What mountains have the higher elevation the Rockies or the Appalachians?
The Rockies have higher elevations than the Appalachians. The highest peak in the Rockies, Mount Elbert, reaches over 14,000 feet, while the highest peak in the Appalachians, Mount Mitchell, reaches around 6,600 feet.
Why is there a shortage of energy when there is a great deal of energy around us?
Because you can't just use any type of energy. Some types of energy are totally useless; apart from that, some are simply easier to harvest than others.
Why might the distance traveled in a given second vary on a graph showing speed?
because the speed is constant..
Is a good insulater a good conductor?
No; an insulator by definition does not conduct electricity. We use these to protect ourselves from electricity, like the rubber in rubber gloves. Conductors, in contrast, are good...uh, conductors of electricity.
If force is work divided by distance then distance is force divided by work?
I usually start with the definition of work: Work = force * distance
so...
Force = work / distance
Distance = work / force
So, no. You had it backwards.

Another name for coastal plains are?
Another name for coastal plains are lowlands or littoral plains. These are flat, low-lying areas adjacent to coastlines that are formed by the deposition of sediment carried by rivers or the sea. Coastal plains are often fertile and support diverse ecosystems.
This is called a gorge and is formed over time as water erodes and cuts through the surrounding rock or soil, creating a narrow and steep-walled valley. Gorges can vary in size from small to massive, and can often be found in mountainous or canyon regions where water flow is concentrated and powerful.
Which of these is not an example of the demand determinant of what people like to buy?
Ann likes to sing in the shower. "A+"
How long ago did the predynastic period of Egyptian history last?
It was when Pharaohs did infact not exist in this time of history
Well first it is why did the french "come" not came, but otherwise,
I am assuming that you mean why the french came to America,
so, to make things short, the french came to America to find a passage to Asia, originally that is.
How long can you keep a ice cube from melting?
Forever if you leave them in the freezer! But it melts in hours.
How long in earth time is one day on the sun?
That would depend on what you mean by a "day" on the sun. On earth it is nomally defined in terms of a cycle of light and dark but, since the sun is the source of day and night on earth, that definition would not work for the sun.
Another way of looking at it might be to consider how long the sun takes to rotate about its axis. Unlike the earth, though, the sun is not solid and does not rotate at the same rate all over. At its equator the sun rotates once every 24.5 days (approx) and that is probably the nearest to a straight answer that I can give.
What is the definition of cohesion force?
Cohesion force refers to the attractive forces between molecules of the same substance, causing them to stick together. These forces are responsible for phenomena like surface tension and capillary action. Cohesion is essential for the overall stability and properties of liquids.
An example of something too small to observe directly is an atom, which can be represented by the equation for the Bohr radius. For something too fast to observe, we can consider the speed of light, which is represented by the equation c = 3 x 10^8 m/s. An object too large to observe directly could be a black hole, described by the equations of general relativity.
Why is solar energy transferred to earth by radiation not convection?
Convection takes place through a material medium between source and sink.
There isn't any material medium between sun and earth, and we are therefore
thankful that radiation exists.
Do convex and concave mirrors obey the law of reflection?
Yes, both convex and concave mirrors obey the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This law applies to all types of mirrors, ensuring that light rays reflect predictably off the mirror's surface.
What are two things energy is used for?
Here are some general categories for energy usage, and some specific examples:
