False
False. Ice is *less* dense than water. If it weren't, water would freeze from the bottom up, killing all the fish etc during the winter. Water contracts as it is gets colder, but at the moment it freezes, crystals form. These are hard bonds that push the molecules farther apart, thinning the density of the water, and making ice remarkably strong. A few inches of ice can support the weight of a person.
True. Warm air has a higher capacity to hold water vapor compared to cool air because warm air molecules are more energetic and can spread farther apart, allowing them to accommodate more water vapor.
Yes, it is true that the pieces of the supercontinent Pangaea began to drift apart around 225 million years ago in a process known as continental drift. This movement eventually led to the formation of the current continents we see today.
False. The closer an earthquake is, the shorter the time difference between the arrival of P waves and S waves. P waves travel faster than S waves, so the time interval decreases as the distance to the earthquake epicenter decreases.
False. Earth is actually closest to the sun in early January, a position known as perihelion.
True. A rarefaction is a region in the medium where molecules are spread farther apart, leading to a decrease in density. This occurs in a longitudinal wave when the particles temporarily move apart.
False. The wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to its frequency. This means that higher frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, and lower frequency waves have longer wavelengths.
False. The frequency of a wave and its wavelength are inversely proportional - as the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases, and vice versa.
True. Venezuela is farther from the equator than Iran.
It is false.
False. The wavelength of light is inversely related to its frequency. Longer wavelengths have lower frequencies and vice versa.
False. An increase in frequency means a decrease in the wavelength and a decrease in frequency goes with an increase in the wavelength.
False
No, red is the longest wavelength of visible light, with the lowest frequency and the least energy. Violet light has the shortest wavelenght, with the highest frequency and the most energy (of visible light).
False. The magnetic force of attraction or repulsion between the magnetic poles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the poles. So farther apart two magnets the force between them becomes weaker.
It is false.
