Light reaches areas that are not in direct light by means of?
Light reaches areas that are not in direct light by means of indirect light. The indirect light reaches the areas by reflecting off other surfaces.
When you start a car and has high rpm is that bad?
It is not good to rev any engine immediately after starting it. The lubrication system has not fully charged and oil has not reached all the parts immediately after startup. The oil is also thick and is not flowing as it will when the engine reaches full operating temperatures. So, the answer is Yes, that is a bad thing.
What is the ocean-floor evidence of pole reversals?
in magma and lava, there are magnetic minerals, called magnetite. When new magma reaches the surface, these minerals start to align with the existing magnetic 'field' around the earth, starting at the North pole, and ending at the South pole. once the magma cools, these minerals remain at this inclination. These rocks often form on the sea floor, where 2 plates are moving apart. Every 10,000 years (or so), the magnetic poles switch. So it would start at the south pole, to the north pole. This means the inclination of the minerals would swap in new magma. So as the sea continues to spread, there is a striped appearance on the sea floor, where the are symmetrical bands of alternating magnetically inclined rocks. Hope that helps :)
What determines a fuel's suitability?
When the methane reaches the top of the surface
When you look at a photograph where does the light reaches your eye originate from?
from the light sorce
How heat reaches Earth?
electro-magnetic radiation(sunlight)
Does the temperature of a magnet effect its magnetic field?
Not until the magnet reaches its "Curie point" or temperature. Then magnetic activity ceases.
What process do particles of matter release energy?
When it reaches its boiling point.
What are the steps the suns energy goes thourgh the reach earth?
In order to get to Earth (through a vacuum) it must be converted into radiation. Note that some energy reaches Earth as the "solar wind - mostly charged particles. This is a very small percentage.
How do aerosol particles affect insolation?
They scatter sunlight, reducing the amount that reaches the surface as direct radiation (increasing the amount that reaches as diffuse).
When food reaches the stomach mashed up food particles mix with what?
Gastric acid / Gastric Juices
How has the study of the sun improved your understanding of aurora's?
When the sun sends off a solar flare, the flare eventually reaches the earth's atmosphere, (after about 16 and a half hours). This then charges the particles in the atmosphere. The Earth's magnetic field then channels the particles to the north and south poles. They then react with the gases in the iosphere. Create moving, colourful lights, or auroras. So by studying the sun, which is related to auroras, we can improve our understanding of the sun.

I have sms disabled with AT and T and I accidentally sent a mms will it charge me?
Yes, you will be charged for the MMS if it actually reaches the recipient
What happens water freezes?
it it turns into a solid and then melts right away because if it reaches 0 Celsius it reaches its freezing point which allows the particles to disintegrate and it no longer can keep freezing.
Why does lightning appear in a jagged path?
Lightning will generally follow the path of least resistance. It acts just like water flowing downhill, which rarely (if ever) flows in a straight line. Lightning will follow a crooked path in order to reserve energy, jumping to and from charged particles in the air, until it reaches the ground.
What you can make visible by sprinkling iron fillings around a magnet?
By sprinkling iron fillings around a magnet the magnetic field can be shown. If the magnet is the opposite charge then the iron they will be repelled by the magnet showing how far the magnetic field reaches.
