What is a zone where rock surfaces are pushing together?
We see tectonic plates pushing together in what is called a convergent plate boundary.
Some objects reflect light without sending it off in many directions this is called a?
The phenomena of sending back of light is called reflection of light. And the surfaces which reflects light back are called reflecting surfaces.
What is A lipid bi-layer with many proteins embedded in it and attached to its surfaces is called?
plasma membrane of the cell
What is the property that causes some minerals to break along smooth flat surfaces?
This property is called cleavage.
What force that is being produced by rubbing two things together?
Rubbing two surfaces together creates friction, which expresses itself as heat. It is possible that static electricity will also be created (probable, actually), but there may or may not be a visible result of the buildup and/or neutralization of the charge (and usually there isn't). The force of friction derives from the electromagnetic forces of atoms and their electrons, so it is atomic and molecular forces that give rise to the phenomenon of friction. There are a lot of variables involved when two surfaces come into contact and move past one another. A link to the Wikipedia post on friction is provided. Heat is studied under the heading thermodynamics, and you'll need to fasten your seatbelt when you get ready to surf over there. An additional link is provided.
What causes friction between two seemingly smooth surfaces?
Tiny collisions on the surfaces, called microwelds, cause friction.
What is it called if you rubb two surfaces together?
friction
What is a zone where rock surfaces are pushing together?
We see tectonic plates pushing together in what is called a convergent plate boundary.
What is the grating sound made when two pleural surfaces rub together during respiration called?
The sound is actually called a Pleural rub.
What is the force when two materials rub together?
The force when two materials rub together is called friction. Friction is a resistive force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of motion between two surfaces in contact. The magnitude of the frictional force depends on factors such as the nature of the surfaces and the force pressing them together.
Unbalanced force opposing motion between touching surfaces?
The unbalanced force that opposes motion between touching surfaces is called friction. It acts in the opposite direction of the applied force and depends on the nature of the surfaces and the force pressing them together. Friction can be reduced by using lubricants or by increasing the smoothness of the surfaces.
What is the force exerted by air in all directions?
The force exerted by air in all directions is called air pressure. It is caused by the collisions of air molecules with surfaces. Air pressure is exerted equally in all directions and decreases as altitude increases.
What are marine animals with spiny rough surfaces called?
what are marine animals with piny rough surfaces called
The accumulation of space debris by gravity and collisions is called?
Accretion
What is the transfer of heat by collisions between particles in matter called?
"conduction"
What are the flat surfaces on a pyramid cube or rectangle prism called?
flat surfaces on any polyhedron are called faces
Breaking of a mineral along irregular surfaces called?
The breaking of a mineral along irregular surfaces is called a fracture. The splitting of a mineral along smooth, flat surfaces is called cleavage.
