What are the comparative and superlative of the word closely?
Closely itself doesn't have a comparative or superlative, but it is derived from "close". For this, the answer would be closer/closest.
What can federalists be closely associated with?
Federalists can be closely associated with those who believe in a strong central government. Their influence led to the United States Constitution.
What do closely spaced contour lines on a topographic map indicate?
Closely spaced contour line on a topographic map shows that the land is steep.
What does a Richter scale measure on an earthquake?
RICHTER SCALEThe Richter scale (known as the local magnitude scale to seismologists) was originally developed to measure small to moderate magnitude earthquakes in southern California by Charles Richter and Beno Gutenberg. The numerical levels indicate the energy released by a particular quake. The numerical value is obtained from the logarithm of the maximum amplitude of seismic waves as recorded on a seismometer. This value is then scaled to account for the distance from the epicentre of the earthquake to the seismometer so as to allow the value to be correlated with the local magnitude readings from other seismometers in differing locations (as seismic waves lose their energy as they propagate through the earth so if this correction was not made, then different seismometer stations at different distances would give differing Richter magnitudes for the same earthquake). The Richter magnitude measurement produced by this methodology in theory has no limit and may be positive or negative.As stated above, the Richter scale itself is a logarithmic mathematical formula which is calibrated so that a ten fold increase in amplitude relates to a single whole number increase on the scale (e.g. an earthquake with a Richter magnitude of 5 has seismic waves with a maximum amplitude 10 times larger than those for a magnitude 4). It has a number of practical limitations, in that it is poor at recording earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 7 and at distances greater than 650 km from a seismometer.The equation for calculating the Richter magnitude (MR) is shown below:MR = (Log10A) - (Log10A0)WhereA = maximum zero to peak amplitude of seismic wave (mm) recorded.A0 = Empirical function derived from the distance from seismometer station to earthquake epicentreLog10A0 From 0 to 200 km distance:Log10A0 = 0.15 - 1.6 log(distance in km)Between 200 and 600 km distance by:Log10A0 = 3.38 - 3.0 log(distance in km)Due to the limitations described above (distance and maximum size of measurable earthquake), it has since been replaced by the Moment Magnitude Scale in the measurement of large earthquakes - for information on this, please see the related question.the richter scale reads the magnitude of earthquake.
Which art movement is closely associated with the Reformation?
The Northern Renaissance.
Auto-trophic activity in plant cells is most closely associated with the oranganelles called?
Auto-trophic activity in plant cells is most closely associated with the organelles called chloroplasts.
How is the formation mountain belts related to tectonic plate boundaries?
Closely spaced tectonic plates shake the Earth and closely spaced mountains make a mountan belt.
The agricultural activity most closely associated with Australia's moistest environment is?
Dairying is the agricultural activity most closely associated with Australia's moistest environment. Australia is the world's third biggest exporter of beef.
The brain waves most closely associated with mental activity are?
beta waves
Which magnitude scale is more closely related to the cause of an earthquake than to th e effect?
The moment magnitude scale because it tell how much energy comes from the focus which is where the earthquake starts. The Richter scale just tells how much damage an earthquake does around the epicenter.
The simultaneous processing of information on many parallel tracks is most closely associated with?
The simultaneous processing of information on many parallel tracks is most closely associated with the concept of multitasking. It involves handling multiple tasks or activities at the same time or switching rapidly between them. This ability is crucial in today's fast-paced environment but can also lead to reduced efficiency and increased stress if not managed effectively.
How would you define an activity in the context of activity-based management?
An activity is a business task, or an aggregation of closely related purposeful actions, with clear beginning and ending points, that consumes resources and produces outputs. An activity could be a single task or a simple process.
What city council member represents the Rangeview high school Area?
Renie Peterson- if you look closely the map of her ward includes Rangeview in the boundaries
How fast do solar flares travel?
About 2 million mph. Pretty Fast ! That answer may be referring to "coronal mass ejections" rather than the closely related phenomenon of solar flares.
Do light is visible to human eye when it passes through vacuum?
The process you describe is quite intimately involved with, and closely related to, the phenomenon of seeing the sun, the moon, the planets, and the stars, on Earth.
What huge desert is in North America?
The largest desert in North America is the Great Basin Desert followed closely by the Chihuahuan Desert. It depends upon where the 'experts' draw the boundaries.
Stained yeast were added to a paramecium culture and some of the yeast were ingested by the paramecium. This activity is most closely associated with which life function?
nutrition :)
