What type of membrane contains fluid between the visceral and perIetal layers?
The visceral and parietal layers are belong to a type of epithelial membrane called serous membranes. Serous fluid is a fluid between the two layers that helps them slide past each other without causing friction.
What is the pressure causing ice layers to slid over each other called?
Basal slip occurs when the glacier rests on a slope. Pressure causes a small amount of ice at the bottom of the glacier to melt, creating a thin layer of water. This reduces friction enough that the glacier can slide down the slope. Loose soil underneath a glacier can also cause basal slip.
Can metal atoms slide over each other?
Yes they can. They form a giant lattice meaning that the layers can slide past each other. That's why pure metals aren't really that strong.
Why can graphite used in a pencil?
Graphite is strong and not poisonous.it is soft & slipperyconsists of layers which slide over each other
How does the bonding of Graphite explain Graphite's lubricanting properties?
Graphite only forms 3 covalent bonds and is arranged in layers so the layers can slide over each other easily.
What builds up when pieces of earths crust try to slide past each other?
Pressure
Is it true that because the bonds between layers of carbon atoms are weak layers of fullerenes slide easily past one another?
True, becauseGraphite is a soft, slippery substance, attributed to the fact that the layers are not chemically bonded and can slide over one another.
When rock layers break the resulting surface they break and slide on is a?
A Fault
What forms when the rock layers slip or slide along the crack?
Faulting.
Why machines are frequently oiled or greased?
Metal does not slide well against other metal. A layer of grease or oil is added to separate the layers of metal.
Which layers does Earth's tectonic plates sit atop and slide along?
Asthenosphere
What is most likely to happen along a transform fault boundary?
At these boundaries, the rocks grind and slide against each other, causing earthquakes.
