Earth is said to be at the triple point for water because it exists at a temperature and pressure where water can coexist in all three states: solid, liquid, and gas.

What is fathrenheit?

A man's name given to a scale of temperatures running from zero at the lowest melting point of ice to 100 for human body heat (but now said to tun from 32 for melting point of pure ice to 212 for the boiling point of water [at sea level].


When an object is said to be immersed in water does this mean it is partially submerged or completely submerged?

When an object is immersed in water, it means it is completely surrounded or covered by the water.


What is meant when it is said that an image is behind the mirror?

When an image is said to be "behind the mirror," it means that the image appears to be located at a point behind the mirror's surface. This is a virtual image formed by the mirror's reflection properties, where the light rays do not actually converge at that point but appear to originate from it due to how we perceive reflection.


When is an object said to in motion if it changes in time?

An object is said to be in motion when it changes its position over time relative to a reference point. If an object is moving, it is undergoing a change in its position with respect to its surroundings.


What happens to the water level when the ship is loaded?

The ship becomes lower in the water. See the Plimsoll Line. ______________ The ship settles in the water at the point where the volume of the ship under the water i.e. the weight of the water it displaces is equal to the weight of the ship. ______________ I rather think I said that, though in fewer words; see the Plimsoll Line, probably the simplest invention in human history. Refer to the Merchant Shipping Act of 1875 (British Parliament).

Write short notes on triple point of water?

Triple point is a point on the phase diagram representing a particular pressure and temperature at which the solid, liquid, and vapour can co-exist in equilibrium.For water the values of pressure and temperature corresponding to Triple point are 4.58 mm of hg(610.42pa),273.16K.There are three lines drawn on the phase diagram.They are:1. Ice Line2. Steam Line3. Hoar Frost Line1. Ice Line: The line PB is called Ice Line.Along the line PB the solid and water are said to be equilibrium.2. Steam Line: The line PA is called Steam line.Along the line PA the water and steam are said to be equilibrium.3. Hoar Frost Line: The line PC is called Sublimation line (or) Hoar Frost Line.Along the line PC the Ice and Steam are in equilibrium.The Intersection of these three lines is Triple point.


Is water on earth or earth in water?

It is more correct to say that water is on the earth. Though the surface of the earth is mostly covererd with water, the operative word is "covered." The water covers most of the earth's surface, so the water could be said to be sitting on the earth. Which it is.

What is ice melting point?

0 degrees Celsiusadd. properly speaking, this point is known as the "triple point of water", the temperature at which water may assume liquid, solid, and vapour phases.[While it is commonly said that ice melting is at 0deg C, rather more accurately, the triple point of water is defined as 273.16 deg K = 0.16 deg C. Of interest mainly to folk working in Standards Labs.]


When the Earth is in its orbit and is at its closest point to the sun it is said to be at?

The earth's orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle, so there is a point at which we are nearest to the sun, and a point at which we are farthest from it. The point in the orbit at which we are nearest the sun is called "perihelion". The earth passes that point at some time during the first few days in January. In 2011, it happened on January 3. The point in the orbit at which we are farthest from the sun is called "aphelion". We pass it at some time during the first few days of July.


Explain how erupting volcanoes contributed to the formation of oceans?

Some theories regarding the origin of Earth's water say that it was "in" the Earth since it formed and that Volcanoes have brought it to the surface over geologic time. However, recent scientific work using the isotopic composition of Earth's water point to it having been delivered to Earth by meteorites and comets after the Earth was formed. This said, volcanoes are certainly part of Earth's current water cycle as areas of hot springs and mid oceanic, black smokers prove.

What is the solar point?

Solar PointI don't know. I know what the subsolar point is, it's the point in a orbit (of an object around a planet) where the sun is as close to overhead as it can get. Am I close? if this is true then the solar point would most likely be noon on earth. or at scale (since he said a satelite to the sun) it could be when the center of the galaxy is closest to overhead earth of course that could be the galactic point. im not really sure either.


Do you have 75 percent of water around us?

I think it is said that ~70% of the earth's surface is water. 75% is close enough an estimate


How do water come on earth?

One theory is that small amounts of water were in meteors, and billions of years ago it is said that there were continuous meteor strikes on earth, all the small amounts of water collected up, and it became a vast.
