The factor that has the greatest effect on the melting point of a crystalline solid is the type of bonding among the particles. Heat breaks the bonds that hold the particles together.

What factors in an atmosphere seem to have the greatest effect on the amount of radiation received from the sun?

The ozone layer has the greatest effect on the amount of ultraviolet radiation received at the earth's surface from the Sun. Cloud formation and atmospheric thickness, in combination with solar angle, have the greatest effect on the amount of visible and infrared radiation received at the earth's surface from the sun


What is a controlled variable in an experiment?

controlled variable is the factor that leaved unchanged to investigate any only one factor that has been changed in the other experiment and the effect of not altering this factor.


Experiments that involve two tests that are identical except for one factor?

A controlled experiment involves two tests that are identical except for one factor, which is the independent variable. The effect of the independent variable is the one being tested.


A variable measured in an experiment?

The variable measured in an experiment is called the dependent variable" the outcome factor". In contrast, the independent variable is the experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable who effect is being studied.


Is the increased cooling that a wind can cause called the Coriolis effect?

Wind Chill is the scale you need. In the late 1930s a Boy Scout was invited to travel to the Antarctic with Byrd's expedition, and this person was Paul Siple. One of the experiments he devised was to measure the rate of cooling in various wind strengths and temperatures, of water filled bottles. From such simple beginnings, Wind Chill measurement was started.
