When we breathe in, air travels down into our bodies through the trachea (windpipe) and into the bronchial tubes in our lungs. These tubes branch off into smaller airways called bronchioles, which lead to tiny air sacs called alveoli where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is released.

Where do smells go after we perceive them?

After we perceive smells, the molecules that make up the smell travel through the air and eventually disperse or break down. Our sense of smell allows us to detect these molecules, but they do not stay in our noses or bodies.

How do landmasses and bodies of water affect the amount of rainfall in a place?

Landmasses and bodies of water influence rainfall by affecting the temperature and humidity of the air. Landmasses heat up and cool down faster than bodies of water, leading to differences in air pressure and the formation of rain clouds. Additionally, bodies of water provide moisture to the air, which can result in increased rainfall when air masses move over them.


Does air pollution hurt our bodies?

Yes it hurt our bodies because it is in the air and we breathe that air.


Which way does air flow in a cooling system if the system is upstairs?

Air flow in an HVAC system is always circular. In the return air grills and out the supply registers. If the unit is upstairs and the ductwork goes down stairs then the supply would travel down and the return would travel up.


Does sound travel up or down in a vacuum?

Sound does not travel in a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there is no material for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot travel up or down in a vacuum.


Would striking a steel ball on the moon cause more movement than striking it on the Earth?

No, as long as you do not factor in air resistance, the ball keeps the same inertia on earth as it does on the moon and will therefore resist movement equally on both bodies. If you do include air resistance in your problem then the ball will travel a longer distance on the moon since friction with the air will not slow it down.


What are 3 examples of media that waves travel through?

Air: Sound waves travel through air and can be heard as sound. Water: Water waves travel through bodies of water like oceans, lakes, and rivers. Electromagnetic spectrum: Light waves, radio waves, microwaves, and other forms of electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum or various materials.
