What else can I help you with?
Particles in a wave move in an elliptical or circular motion?
surface waves
What body of surface water is stationary?
technically water is never stationary as it is made up of moving particles
How do eluviation and illuviation differ?
in eluviation the mineral particles are generally carried downwards the surface while on contrast illuviation is a leaching process where such minerals are brought to the surface, they are both leaching processes
What are particles that move quickly away from the sun's surface called?
Photons. (In the form of electromagnetic radiation)
Describe how increased pressure in the chamber relieves symptoms of decompression sickness?
SImply put, increased atmospheric pressure compresses the bubbles in your tissues, thus reducing their surface area. As much of the pathological process is mechanical injury resulting from tearing as the in situ bubbles increase in size, decreasing the surface area may help to both lessen the symptoms and allow for the bubbles to be reabsorbed harmlessly into the tissues, so they can be outgassed later, without bubble formation.
What is the lowering of the land surface that results from the removal of surface particles of any matter by wind?
The lowering of the land surface resulting from the removal of surface particles by wind is called deflation. This process involves the transport of smaller particles, such as sand or silt, leaving behind larger particles like gravel or rocks. Over time, deflation can lead to the formation of features like blowouts or desert pavement.
Why are solid particles dust necessary for cloud formation?
Solid particles, such as dust, are necessary for cloud formation because they serve as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). CCN provide a surface for water vapor to condense onto, initiating the formation of cloud droplets. Without these particles, the water vapor would struggle to condense and form clouds. Additionally, the presence of dust particles can influence the characteristics and properties of the resulting clouds, such as their size, shape, and longevity.
Why does black soot form on a funnel?
Black soot can form on a funnel when there is incomplete combustion of fuel. This happens when the fuel does not have enough oxygen to fully burn, leading to the production of carbon particles. These carbon particles then adhere to the surface of the funnel, resulting in the formation of black soot.
How do particles of salt and dust in the air affect the formation of clouds?
Particles of salt and dust in the air can serve as nuclei around which water vapor can condense, leading to the formation of cloud droplets. These particles provide a surface for water vapor to condense onto, promoting the growth of cloud droplets and ultimately the formation of clouds.
Two conditions are required for cloud formation cooling of the air and?
saturation of the air with water vapor. When the air cools to its dew point and becomes saturated with water vapor, the excess vapor condenses onto tiny particles in the air to form water droplets, resulting in cloud formation.
What happens to the particles on the surface of a liquid as it evaporates?
As a liquid evaporates, particles on the surface gain enough kinetic energy to break free from the intermolecular forces holding them in place. These particles escape into the air as gas, resulting in the liquid gradually losing mass and transitioning into a gaseous state.
What is the settling of the particles on a sediment or other surface?
The settling of particles on a sediment or other surface is known as sedimentation. This process occurs when particles in a fluid, such as water or air, lose their kinetic energy and come to rest due to gravity or other forces. Over time, sedimentation can lead to the formation of layers of sediment on the surface.
How have these space particles been allowed to bombard the moons surface?
the moon has no atomoshere
Condensation nuclei are involved in the formation?
Condensation nuclei are tiny particles in the atmosphere on which water vapor condenses to form clouds or fog. These nuclei can be dust, salt particles, or pollutants. They are crucial for cloud formation as they provide a surface for water vapor to condense onto, initiating the cloud formation process.
Convection currents resulting from uneven heating of the Earth's surface cause to form.?
Convection currents resulting from uneven heating of the Earth's surface cause the movement of tectonic plates. This movement can lead to phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
Why are fine dust particles important in the formation of clouds?
Fine dust particles serve as condensation nuclei for water vapor to condense on, initiating cloud formation. These particles provide a surface for water droplets to form and grow, leading to cloud development. Without these particles, the water vapor would struggle to condense and form clouds.
Why do precipitates form arcs?
Precipitates can form arcs due to the effects of surface tension and the interactions between the particles in a solution. When precipitate particles aggregate, they may align themselves along the curvature of the interface between phases, resulting in a curved or arc-like formation. Additionally, this phenomenon can be influenced by factors such as concentration gradients and the spatial distribution of the particles, which can lead to distinct patterns like arcs during the precipitation process.
