What are the differences between farm tools and farm equipment?

Farm tools are hand tools like a hoe, pitch fork, shovel, rake, etc. Farm equipment are machines that are pulled behind and operated from the tractor, such as the plow, baler, hay mower, disc, harrows, etc.

What is the difference between an adult and baby elephant?

Baby penguins eat alot and can't really control there apatite and adults penguins can.

How is a zebra born?

Zebras are born like their domesticated cousins, the horse. The mother endures labor in a standing position. The zebra foal exits the birth canal front feet first, followed by the nose and head. The remainder of the body soon follows. The afterbirth usually drops within an hour of the foal's birth.

What is the difference between ground squirrel and chipmunk?

chipmunks are smaller and brighter than squirrels and also squirrels put their nuts in the ground then other animals can find them and eat them, but chipmunks put their nuts up high in the tree were birds unable to look upon it

They are two separate species. Chipmunks are much smaller and have shorter fur and tails. See the link below for more info and pictures.

What is the difference between wasps and bees?

Wasps are more dangerous. Wasps are long and thin while bees are small and normal sized. Wasps don't die when they sting, bees do.

In addition: Although both species drink nectar from flowers, wasps could be said to be carnivorous, while bees are not. Bees feed their young with pollen collected from flowers while wasps feed their young on insect or spider prey.

How can you tell if your minnow is male or female?

fish from pet stores are invariably underfed and somewhat skinny, which makes them harder to sex. Also it seems as though a diet rich in live food (brine shrimp for example) is really necessary to get them into prime breeding condition. After a few weeks on shrimp the belly on the females will swell up and the males will look better (more golden, esp. the ventral fins) and you will easily be able to tell them apart. The male and female zebrafish can be distinguished by two cues, color and body shape. The males are slender and the females are more rounded. The males have a pinkish-yellowish cast and the females a bluish-whitish cast. I have seen pet store zebras that look more like pencils than fish. In that case it might take some fattening up before you can tell.

What is the difference between horse power and torque?

By Karl Brauer, Editor in Chief, Edmunds.com While horsepower is often considered when shopping for a vehicle, what about that "other" engine rating: torque? Specifically, what are the differences between horsepower and torque? If you flip through the pages of any automotive publication, you'll notice that these two measurements are commonly listed under vehicle specifications. And while the average car enthusiast knows that both horsepower and torque play a role in performance, most of them don't understand exactly how or why. Let's begin by explaining the technical difference between the two. Horsepower is defined as the amount of energy required to lift 550 pounds, one foot, in one second. From this definition you can see that the components of horsepower are force, distance and time. Distance and time are self-explanatory but force, specifically a twisting force, is what torque is all about. Remember that the initial energy that moves a car forward starts in the combustion chamber in the form of an explosion. This explosion forces a piston (or group of pistons) down in a straight line, which pushes on a connecting rod and turns the engine's crankshaft. It's this turning crankshaft where the twisting force of torque initiates. From there the force is carried through a flywheel, transmission, driveshaft, axle(s) and wheel(s) before moving the car. The measurement of torque is stated as pound-feet and represents how much twisting force is at work. If you can imagine a plumber's pipe wrench attached to a rusty drainpipe, torque is the force required to twist that pipe. If the wrench is two feet long, and the plumber pushes with 50 pounds of pressure, he is applying 100 pound-feet of torque (50 pounds x 2 feet) to turn the pipe (depending on the level of rust, this may or may not be enough torque). As you may have noticed, this measurement of torque does not include time. One-hundred pound-feet of torque is always 100 pound-feet torque, whether it is applied for five seconds or five years. So, if you want a quick answer to the difference between horsepower and torque, just keep in mind that horsepower involves the amount of work done in a given time, while torque is simply a measurement of force and is thus a component of horsepower. To see how torque and horsepower interact, imagine your favorite SUV (everyone has one of those, right?) at the base of a steep hill. The engine is idling and the gear lever is in the "Four-Low" position. As the driver begins to press on the throttle, the engine's rpm increases, force is transmitted from the crankshaft to each wheel, and the SUV begins to climb upward. The twisting force going to each wheel as the vehicle moves up the hill is torque. Let's say the engine is at 3,000 rpm, the gear ratio is 3, and the vehicle is creating 300 pound-feet of torque. Using the following formula, we can calculate horsepower: Take the torque of 300 multiplied by a shaftspeed of 1000 (3000 rpm divided by a gear ratio of 3) for a total of 300,000. Divide 300,000 by 5,252 and you get 57.1 horsepower that the SUV is making as it begins to ascend the hill. It is interesting to note that, since 5,252 is used to calculate horsepower by way of torque and shaftspeed, it is also the number in the rpm range at which torque and horsepower are always equal. If you were to view the horsepower and torque curves of various engines, you would notice that they always cross at 5,252 rpm. So now we have a technical understanding of how torque interacts with horsepower, but let's move beyond that to some real-world examples. For instance, we all know that a car moves from a dead stop in 1st or low gear, yet as the car's speed increases, the gears must be moved up through 2nd, 3rd and 4th to maintain acceleration. This is because at low speeds the transmission's gears work to transmit maximum torque from the engine to the wheels. You want this because it takes more force, or torque, to move a vehicle that is at rest than it does to move a vehicle in motion (Newton's 1st Law). At the same time, once a vehicle is underway, you want less torque and more horsepower to maintain a high speed. This is because horsepower is a measurement of work done and includes a time element (such as wheel revolutions per minute necessary to maintain 75 mph). Since entire books have been written on the concepts of horsepower and torque, it's not realistic to try and cover them fully in a single column. Finally, let me leave you with my favorite phrase about the relationship between horsepower and torque: Horsepower is what you read about, torque is what you feel.

What is the difference between hydroponics and aquaponics?

Hydroponics is plants growing in water. Aquaponics is taking it one step further; a combination of hydroponics and aquaculture, plants and fish together. The plant roots take nutrition from the water with the fish.

What is the difference between apples pears strawberries and peaches?

These are similar fruits.

Peach: (Prunus persica) is a species of Prunus native to China that bears an edible juicy fruit called a peach. It is a deciduous tree growing to 4--10 m (13--33 ft) tall, belonging to the subfamily Prunoideae of the family Rosaceae. It is classified with the almond in the subgenus Amygdalus within the genus Prunus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated seed shell.

Nectarine: The nectarine is a cultivar group of peach that has a smooth skin. Though fuzzy peaches and nectarines are regarded commercially as different fruits, with nectarines often erroneously believed to be a crossbreed between peaches and plums, or a "peach with a plum skin", they belong to the same species as peaches. Several genetic studies have concluded in fact that nectarines are created due to arecessive gene, whereas a fuzzy peach skin is dominant.

Apricot: (Prunus armeniaca) is a species of Prunus, classified with the plum in the subgenus Prunus. The fruit is a drupe similar to a small peach, 1.5--2.5 cm diameter (larger in some modern cultivars), from yellow to orange, often tinged red on the side most exposed to the sun

What is the difference between a holometabolous and hemietabolous?

In hemimetabolous, there is a gradual change to the adult instar, and Larva resembles the adult. While in holometabolous, the larva is quite unlike the adult, and the intervening stage is called "pupal instar"

What is the difference between herbs an shrub stems?

A plant is any of the approximately 260,000 known species of mosses, liverworts, ferns, herbaceous and woody plants, bushes, vines, trees, and various other forms of living organism that lack the power of locomotion. Herbs are plants that do not have a woody stem. Some herbs have medicinal properties or are used fr their flavor or aroma in food.

What is the difference between bully and gotti pitbull?

Size ,color and weight.

THEY ARE NOT PITBULLS. Gotti, Razors Edge, Gaff and Grayline are American Bullies bred off the original pit bull. Meaning they are pitbull mixes. Commonly mixed with neo mastiff ,mastiff,bulldog and American bulldog.

****Contrary to what the above answer says....

They ARE pitbulls. The UKC recognizes the breed as stated on it's website:

Gotti, Razors Edge, etc. are just specific breeders trying to breed a dog to fit the breed standard. Some backyard breeders do mix mastiffs, etc. to get specific traits such as wider shoulders, mass, etc.

BTW, American Staffordshire Terriers are in fact, originally bred from the pitbull breed created in England.

The AKC only recognizes AmStaffs, not pitbulls.

-------

The second answer regarding whether they are or aren't "pit bulls" is somewhat incorrect. The user stated "The UKC recognizes the breed as stated on it's website" which is correct, the UKC does recognize American Pit Bull Terriers. However, if you actually take the time to read the standard, it penalizes things like oversize heads, short legs, excessive bones (i.e. "big bones"), muzzles that are too short, short thick necks... all of which are characteristics of Gotti/Razor Edge "pit bulls."

Anyways, they are not pitbulls, they are bullies.

An elephant is a mammal that can only live on the ground .But the whale can live in only water.Besides that, they are both mammals and are huge!

How does the difference between needs and wants impact the communities and the environment?

Needs are our fudamental requirements to survive, such as: food, water, shelter, clothing, money, compaionship, medicine and so forth. Wants are everything our ego desires that are beyond our basic needs. When we live frugally, we tend to be more conscious of environmental needs. When we become complacent and a slave to fashion, design, technology, etc., we can become less conscious of the environment. Not recycling, carbon footprints, food waste, medicine waste, greed in general; all gives way to an ever increasing evolving planet, that is showing signs of deterioration, as communities all chase after the next fad. The domio effect from the concept to the design, to the operation, to the maintenance. Most things work in theory, when the collective are all operating for the greater good. When there is mixed input, there will always be less than is adequate; good results.

What is relation between forest and wildlife?

A forest is a highly complex, constantly changing environment made up of a variety of living things (wildlife, trees, shrubs, wildflowers, ferns, mosses, lichens, fungi and microscopic soil organisms) and non-living things (water, nutrients, rocks, sunlight and air). Trees are the biggest part of this complex community.
"Wildlife" is a term that refers to animals that are not normally domesticated (raised by humans). They are a living resource that will die and be replaced by others of their kind. Individual animals cannot be kept beyond their life span. But if managed carefully, populations of wildlife can be conserved practically forever.

Generally saying wildlife make forest as residency.

What is the difference between a rose and a sunflower?

Is there a difference between a bunny and a rabbitt?

There are many differences between a bilby and a rabbit.

  • Bilbies are marsupials, i.e. pouched mammals, but rabbits are placental mammals. Bilbies are a type of bandicoot, and the young stay in the pouch for 75-80 days.
  • Bilbies have a gestation period of about 14 days. Rabbits have a gestation period of 28-31 days.
  • Bilbies are native to the continent of Australia. Rabbits are found everywhere else and were introduced to Australia. Thus, rabbits cause extensive damage to the environment whereas bilbies do not.

What are five cash crops?

Cash Crops are crops that are especially used for profit rather than consumption by a family. They consist of foods like tobacco, tea. coffee, cardamom. fruits and vegetables, grains, etc.

What is the difference between a plant organs and a human organs?

Differences in cat and human organs include a cat's organs being much smaller than human organs, a cat spleen is flat while a human spleen is oval, the cat's pancreas is upside down compared to that of a human, and cats do not have an appendix.

When was the first zebra found?

Using Darwin's Theory of Evolution, we can pinpoint the roots of the zebra back millions of years ago, as a shared ancestor of the common horse.

We start circa 60 million years ago, in the Eocene era. Eohippus is the oldest ancestor known to date, who lived in a boggy environment. The landscape had long grass, lots of swampy areas and no rocky areas.

It is important to note it is very stripy. Therefore, it was small, so it could camouflage from predators.

Next in the Oligocene period, rocky areas become more frequent as the planet's temperature rises (drying out the marshland). Reduced camouflage meant Eohippus was easily hunted and became extinct.

Miohippus was next in line, living circa 60 - 25 mya. The stripes begin to reduce as there is nowhere to hide in the barren rocky areas. It also gets bigger, gets longer legs and 'gets rid of' a toe so it can run easily.

Grassland begins to become even more scarce as we move out of the dinosaur ages and into the Miocene period. Merychippus is next in the evolution, and again reduces stripes, increases its size and foreleg bone length. Its toes were closer, again for running purposes (agility). Merychippus however lasts only about 20 million years.

Pliohippus lived circa 7 - 3 mya, was again taller and had feet resembling the modern horses' hooves. Its toes were so close it had 'merged' into one, creating even more speed and stamina.

The Pliohippus is the dividing line between both Equusspecies, as this is the important part about stripes.

Pliohippus living in modern day Africa had flies constantly buzzing around them. The flies were repelled by stripy Pliohippus, since the black intensifies the white light which the files abhor.

Therefore, they have stripes.

Eurasian Pliohippus however had none of these annoying insects, so had no need for them or for camouflage, so the gene for stripes was effectively lost.

This is now why zebras have stripes in Africa, whilst the closely related horse does not.

Natural selection also played a vital role in the division of the zebra and horse. In Europe and Asia, ones with stripes did not tend to reproduce, so they depleted.

In Africa, the reverse happened, so the ones with stripes did reproduce more than the ones without, so they died out.
