What is the term for a ridge of coral in the sea that may be covered by high tides and exposed at low tides?
A coral reef.
How did harry hess's hypothsis explain seafloor movement?
It explained seafloor movement because he researched that hot/less dense material rises to Earths crust, at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. At the hole the magma cools making new seafloor. He also found out that there were new rocks near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and old ones farther away. Hess also theorized that this seafloor has to filter somewhere- this somewhere is called the subduction zone. The subduction zone is an area where old seafloor sinks and the plates melt it forms into magma, building pressure within the Earth. When there is too much pressure the Earth lets out this energy in Arcs, Volcanic islands, etc.
Has a tornado ever hit Arizona?
Yes, just tonight, in fact (1/21/10): "SR 101 between Scottsdale and Hayden Road. A Tornado is reported having touched down in Desert Ridge area near SR 101 and Hayden Road according to National Weather Service. Evacuation of Barrett Jackson event reported by Scottsdale PD."
Which type of fingerprint pattern requires that you know which hand it came from before you can identify it?
loop. it the ridge comes in and ends pointing toward the ulna (bone in arm aligned with little finger), it is an ulnar loop. if the loop comes in and ends pointing toward the radius (bone in arm aligned with thumb), it is a radial loop. Radial loops are quite rare, occurring in around 4% of loops.
What is Atlas in astronomy?
Atlas is an inner satellite of Saturn. Atlas was discovered by Richard Terrile in 1980 (some time before November 12) from Voyager photos and was designated S/1980 S 28. In 1983 it was officially named after Atlas of Greek mythology, because it "holds the rings on its shoulders" like the Titan Atlas held the sky up above the Earth. It is also designated as Saturn XV. Atlas is the closest satellite to the sharp outer edge of the A ring, and was long thought to be a shepherd satellite for this ring. However, now it is known that the outer edge of the ring is instead maintained by a 7:6 orbital resonance with the larger but more distant moons Janus and Epimetheus. In 2004 a faint, thin ring, temporarily designated R/2004 S 1, was discovered within Atlas's orbit. High-resolution images taken in June 2005 by Cassini reveal a saucer-shaped moon with a large smooth equatorial ridge. The most likely explanation for this unusual and prominent structure is that ring material swept up by the moon accumulates on the moon, with a strong preference for the equator due to the ring's thinness. In fact, the size of the equatorial ridge is comparable with the expected size of Atlas's Roche lobe. This would mean that for any further particles attempting to accumulate on the equator, the centrifugal force overcomes Atlas's tiny gravity and they will be lost. Atlas is significantly perturbed by Prometheus and to a lesser degree by Pandora, leading to excursions in longitude of up to 600 km (~0.25°) away from the precessing keplerian orbit with a rough period of about 3 years. Since the orbits of Prometheus and Pandora are chaotic, it is suspected that Atlas's may be as well.
Which mountain range above or below sea level is the longest in the world -the Andes the rocky mountain or the mid-Atlantic ridge?

What is the longest mountain ridge in the world?
The longest mountain ridge in the world is the Andes. The Andes is in South America and spans 7 countries for 4,700 miles.
How long is the longest mountain chain?
The longest mountain chain is the Mid-Oceanic Ridge, which runs under all 7 oceans and spans from around California to North of Greenland. It is estimated to be 49,700 miles long. The longest above seal level mountain range is the Andes Mountain Range, which runs down the west border of South America. It is estimated to be 4,300 miles long.
