What do earthquake waves have in common with other waves?
They bend when they go through different materials.
Water moves easily through what material?
permeable materials
Magnetism from a magnet cannot pass through magnetic materials?
yes
What is the process of washing minerals out of the topsoil?
Process by which substances are washed through or out of the soil is called leaching.
What tpyes of materials can the three waves move through?
Primary Wave can move through solids, liquids, and gases.Primary waves are formed due to the property of materials that they respond to compressional stress. As all materials(solids, liquids and gases) respond to compressional stress, primary waves can move through all phases.Secondary Wave can move through solids, but NOT liquids and gases.Secondary waves are formed due to the property of materials responding to shear stress. As fluids do not respond to shear stress, secondary wave does not move through fluids.Surface Waves move through solids along the boundary of two layers.
Does skin transport materials through the body?
Well, substances can be let through skin pores and enter into the blood. The circulatory system takes care of transporting the materials
What type of substances pass through the membrane by facilitated diffusion?
soluble materials which can diffuse passively .
Does light travel at different speeds through different materials?
no
What proteins move need substances or waste materials through the plasma membrane?
transport proteins
What kind of substances can electric current can flow through?
Elements, compounds, materials with high electrical conductivity.
Can you see through different materials?
yes
What happens to light when it passes through different substances?
it refracts
Which materials can current flow through?
different metals
What kind of substances are likely to move via passive transport through phospholipod bilyer?
transport of materials through cell wall without energy.
Why does the light refract?
Light refracts becuase it moves at different speeds through different substances.
Sound travels the slowest through which of these?
The speed of sound in a material is dependent on several factors. Basically it travels through denser materials at a different rate than rarefied materials, through compressible materials at a different rate than incompressible materials, and through stiffer materials at a different rate than nonrigid materials. A slower velocity of sound would be noted in a dense, compressible nonrigid material.
what doesnt settle or scatter light?
Substances that do not settle or scatter light are typically transparent or translucent materials. These materials allow light to pass through them with minimal interference. Examples of such materials include clear glass, air, and water. When light passes through these substances, it does not scatter or settle; instead, it continues in a relatively straight path. This is in contrast to opaque materials, which absorb or reflect light, causing it to scatter or settle.
