What happens to the energy when sunlight hits earth at an angle smaller than ninety degrees?
THE energy is spread out over a larger area and is less intense
How strong is a magnitude 8 earthquake compared to a 7?
The amplitude (height) of the seismic waves in a magnitude 8 earthquake will be ten times larger than in a magnitude 7 quake. This equates to approximately 31 times more energy.
How is an earthquake magnitude scale related to the amounts of energy released by earthquaiew?
The larger the magnitude of the earthquake, the larger the energy to be released by the earthquake.
The seismic waves in a 6.1 magnitude earthquake are what times larger than those of a 3.1 magnitude earthquake?
10
What element has the larger first ionization energy cesium or potassium?
Potassium has a higher ionization energy than cesium.
What happens when a seismic wave grows increasingly larger?
The seismic wave's energy get's a-lot smaller
What happens to the energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows larger?
As the amplitude of a wave increases, the energy increases. In general terms the energy transported by a wave is proportional to the amplitude squared.
When heat energy causes an object to become larger what happens to the object?
It expands
What happens to kinetic energy when matter gets warmer?
The average kinetic energy of the individual particles gets larger in this case.
What happens to the kinetic energy when matter gets warmer?
The average kinetic energy of the individual particles gets larger in this case.
What makes waves small?
Very small seismic activity causes small waves to occur. The bigger the waves get the larger the seismic activity is.
What happens to the energy when sunlight hits earth at an angle smaller than ninety degrees?
THE energy is spread out over a larger area and is less intense
Does a primary seismic wave have a larger shadow zone than a secondary wave?
no, an s-wave shadow zone is way larger
What does increasingly mean?
Meaning: Advancing in amount or intensity Synonyms: increasingly; more and more; progressively Context example: she became increasingly depressed Pertainym: increasing (becoming greater or larger) By: MMC

The seismic waves in a 5.5 magnitude earthquake are times larger than those in a 3.5 magnitude earthquake?
100 :)
How do you use conservatively in a sentence?
I was at my business CONSERVATION yesterday. The law of conservation of energy says that energy can neither be created or destroyed, only changed in form. Water conservation has become increasingly important as cities have become larger.
