Does radiation therapy effect vertebrae when applied through neck?
It certainly can have wide spread effects, particularly close to the site of radiation.
What is a wing in ground craft?
Is a multimodal craft which, when in its main operational mode, flies in close proximity to the surface by utilising surface effect action
Do jellyfish live close to the surface or deep in the sea?
close to the surface
How far does the nuclear radiation may reached like the case of fukushima japan nuclear blast?
Technically, the radiation will eventually reach the whole surface of the earth. The amounts, however are very small for everywhere except places somewhat close to the plant, too small to have a measurable health effect. Right now, environmental questions about the impact focus mostly on the area within 80 kilometers (50 miles) of the plant.
Why the fishes were swimming close to the surface of the water after feed?
because they want to swim close to the surface
18) The amount of radiation that an individual absorbs depends on?
On the amount of radiation emitted; on how close the individual is to the source of the radiation; on any objects in between which might absorb part of the radiation.
What keeps Earth's atmosphere close to the surface?
The gravitational pull keeps the Earth's atmosphere close to the surface...
Why is the air so close to the surface of the earth?
The air is close to the surface of the earth because gravity holds it there
Is everything inside a single cell close to the surface?
depends. how close do you mean. Because technically everything in the cell is close to the surface because of how small it is.
What is the anatomical term that indicates a structure close to the surface?
A medical term that means at or close to the surface is superficial.
How do you get the trapped explorer out in the app god finger?
what i did was zoom in real close and striked it with lightning
What causes the major wind currents on earth's surface?
Basic answer: Solar radiation and the Coriolos effect. Solar radiation causes differential heating of the surface of the Earth. Solar radiation heats the surface of the Earth with varying intensity depending on location, which in turn warms the air near its surface due to ambient heat. As air heats up and expands, its pressure decreases (PV=nRT). Air naturally moves from areas of high pressure to low pressure, creating wind. The "major" wind currents, like the jetstream, are a result of the phenomenon described above on a larger scale (global). Areas near the equator receive much more solar radiation on a daily basis than areas near the poles. This warm air from the equator wants to move and mix with colder air near the poles. Also affecting this pattern is the difference in solar radiation absorbed by the oceans and continents. Solid land masses are heated and cooled more easily than large bodies of water. Other factors affecting the amount of solar radiation received include the tilt of the Earth relative to the sun (seasons), and the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit (the distance from the sun to the Earth varies. when they are close together, solar radiation increases). In fact, ocean currents also are created by differences in solar radiation and the Coriolis effect. If you really want to go into more detail about solar radiation, you may consider the albedo of different surfaces of the Earth. Albedo is the ability of a surface to reflect light (or the ability to reflect solar radiation). For example, the albedo of a glacier or snow field is very high compared to the albedo of a forest. Generally, the darker a surface is, the less light it will reflect. So, not only do areas near the equator receive more solar radiation, they also typically absorb a higher percentage of it when compared to areas near the poles (rain forests vs. glaciers and snow covered areas). The Coriolis effect describes some aspects of the interaction between the surface of the Earth and its atmosphere as two separate entities. As the Earth rotates, it exerts a frictional force on the atmosphere, which sort of drag the atmosphere along with the surface of the Earth. This dragging effect causes wind to be deflected in a certain manner (do a web search for more info). The Coriolis effect varies with latitude. The radius of the Earth (measured east-west) is greatest at the equator. So, areas near the equator have a higher velocity as the Earth spins compared to more stagnant areas near the poles (think of the spokes on a wheel - velocity increases further away from the center of the wheel). The Coriolis effect explains why hurricanes and other low pressure systems rotate counter-clockwise in the Northern hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
