Expansion and contraction of the rock material through which a wave passes is a characteristic of?
Expansion and contraction of rock material through which a wave passes is a characteristic of seismic waves generated during an earthquake. These waves cause the ground to shake as they travel through the Earth, creating various types of seismic effects.
When water percolates through the ground?
When water percolates through the ground, it moves downward through the soil, sand, or rock layers. This process helps recharge groundwater sources and can also filter out impurities as the water passes through the layers. Percolation plays a vital role in the water cycle by replenishing aquifers and sustaining ecosystems.
What is the movement of the ground in a p wave?
In a P-wave (primary wave), the ground moves back and forth in the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles in the ground compress and expand as the wave passes through them, creating a push-pull motion similar to a slinky being compressed and stretched.
Light that passes through an object is called?
Light usually passes through a transparent object. Similarly, light passes through the translucent objects but people cannot see through it.
Why does soil seem to shimmer in hot summer day?
Soil shimmers in the hot sun because of a phenomenon called mirage, where light rays are refracted due to temperature gradients in the air just above the ground. As the ground heats up, air near the surface becomes hotter, causing light rays to bend and creating the illusion of shimmering or rippling in the distance.
What does snow become when it passes through warm air then melts then refreezes near the ground?
When snow passes through warm air, melts, and then refreezes near the ground, it becomes sleet or freezing rain, depending on the temperature conditions. Sleet consists of frozen raindrops, while freezing rain is rain that becomes supercooled and freezes upon contact with surfaces, creating a layer of ice.
What is it when snow passes through warm air melts and refreezes near the ground?
You get ice pellets, colloquially known as sleet in the U.S.
When a current passes through a resistance what is the electric energy that is lost?
Becomes heat.
What happens when light passes through a substance near 0 degrees Kelvin?
When light passes through a substance near 0 degrees Kelvin, it bends and becomes deformed.
What is it called when water passes through a rock?
When water passes through a rock, it's called infiltration. This process involves water seeping into the ground and moving through the tiny spaces within the rock.
What is the name for a meteoroid that passes through the atmosphere?
A meteoroid in the atmosphere is a "meteor", and one that reaches the ground is a "meteorite".
Why as the elevation increases the temperature decreases?
The world is warmed by sunlight, which passes through the (mostly) transparent atmosphere, and warms up the ground. The farther away from the ground you get, the farther you are from the warmth of the ground.
What is A piece of solar system debris that passes through Earth's atmosphere and strikes the ground is a?
That's called a meteorite.
Who owns the copyright after an author dies?
It becomes part of his/her estate and passes through probate the same way as any tangible asset.
The filtrate within the nephron becomes urine only when it passes through the distal convoluted tubules and enters the collecting ducts?
False
What is a piece of solar system debris that passes through Earth's atmosphere and strikes the ground called?
That's called a meteorite.
Why you observe changes in the temperature with altitude?
Air is transparent (clear) to sunlight. So the Sun's light passes through it easily and heats the ground. The air at the ground then gets heated by the ground making the atmosphere near the ground warmer. This warm air expands and becomes less dense which causes it to rises. As it rises the pressure falls and it expands and cools. The result is colder air is found at higher altitudes than at the surface.
