What does the motion of water in tsunamis look like?
Water BodiesWhat Does the Motion of Water in Tsunamis Look Like? Okay, let’s talk tsunamis. We all know they’re giant ocean waves, but what really goes on with the water’s movement? It’s way more complex – and frankly, scarier – than just a big wave crashing on the beach. Unlike your average beach wave, whipped up
How do we know how much Uranium was in any given sample when it was deposited?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Augie Sims How does uranium series dating work? U-Th dating is based on the activity ratios of parent (Uranium) and product (Thorium) isotopes, by calculating the disintegration of the parent to the daughter over time. This is done by the detection (mass spectrometry) of both the parent (234U) and daughter (230Th) products of
Is there a name for a type of algorithm or processing which uses only one source of data as input?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Augie Sims What are the 4 types of algorithm? Introduction To Types of Algorithms Brute Force algorithm. Greedy algorithm. Recursive algorithm. Backtracking algorithm. What is an algorithm for processing? An algorithm is a procedure used for solving a problem or performing a computation. Algorithms act as an exact list of instructions that conduct
Creating regular grid for my data?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Michelle Lia How do you create a data grid? Creating Data Grids Measure. Supplies the measure values to display in the cells of the data grid. Row. Use a dimension field to define the rows in the data grid, similar to the BY field in a report. Column. Use a dimension to provide
What are some limitations for using meteorites as evidence for the Earth’s age?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Michelle Lia How do meteorites tell us about the age of the Earth? Certain “primitive” meteorites contain the first solid material to form in our solar system. Researchers have used the age of this material—4.568 billion years—to determine the age of our solar system. Many primitive meteorites have remained essentially unchanged since they
Global tide calculation
Earth ScienceAsked by: Jim Moss How is the tide calculated? The terms of the equation, h = Ho + Sum{ƒH cos[at + (Vo+u) – K]} , are defined as follows: h = height of tide at any time t. Ho = mean height of water level above datum used for prediction. H = mean amplitude of
