How do stars like the sun give us light?
When stars fuse hydrogen to make energy, the infared radiation radiates outward in all directions, and eventually reaches Earth.
Does Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy?
Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy
How does the heat Jupiter radiates compare to the energy it receives from the Sun?
Jupiter radiates back into space about twice the energy it gets from the Sun
The hypothesis that explains the release of energy during an earthquake is called the?
elastic rebound theory
WHAT IS THE PLACE CALLED WHERE STRESS IS RELEASED IN A EARTHQUAKE?
The place in the Earth's crust where stress is released during an earthquake is called the focus or hypocenter. It is the point underground where the rupture of the fault occurs and energy is released in the form of seismic waves. This is the actual source of an earthquake.
When a earthquake occurs energy radiates in all directions from what source?
The location inside the Earth where an earthquake begins is called the focus. The point at the Earth's surface directly above the focus is called the epicenter. The strongest shaking happens at the epicenter.
Seismic wave?
the energy released by an earthquake that travels in all direction from the focus
When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?
what does the energy come out as when a shift occurs in the earths crust called
Is an earthquake a mechanical wave?
Yes, an earthquake is a mechanical wave. Movement (oscillations) in geologic formations generate mechanical energy that is transferred into surrounding rock. That mechanical energy radiates out from the focus of the quake, and we can feel or even see the effects at distance.
What is the amount of energy released by an earthquake called?
This is known as the magnitude of the earthquake.
The energy of an earthquake called seismic waves originates from a point called the?
the energy of an earthquake, called seismic waves,originates from a point called the ? epicenter
How do people recover solar energy?
solar energy comes from the sun and the sun radiates it when the sun radiates it it becomes to energy then that energy comes electricity
How do stars like the sun give us light?
When stars fuse hydrogen to make energy, the infared radiation radiates outward in all directions, and eventually reaches Earth.
Is it true that chemical reactions produce the energy that the sun radiates out into space?
Yes this is true it is called nuclear fusion.
Does Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy?
Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy
How does the sun lose energy?
It radiates energy into space in the form of electromagnetic energy.
How does the sun lose its energy?
It radiates energy into space in the form of electromagnetic energy.
