What equipment would you need to perform an experiment that measures relative humidity?
To measure relative humidity, you would need a hygrometer, which can be a mechanical or electronic device. In addition, you may need a source of temperature data as relative humidity is temperature-dependent. Optionally, you might use a psychrometer, which consists of two thermometers – a dry-bulb and a wet-bulb – to calculate relative humidity based on the temperature difference.
Would the moon waxing or waning affect you when you have the Moon's phasing on your homepage?
I may be missing your question. Are you wondering if the presence of the moon's phases on your homepage will have some kind of effect on your personality or behavior? There seems to be evidence, not well studied and not well understood, that the moon's phases affect us in some unknown ways. But if this is true, it is the moon involved in the effect, and not your homepage. Any [additional] effect you would experience from the phases appearing on your homepage would be perhaps a kind of placebo effect, your own expectation that something will happen, or perhaps a willingness to believe a superstition. We all have superstitions of one kind or another.
What are facts about primary successions?
- The first species to grow are pioneer species such as lichens and mosses.
- As pioneer species grow and die, soil forms. Some plants grow in the new soil.
- As more plants die, they make the soil more fertile. New plants grow in the rich soil, and existing plants mature.
- Pioneer species are usually carried by wind and water.
- Is a series of changes that occur where no life exists in the area.
- To have a very mature community might take centuries.
How do you calculate how fast the Earth spins?
The Earth makes one rotation in 24 hours (well, not EXACTLY but close enough for argument). So take the circumference in miles (you can look this up) and divide by 24, that's how many miles per hour the surface travels [at the equator]. The above answer will give you a very good answer. This is an explanation of some of the reasons the answer above says "not exactly". This is wonderful stuff. Imagine yourself looking down at the solar system from way up north in space. (North doesn't end at the North Pole-- it keeps going). You see the sun in the middle, and earth moving along in its nearly circular orbit. From up here, the earth is turning counter-clockwise. Some point on the equator is moving from 6 o'clock to 5, then 4, the 3 and so on. Now the earth is moving in its orbit, of course. It is also moving counter-clockwise around the sun. You can see these movements in your mind's eye with a little practice. Now we can easily measure the amount of time from one solar noontime (when the sun is at is highest possible point for us) until tomorrow's solar noontime. We can use this time and the known circumference of the earth, to calculate earth's rate of rotation. But if you play with the image that you have of the solar system, you will see that the earth has to turn a little more than one full turn in order to reach the next day's solar noon. Even if you use the most accurate clocks instead of solar noon (as implied above), you will see that the clocks are meant to average out our observations of solar noon, and the earth will still have to turn a little extra each day before reaching standard noontime! There is another kind of day called a sidereal day. This is an earth day measured as if we are being observed from the fixed stars and not our sun. Sidereal days are a little shorter than solar days or days measured by standard time. You can see in your mind that as the earth turns, a point on the equator will face the distant stars (say straight up in your mental picture) before that point turns all the way to face the sun. Each day the gap gets a little bigger. So measuring the earth's rotation using a sidereal day will give you a measurement that is a little more accurate.
What 8 elements predominatly make up earth's crust?
The 8 main elements of the Earths crust are,
Oxygen.
Silicon.
Alluminium.
Iron.
Calcium.
Sodium.
Potassium.
Magnessium.
Which is the most likely to Make a more frequent “visitor” of earth. Why do you think so?
I believe that the most probable thing that a visitor to the Earth would do would be to study the living beings that inhabit it and measure their level of intelligence and what type of organisms they are or how it is possible that they exist. Now why I think this is what they would do … easily because if humans found a planet with living swerves is not the first thing we would do
What device that works because of the earths magnestism?
A compass relies on Earth's magnetism to stay pointed north.
What is the difference between earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquake is like the place is getting destroyed, making cracks into roads, it can destroy buildings too.
Volcano spits fire in It's hole, and rocks, it will spread ashes half in the country, if you are near in the volcano just run, rocks will fall down too, if you see black things on the ground, don't go outside, It's ashes.
Where is the most famouse place on earth?
Top 10 Most Famous Landmarks in the World
Eiffel Tower.
Great Wall of China.
Kremlin.
Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Pyramid of Giza.
Sydney Opera House.
Statue of Liberty.
Taj Mahal.
What is the difference of a globe and the Earth?
When used as nouns, earth means soil, whereas globe means any spherical (or nearly spherical) object. Earth is also proper noun meaning the third planet from the sun.
Both the crust and the upper mantle are solid layers of the Earth's lithosphere. However, the crust is more brittle and less dense than the mantle. Additionally, the crust is composed primarily of oxygen and silicon (silicate minerals) whereas the mantle contains more iron and magnesium.
Why are measurements needed for science?
Not only is measurement important in science and the chemical industry, it is also essential in farming, engineering, construction, manufacturing, commerce, and numerous other occupations and activities. Without the ability to measure, it would be difficult for scientists to conduct experiments or form theories.
Which term describes droplets that condense on objects at the earth's surface?
The term is "dew." Dew forms when moisture in the air condenses on surfaces like grass, leaves, or cars during the night when the temperature drops. It is commonly seen in the morning and evaporates as the sun rises and warms up the air.
How long are alligator snapping turtles at birth?
When young alligator snapping turtles hatch, they are two to three inches long.
How is environmental science related to chemistry?
Chemistry is the chemistry if youre a chemistry then good for you
How does Earth's core transmit heat?
The Earth's core heats up due to the residual heat from its formation and radioactive decay of elements. This heat is then transmitted through the outer core and mantle by convection, where hot molten rock rises and cooler rock sinks, creating a heat flow that helps maintain the Earth's internal temperature.
What are the types of plain boundary?
Plains (flat areas on the planet) can occur in the depth of the ocean (abyssal plains), in which case they are bounded by mid oceanic ridges and continental slopes or on land (eg the US prairie) in which case the are bounded by mountain foothills, escarpments or shorelines.
Which of the processes is not an example of chemical weathering?
A. dissolution of calcite B. breaking down of feldspar to form clay C. splitting of a rock along a fracture D. rusting of a nail
E. All are examples of chemical weathering
*I have read the book and researched I need help finding this please. I wouldn't be asking if I didn't knew... no rude answers*

How does the sun drive convection currents in the ocean and in the atmosphere?
Mostly it is radiation from the sun. A little heat is conducted through the crust from the core of the Earth, but not enough to keep the planet livable. Convection in the atmosphere keeps the air mixed and spreads the heat coming from the sun to the night side of the planet.
What is the amount of rainfall received in a year in the ocean?
The amount of rainfall received in the ocean varies greatly depending on the location and ocean currents. On average, the global ocean receives about 40 inches (1,016 mm) of rainfall per year. Areas near the equator tend to receive more rainfall, while regions closer to the poles generally receive less.
