Differentiate correlation of between depth and bouguer anomaly
Earth ScienceAsked by: Melissa Craven What is the Bouguer gravity anomaly? [ bōō-zhâr′ ] The difference between the expected value of gravity at a given location (taking into account factors such as latitude, longitude, altitude, and the rotation of the Earth) and its actual value. How do positive and negative Bouguer anomalies differ? The Bouguer anomaly
Waves on sandy beach separating differently-sized rocks?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Marshall Zellner Why does sediment size vary along a beach? The size of sand grains is related to the slope of the beach. For example, the steeper the beach, the larger the sand grain size tends to be. This is because larger particles can be cast higher up the beach by the waves
Can anyone explain this frost phenomenon?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Marshall Zellner What is the causes of frost? Frost usually forms when a surface cools through loss of infrared radiation to a temperature which is colder than the dewpoint of the air next to the surface, AND the temperature of that surface is below freezing (32 deg F, or 0 deg. C). The
Importance of meteorite impact craters in geology?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Lynn Sudd Why are meteorite impacts important? In summary, we propose that meteorite impact events are a fundamental geobiological process in planetary evolution that played an important role in the origin of life on Earth. We conclude with the recommendation that impact craters should be considered prime sites in the search for evidence
What is the average cholorphyll concentration for the ocean?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Lynn Sudd What are chlorophyll concentrations in the ocean a measure of? The concentration of chlorophyll is an indicator for the amount of photosynthetic plankton, or phytoplankton , present in the ocean. Phytoplankton populations are influenced by climatic factors such as sea surface temperatures and winds. What is chlorophyll in the ocean? Chlorophyll
Which tropical evergreen trees shed the maximum amount of foliage year-round?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Jermyn Dawson What forests keep their foliage throughout the year? An evergreen forest is a type of forest whose trees maintain their leaves throughout the year. This means, regardless of the season, these trees will be found with leaves or needles. The trees of an evergreen forest can be conifers, hemlock, eucalyptus, cycads,
