What can you learn from the scale bar on a map?
some maps has different meaningsi don't understand
Who uses climate maps?
scientist use climate maps when they are studying the changes of things in different climates
Why is that you can take you blood pressure reading 3 times and get 3 different results?
Because blood pressure changes.
What are your rights if the building where you are renting the apartment is foreclosed?
If your property is foreclosed, either you have the same landlord until the property actually changes hands, or you have a new landlord who can exercise his own rules, including evictions. If your landlord still has control over the property he can still collect rent, and he can still evict you if you don't pay it. When the new landlord takes over you must follow that landlord's instructions for rent payment or vacating the premises.
Why does the length and position of my shadow change as I walk towards a lamppost and away from the lamppost?
Light leaves the lamp and travels in straight lines from its point source. As you move away from the source, the angle between you and the light changes and this the length and position of your shadow changes.
How does light refract?
it refracts because it travels in different velocities and other colors of light travel in different speeds When light crosses a boundary between mediums, it changes speeds, and it bends or changes the angle that it is travailing at when it crosses the boundary.
Which characteristic of a wave changes as the wave travels across a boundary between two different media?
The essential characteristic that changes is the speed of the wave. The wavelength also changes. Amplitude and polarization can change. What does not change is the frequency.
International Date Line The term for the boundary between night and daylight on the Earths surface is?
The International Date Line is where the date changes, not the boundary between night and day. There is no name for that boundary, because it always moves.
When a wave approaches a boundary between two media obliquely does its direction of motion change or remains the same?
The direction of the wave changes if its speed is different in the two media.
What Is the between physical changes and chemical change?
Physical changes is change in property. Ex) change from solid to liquid....ice to water. Chemical change changes to different substances. Ex) rotting of fruit.
Why do scientists recognize a boundary between layers at about 12 kilometers above sea level?
the way the altitude changes the temperature changes
How can you tell the difference between physical and chemical properties?
You can tell the difference by knowing that a physical property changes shape and that a chemical property changes the substance.
What changes in earth's surface that happen at a convergent boundary with those happen at a divergent boundary?
What changes in earth's surface that happen at a convergent boundary with those happen at a divergent boundary?
Explain why all colours refract at different angles?
When a beam of light crosses the boundary between a vacuum and another medium, or between two different media, the wavelength of the light changes, but the frequency remains constant. If the beam of light is not orthogonal (or rather normal) to the boundary, the change in wavelength results in a change in the direction of the beam. This change of direction is known as refraction. Which basically means each color is on a Different "wavelength" which causes it to go in a slightly different angel after it hits a refraction-able object
Is hardness a change in chemical property?
There are many different possible property changes in a chemical change. You must post the specific reaction for anyone to tell you exactly.
What was the boundary between Korea and Manchuria?
The boundary between Korea and Manchuria, also known as the Korean-Manchurian border, was primarily established along the Yalu River. This river served as a natural boundary dividing the two regions. The border has gone through some changes over time due to various historical events and political agreements between the two countries.
A physical property of a substance can only be observed if the substance changes into a different substance?
No, a physical property DOES NOT change the identity of a substance. That would be a chemical property which DOES change the identity.
