Do earths surfaces absorb thermal energy at the same rate?
No, because the land heats up faster and cools up faster than water.
The unit for measuring the rate at which light energy is rediated from a source is what?
The unit for measuring the rate at which light energy is radiated from a source is the lumen. The lumen is symbolized as lm.
What is true about the rate of evaporation in a dynamic equilibrium between the liquid state and the gas state?
It Occurs as water moleclues absorb energy and it also occurs at the surface of liqud.
Is water absorbed at the same rate in different kinds of soil?
No, different soils absorb rain water at different rates.
Do different soils absorb water at the same rate?
No. Here's a table showing different soil types and their absorption rate. http://www.greenviewblog.com/2005/04/soil_type_and_w.html
Why rate of evporation increases with increase in surface area?
increased surface area allows more particles to absorb more heat energy which breaks the intermolecular bonds between them at a faster rate, hence increases the rate of evaporation
What is percolation rate?
percolation rate of water is different in different types of soil . it is the highest in the sandy soil and least in the clayey soil. to calculate the percolation rate use this formula- percolation rate (ml/min)amount of water(ml)/percolation time percolation refers to the ability of the soil to absorb water or liquids
What is the major source of energy that powers the movement of water throughout the environment?
The main source of energy in the water cycle is the sun/Solar radiation (sunlight).the source of energy that drives the water cycle is the sun because since the sun's heat makes the water evaporate which will led to the whole process of the water cycle and the process will keep on repeating.The water cycle or hydrologic cycle is driven by both short wave radiation from the sun, and long wave (infrared) radiation from the earth.
Does skinning a bean help it absorb the water faster?
Yes bean seeds are provided with very hard and impervious seed coat. Water enters in it through micropyle only. If the seed coat is removed (skinned), the hydrophilic proteins inside will absorb water at a faster rate.
What does water do in radiation shielding and does it work as an absorber of neutrons?
H2O provides an energy transfer for radiant energy. The volume of H2O per radiant energy is proportional. The visual energy transfer may be measured by H2O's "change of state" rate. Regarding H20 as an absorber of electrons, oxygen has a larger share of electrons. This is how one Oxygen atom and two Hydrogen atoms bond to create H2O. See "polar covalent bond" and "electronegativity" for greater depth. If a flux of electrons bombard H2O, the molecular compound will change in composition -OR- reform in an entirely different molecular compound.

Why does heating increase rate of water evaporates?
More water molecules gain energy and can escape from the liquid.
