What else can I help you with?
Is there a scale used to measure the intensity of a heat wave?
Yes, the Heat Index is a scale used to measure the intensity of a heat wave by combining air temperature and relative humidity to determine how hot it feels to the human body. The higher the Heat Index, the more dangerous the heat wave can be.
How long does a heat wave last?
A heat wave typically lasts for a few days to a few weeks, but the duration can vary depending on the location and intensity of the heat wave. Heat waves are generally defined as prolonged periods of excessively hot weather relative to the normal conditions for that region.
What is a story of the Russian heat wave?
The Russian heat wave of 2010 was one of the most severe in the country's history, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in some regions. The heat wave led to extensive wildfires, crop failures, and a spike in mortality rates. The extreme weather event highlighted the potential impacts of climate change and raised concerns about Russia's vulnerability to future heat waves.
Compare and contrast a cold wave and a heat wave?
they are both can formed by the same high pressure system . the heat waves are extended periods of above-normal temperatures . but the cold wave is an extended periods of below-normal temperatures .
What do people call it when there are many days of hot weather?
Heat wave
How is a earthquake wave sensed?
with a machine
How is a sound wave sensed?
As a result of its viberation
Can infra red radiation be seen by humans?
NO not possible but could be sensed by the touch ie sensed as heat.
Why are heat sensors located just under the epidermis?
so heat can be sensed faster
How are sound waves sensed?
Sound is vibration that propagates to be a audible mechanical wave. It uses pressure and displacement, through air or water to be sensed whether by hearing or feeling.
What is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that includes wavelengths that can be sensed as heat?
infrared
Is heat wave and heat stroke the same?
no. a heat wave is weather, a heat stroke is a health condition.
When is the famous heat wave recorded?
In1904 there was a long heat wave.
Who beat the heat wave in Heat Wave?
everyone that is still alive??
Can a heat wave be snow and heat?
No. A heat wave is a prolonged spell of extremely hot weather. There would be no snow. Rain is not usual during a heat wave either.
How is a seismic wave sensed?
seismic waves are sensed with these special technology monitors that have the power of bats . bats cant see but when there going towards something they feel vibrations then they know were there going
True or false only radiant energy that is reflected is changed to thermal energy?
Therm means heat. Hence thermal energy is heat energy. Heat is sensed in the form of electromagnetic waves when transferred through free space. The same heat is sensed in the form of kinetic energy of molecules in case of fluids. The same heat is sensed in the form of vibrational energy in case of solids. Being in electromagnetic wave if the frequency becomes less than that of visible then it is named as INFRA RED radiation. So there comes a possibility of conversion of radiations of higher frequency into lower frequency due to reflection phenomenon. Hence the answer for the above question is TRUE.
