Why are there two plateaus on the heating curves for water that begins at -15c and ends at 120c?
The two plateaus on the heating curve for water represent phase changes: the first plateau occurs during the melting of ice into water at 0°C, and the second occurs during the boiling of water into steam at 100°C. During these phase changes, the temperature remains constant as the heat energy is used to break the intermolecular bonds rather than increase the temperature. The initial plateau reflects the energy required to overcome the solid-state bonds, while the second plateau corresponds to the transition from liquid to gas.

Why are there two plateaus on the heating curve for water that begins at 15 Celsius and ends at 120 Celsius?
The two plateaus on the heating curve for water represent the phase changes from solid to liquid (melting) and from liquid to gas (boiling). During these transitions, the temperature remains constant as energy is absorbed to break intermolecular forces and change the state of water, rather than increasing the temperature.
How do the earth plates start the tsunami?
When the Earths plates crack water starts to rise and the lands feature curves the water and the tsunami begins
What is the difference between boiling points and heating curves?
Boiling something,for example water,is when the liquid HAS to be above 100 degrees Celsius. Heating something is just making it WARMER
How would the heating curve for glass be different from the heating curve for water?
The heating curve for glass would show a gradual and steady increase in temperature until it reaches its softening point, where it begins to deform. In contrast, the heating curve for water would show a relatively stable temperature increase until it reaches its boiling point, at which point the temperature remains constant until all the water has evaporated.
What liquid's meniscus curve up?
Water's meniscus curves up. Mercury's meniscus curves down.
What are some of the landforms and bodies of water?
mountains, lakes, plateaus, and valleys.
What is a substance whose meniscus would curve downward?
Mercury's meniscus curves down. Water's meniscus curves up.
Another name for a hot water heating system is a?
Hot water baseboard heating is called a Hydronic heating system.
What happens to liquid water when it is heated?
When water is heated it begins to vaporize into the air as steam. If the water is allowed to boil for a while, it will totally evaporate into the air.
Solar water heating?

It curves around a bay the Hudson Bay.
