The reason why the time zone lines follow irregular paths rather than straight lines, is to allow a number of small countries and islands to maintain a single time zone rather than being divided by these time zone lines. If an island is not very large, it just seems silly and a needless bother to have two time zones. So we just route the time zone line around it.
To avoid obstacles. It was easier to go around an obstacle than to move it.
Yes sound waves are longitudinal, rather than transverse, the oscillate parallel to the direction of travel
become is an irregular verb.
my question is which is the correct regular and irregular verbs: John has become a rather good actor or john has became a rather good actor.
The definition for the word longitudinal is "running lengthwise rather than across."
A longitudinal wave does not have a specific wavelength because it is measured by the distance between compressions or rarefactions, rather than the distance between wave crests.
Can't understand your question here. Both sentences are exactly the same both use the irregular verb become.
The energy of a longitudinal wave is related to its amplitude, frequency, and wavelength, rather than its direction of oscillation. Longitudinal waves can have high energy if they have a large amplitude and high frequency, but the presence of longitudinal motion alone does not determine the energy of the wave.
an irregular variation is one which occurs predictably and at random, usually over a very short time period. it is impossible to allow for irregular variations in forecasting rather, they are used to explain abnormalities after the event. hope this helps :-)
It refers to irregular verbs that don't form their past tense by adding "-ed" to the end of the verb.An example of an irregular verb is seek. The past tense of seek is sought rather than seeked.
No he is not, he is rather straight
No, in a longitudinal wave, the energy is transferred through the compression and rarefaction of the medium particles, rather than being absorbed by the spring. The spring may help transmit the wave, but it does not absorb the energy of the wave.
