Select the five facts about tsunamis that were the most interesting or surprising to you. Make a list of your facts. 1. A tsunami is made up of a series of traveling ocean waves of extremely long wavelength. 2. They are triggered by earthquakes and undersea volcanic eruptions and deep sea landslides. 3. The wave shape changes and the height increases as it approaches the coastline. 4. Far field tsunamis have a long travel time so it is easier to predict their effects. 5. Near field

the friction of the jagged edges of the fault and it unsticks‚ all that stored up energy is released. The energy radiates outward from the fault in all directions in the form of seismic waves like ripples on a pond but much more violent. The seismic waves shake the earth as they move through it‚ and when the waves reach the earth’s surface‚ they shake the ground and anything on it‚ like our houses and workplaces. The tool that scientists use to record and measure earthquakes is called

3 Methods of Heat Transfer Now in Physics we learn that there are three methods of heat transfer‚ this being: Radiation‚ Conduction‚ and Convection. Let’s start with radiation; radiation is the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves. So basically it does not need to directly touch anything or move any particles around‚ much like convection and conduction do. Radiation mostly occurs through empty space‚ so I think a good example of radiation would be when you feel warm in front of a fire

observe standing wave patterns in clamped strings‚ and understand the effect of the standing wave frequencies of changing the length (L)‚ tension (T)‚ and linear density (p) of the strings. Standing wave patterns in strings are observed at certain excitation frequencies for special values of L‚ T‚ and p. A standing wave can be defined as a vibration of a system in which some particular points remain fixed while others between them vibrate with the maximum amplitude. Standing waves have different

The third-wave feminists are critical to the first and second waves because it ties all of the women’s movements previous accomplishments to all women‚ regardless of race‚ color‚ sexual orientation‚ and class. Without the third-wave feminists only white women would have the luxury of being able to vote‚ being provided equal employment opportunity‚ being heard when faced with sexual harassment and marital rape‚ and being able to broadcast the discrimination of gender. America wouldn’t be the country

Understand and observe the concept of Heat Transfer‚ by measuring the temperature distribution for steady state conduction of energy through a specific efficient unit. • Understand the Fourier Law of heat conduction and the usage of its equation in determining the rate of heat flow via solid materials. II. Theory : The Fourier Rate Equation: When a plane section of ∆x and a constant area A maintains a temperature difference ∆T‚ then the heat transfer rate per unit time by conduction

The Little Heat Engine: Heat Transfer in Solids‚ Liquids and Gases The question now is wherein the mistake consists and how it can be removed. Max Planck‚ Philosophy of Physics‚ 1936. While it is true that the field of thermodynamics can be complex‚1-8 the basic ideas behind the study of heat (or energy) transfer remain simple. Let us begin this study with an ideal solid‚ S1‚ in an empty universe. S1 contains atoms arranged in a
