How is water depth measured?
The depth in the ocean is measured by sounding using echo-sounders. Nowadays satellites are also used for this purpose.
Why does a stone feel lighter when it was under water?
because the upthrust force of the water acting on the stone was pushing the stone upwards meaning it was acting against the downwards weight of the stone (its weight). This meant that the downwards force was decreased and therefore felt lighter :)
Does depth affect water resistance?
Resistance of water is probably defined as pressure being applied by water on objects and as it's stated in fluid mechanics books pressure increases as height decreases or depth increases, so simply the answer is "yes".
What is measured in fathoms?
The depth of water. One fathom = six feet.
What is the relationship between the average precipitation amounts and the depth of the topsoil?
The relation ship between average precipitation and the depth of the soil is the moister and the water vapor water evaporates and one is a solid and the other is a solid.
When a stone is dropped in water why air bubbles are released?
When a stone is dropped in water, the force of impact pushes the air out of the small crevices and pores in the stone. This trapped air is then released in the form of bubbles as the stone sinks in the water.
Why the glass of water overflowed if stone dropped?
If the glass is even partially filled a stone thrown at sufficient speed will splash water below the kinetic energy of the stone will be dissipated by transferring it to the water. However if the stone is gently dropped into the glass of water (and it was full or nearly full) then the stone which is not soluble in water will displace an amount of water equal to its volume which will overflow.
When a stone is dropped into water what is the name of the spike or droplet of water that rises above the surface as a result?
The spike or droplet of water that rises above the surface when a stone is dropped into water is called a "crown splash" or "crown". It occurs due to the displacement of water caused by the sudden impact of the stone.
Why does the temperature in the thermocline decrease with depth?
The sun can't reach the thermocline layer to heat that depth of water
Why does the temperature in the thermocline decrease quickly in depth?
The sun can't reach the thermocline layer to heat that depth of water
Why does the temperature in the thermocline decreases quickly in depth?
The sun can't reach the thermocline layer to heat that depth of water
What determines the depth of the open-water zone?
It stops where sunlight can't reach!
A stone is dropped from a bridge and strikes the water 2.4 seconds later How high is the bridge?
28.224m
How far must you drill to create a well?
For a water well, until you reach the water table. The depth will vary.
What is the relationship between the depth to the water table and the depth that a well must be drilled?
The depth to the water table is the distance from the ground surface to the top of the saturated zone. The depth of a well must be drilled below the water table to ensure water can be extracted. The well should be drilled deep enough to reach the water-bearing aquifer but not so deep that it goes below the water table.
Why does temperature in the thermocline decrease quickly with depth?
The sun can't reach the thermocline layer to heat that depth of water
Which information is most important when passing near a lighthouse?
Depth of water
