What is the curve along the top of a liquids surface?
Meniscus.
Impulses from the sense organs travel to the brain along what?
Sensory neurons
What causes an upwelling?
Along coasts, this is caused by winds blowing at a right angle to the shoreline. The surface water is pushed away, bringing deep, cold water (rich in nutrients) to the surface.
Explain the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering?
In chemical weathering, there is a chemical reaction that causes weathering. Mechanical weathering is caused by fire, abrasions of water along a surface, animals, or freezing and thawing.
What process can make denser water rise to the top?
upwelling Denser water from the deep ocean can come up to the surface in an upwelling Generally, an upwelling occurs along the coast when wind blows water strongly away from the shore. As the surface water is blown away from the shore, colder water from below comes up to take its place.
What does surface waves travel through?
surface waves can only travel along the surface.
Surface Waves?
waves that travels only on the surface
Why are some currents cold and some warm?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Why are some density currents warm and others cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Does a surface wave go through the body of the earth or along the surface?
Surface waves (as the name suggests) travel along Earth's surface. Seismic waves that travel through earth's interior are known instead as body waves.
Do seismic waves travel along earths surface?
Yes, Surface waves, a type of seismic wave, travels along the surface, or appears to, as it loses energy exponentially as it goes away from the surface.
What do different waves travel through?
surface waves can only travel along the surface.
What are the seismic waves that travel along earths surface and produce the most severe ground movements?
What does a seismograph use to record the drums vibrations
What are waves generated by an earthquake that travel through earth or along its surface?
These are known as seismic waves.
Movement along the earths surface caused by an earthquake?
Collide
What is the difference between primary waves and surface waves?
Ground waves are radio waves which travel along the earths surface while sky waves use the earths ionosphere to reflect signals to the desired destination
