scaffolds. Supported Scaffolds. Aerial Lifts. What is the narrowest scaffolding? Narrowest 600mm scaffold tower For our narrowest tower try the stair tower. It comes in a 600mm wide frame so it can […]
What is a quasi experiment example?
What is a quasi experiment example? This is the most common type of quasi-experimental design. Example: Nonequivalent groups design You hypothesize that a new after-school program will lead to higher grades. You choose two similar groups of children who attend different schools, one of which implements the new program while the other does not. Why […]
Why is Shield 2p better than 2s?
Why is Shield 2p better than 2s? 2p has higher energy level because the negatively charged electron experiences less of an effective nuclear charge than the 2s electron. What happens to shielding when you go down a group? Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the […]
What constellations are visible in both hemispheres?
What constellations are visible in both hemispheres? Constellations such as Orion may be seen in both hemispheres, depending on your distance from the equator and the time of year. If you can’t see the entire constellation, it’s likely too close to the horizon line and are too far north or south for complete viewing. Are […]
