What storm has strong winds but isn't a tornado and not a hurricane?
Severe thunderstorms would probably be the answer. They can produce strong winds in more than one way. First, they can produce winds via a downburst which is a strong downdraft that occurs during a thunderstorm, and the causes strong, straight-line winds that can sometimes exceed 130 mph. In some cases downbursts can occur along a line of severe storms, resulting in a phenomenon called a derecho. Another way thunderstorms can produce strong winds is through a rear-flank downdraft or RFD, a descending mass of dry air associated with the mesocyclone, or rotating updraft, of a supercell. The RFD can produce winds in excess of 100 mph. It is also believed to play an essential role in tornado formation.
What is it called when the earth makes wind blow in a curve?
Its the Coriolis effect. In fact, the wind is trying to blow straight and the earth is turning under it in a circular motion. The resulting path of the wind on the earth is a curved line.
What will happen if the correct concentration of agar is not used?
the more agar in your gel the less far and more difficult it will be for your samples will run, the less agar, your samples may not run straight and have a higher probability to be bunched up
What causes a microburst?
A microburst is a powerful downdraft that descend through a thunderstorm. When they reach the ground they produce damaging winds that in some cases can reach as high as 150 mph. A microburst is different from a tornado in that: Air travels downwards and outwards in a microburst, while it travels inwards and upwards in a tornado. A microburst produces straight-line winds while a tornado produces circular winds.
Curly hair is recessive and straight hair is dominant A woman with curly hair marries a man who is homozygous dominant for straight hair. What are the outcomes for their children?
75% chance of having straight hair and 25 % chance having curly Alleles Curly (woman) Curly Straight Straight Straight (guy) Straight Straight Curly
When you log transform a power function the resulting function is a straight line?
Yes, the resulting function is a straight line. This is the source:http://www.mathbench.umd.edu/mod207_scaling/page10.htm

What point on a graph represents ohm's law?
There is no 'point on a graph' which represents Ohm's Law. It's the shape of the graph that determines whether Ohm's Law applies.If a graph is drawn showing the resulting variation in current for changes in voltage then, for Ohm's Law to apply, the graph must be a straight line.If the resulting graph is not a straight line, then Ohm's Law doesn't apply.
How do you prove graphically that a reaction is first order?
If a reaction is first order, a graph of reaction rate against reagent concentration will be a straight line.
What happened to the titanic at its last moment?
The aft section of the ship pointed straight upright, then fell back again at an angle and planed under the surface. To the amazement of many in the lifeboats, it caused virtually no downdraft. It went down silently, with barely a whisper. The time was exactly 2:20 AM.
Did Allied power knew about all the atrocities that were committed at German concentration camps?
The straight answer appears to be no. The camps were known, the scale of the inhumanity was wholly unbelievable.
How do you find the rate order of a concentration of a substance using a graph?
The rate order of a concentration of a substance using a graph depends on the constant k. For a reactant concentration versus time graph, k is minus and the order is zero. The same goes for a logarithm reactant concentration versus time graph where the order is one. But for an inverse of reactant concentration versus time graph, the order is two and k is positive. All these graphs should have straight lines and k is the value of the slope.
What would happen if the gene for a curled tail was not passed from a pig to its offspring?
Straight tails are the wild type configuration. Straight tails are recessive and curly tails are dominant. So a Pig would have to be Cc (heterozyous) or cc (homozygous) for the strait tail characteristic to be passed on to it's offspring. The resulting offspring would only have the potential for straight tails if the other parent carried the recessive, straight tailed gene or was straight tailed.

What keeps a tree straight?
you can put a straight peace of wood and tie a string around and it will grow and be straightA bit more:If you're asking why a tree grows straight up, it's because trees, like all plants, grow towards light. And since the sun is up, the trees grow upwards, towards the light, resulting in the main trunk of the tree growing straight up.
What associate's degree should i get if i want to receive a bachelors in environmental science?
You do not need an associates degree to get a bachelors, one is just more extensive than the other. If I were you, I would go straight for the bachelors.
What are the two polarities used with direct current welding?
reverse polarity and straight polarity The answer is right but a bit of furthur explanation is required. Polarity can be changed in DC output welding sets. The heat of the welding arc is concentrated on the positive terminal. So when thick plates are welded as more concentration of heat is required on the job the job is kept +ve ie. straight polarity is used. For thin plates concentration of heat is on the filler rod ,so reverse polarity is used.
