energy that travel through the earth‚ and are a result of an earthquake‚ explosion‚ or a volcano that imparts low-frequency acoustic energy. There are two types of seismic waves‚ Body waves and surface waves. Body waves travel through the interior of the earth. Surface waves travel along the earth’s surface and through water. Seismic wave fields are measured by a seismograph‚ geophone‚ hydrophone or accelerometer. These are used to measure earthquakes. When measuring these earthquakes these

Low Stony Hill is also composed a variety of species of forbs. The soils at this site include Eckrant cobbly silty clay (EcB) soils ranging from shallow to very shallow; however‚ the soil is well drained with moderately slow permeability and rapid surface runoff with 1-3 percent slopes. Methods Soil characteristics‚ which affect infiltration rates and are crucial to understanding infiltration‚ include bulk density‚ vegetation‚ and microtopography. To assess and calculate these characteristics‚ 32 microplots

of the sphericity F s‚ which is independent of particle size. The sphericity of a particle is the ratio of the surface-volume ratio of a sphere with equal volume as the particle and the surface-volume ratio of the particle. For a spherical particle of diameter D p‚ F s =1; for a non-spherical particle‚ the sphericity is defined as Dp: equivalent diameter of particle Sp: surface area of one particle vp: volume of one particle The equivalent diameter is sometimes defined as the diameter of

osmosis rate on different surface areas‚ depending on different types of water solution An investigation showing the effect of surface area on osmosis rate‚ including some different types of water concentration. Osmosis is a type of passive (not requiring energy) transport of water molecules across partially permeable membrane‚ from an area of high water concentration into area of low water concentration. But how does surface area affect rate of osmosis? Surface area plays important role

energetic eruption‚ affirming the nucleation-site theory. The surface of the mint Mentos is covered with many small holes that increase the surface area available for reaction (and thus the quantity of reagents exposed to each other at any given time)‚ thereby allowing CO2 bubbles to form with the rapidity and quantity necessary for the "jet"- or "geyser"-like nature of the effusion. Each Mentos candy has thousands of small pores on its surface which disrupt the polar attractions between water molecules

permeable barrier whose total surface area is important in regulating the substances that diffuse into or out of the cell. However‚ as a cell grows in size‚ its volume increases at a greater rate than its surface area. Consequently‚ the surface area of the growing cell soon becomes inefficient for effective diffusion throughout the cell. This relationship between surface area and the volume of a cell can be expressed as a ratio; and the need for an effectively large surface area to volume ratio is considered

Exploring Enzymes - Ground-Up Tissue Activity Abstract Our experiment looked at how increasing the surface area of a substance affects the amount of bubbles created due to the presence of the enzyme catalase. The experiment used two pieces of fish‚ one whole and one ground up‚ which were then covered in hydrogen peroxide. This method allowed us to observe the catalase in ground up fish break down the hydrogen peroxide at a quicker rate than in the piece of fish left intact. This was determined

Group: _______________________________________ 1) Five equilateral triangles‚ each with side length are arranged so they are all on the same side of a line containing one side of each. Along this line‚ the midpoint of the base of one triangle is the vertex of the next‚ as shown in the diagram below. What is the area of the region that is covered by the union of the five equilateral triangular regions? Answer: Question Attempt 1 Attempt 2 Attempt 3 1 Triangles

Business Challenge #6: To develop the best scratch resistant coating in the world for ophthalmic lenses [Titan] Background The ophthalmic lenses (spectacle lenses) consist of some base material (substrate) like CR 39‚ Polycarbonate‚ Trivex and a surface treatment is given to them to increase their hardness. Currently‚ there are 2 processes of applying this coating‚ i.e. Dip coating and Spin coating. The current scratch resistant (Hard) coating on plastic and polycarbonate lenses available in the

effect of the surface area to volume ratio on the rate evaporation of water in different sized containers. By measuring the time it takes for the whole amount of water to evaporate‚ a conclusion can be made about the validity of the surface to volume ratio in regards to the biological process of diffusion.
