Why does calcite show twinkling effect?
Calcite has a uniaxial indicatrix with a ellipsoid shape. The two permitted vibration directions (transmitting the ordinary and extraordinary rays), cause twinkling to be observed on rotation.
What is the lowest point on mars?
The lowest point relative to "sea level" of Mars (officially measured relative to the "reference ellipsoid" for Mars) is Hellas Planitia. This huge impact crater is about 7km (4.5 miles) below the reference ellipsoid (below "sea level"). By comparison, the Challenger Depth in the Marianas Trench is the lowest point on the Earth's surface and is about 11km below sea level. (The lowest land elevation is the Dead Sea -- 422m below sea level. Water likes to fill in hole on the earth's surface!)
What element is used to make artificial joints for bones?
Titanium
Water works to expand joints in rocks because it expands as it evaporate?
False
What does freeze-thaw mean?
it's when water freezes between the joints (vertical line weaknesses on rocks) and melt again, this action creates the spaces between the joints to get bigger and eventually the rock is separated from its original peace. this is freeze thaw.
What is the name of the type of the joint found in the toes?
Hinge joints, ball-and-socket joints, ellipsoid joints, saddle joints and pivot joints.
Do synovial joints permit little movement of the articulating bones?
No, synovial joints joints are freely movable joints. There are six types of synovial joints: gliding (arthrodial), hinge (ginglymus), pivot (trochoid), ellipsoid, saddle, and ball and socket.
What kind of synovial joint is a multiaxial joint?
Ball-and-Socket Joints
What is an ellipsoidal joint in the body?
An ellipsoid joint, also called a condyloid joint, is classified as a synovial joint. An example would be your metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) in your hands, between the matacarpal and first phalanx of the finger (your knuckle). It allows movement in two directions.
What kind of joints are between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones?
The joint is technically called "metacarpophalangeal", and it is a condyloid joint.
Are ellipsoid joints the same as condyloid joints?
no it is not. A condyloid joint is more like the ball and socket joint, but more slight. A saddle joint is two concave surfaces on top of each other, like a saddle
What shape starts with E?
Ellipsoid.
What is the name of the knuckle joint?
The interphalangeal joints in the fingers are synovial hinge joints. The thumb metacarpal is a saddle joint. The metacarpo-phalangeal joints are synovial ellipsoid joints.
What is atlanto-occipital joint?
it is one among the craniovertebral joints. it is an ellipsoid type of synovial joint. articulating bones: proximally- occipital condyles. distally- superior articular facests of the atlas. movements: flexion, extension and lateral flexion of neck.
Is a ellipsoid a polyhedron?
No.
Which shape has no vertices and two faces?
A hyperboloid.A sphere, ellipsoid, toroid or paraboloid intersected by a plane.There are probably others.A hyperboloid.A sphere, ellipsoid, toroid or paraboloid intersected by a plane.There are probably others.A hyperboloid.A sphere, ellipsoid, toroid or paraboloid intersected by a plane.There are probably others.A hyperboloid.A sphere, ellipsoid, toroid or paraboloid intersected by a plane.There are probably others.
What is a ellipsoid?
an ellipsoid is the less formal name for a geoid which is a shape which is like a sphere but is bulgy round the middle
