What is the physical meaning of second moment of wind velocity?
TurbulenceAsked by: Tory Spencer What is the meaning of wind velocity? Wind speed, or wind flow velocity, is a fundamental atmospheric quantity. Wind speed is caused by air moving from high pressure to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature. Why wind speed increase with height? Winds at the ground are lower than a
How would pesticide vapor drift behave near a valley?
Earth scienceAsked by: Tory Spencer What is vapor drift also referred to as? Volatile drift, also known as vapor drift, is the conversion of the agricultural chemical from a liquid or solid into a vapor (gas) and movement, usually with the wind, off the application site to an unintended area. How to prevent air pollution from

Yellowstone Eruption Possibility?
Earth scienceAsked by: Sean Caldwell ANSWER: Although it is possible, scientists are not convinced that there will ever be another catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone. Given Yellowstone’s past history, the yearly probability of another caldera-forming eruption can be approximated as 1 in 730,000 or 0.00014%. Is Yellowstone expected to erupt again? The good news is it isn’t
Climate in subequatorial regions
Earth scienceAsked by: Jenny Spencer The winters are hot, dry and sunny. There are two seasons – dry and rainy. In the dry season we can see higher daily and lower nightly temperatures in comparison with the equatorial climate. Usually the vegetation is of type “savanna” with wide, grassy spaces and some trees. What is Subequatorial
What stone is this?
Earth scienceAsked by: Jenny Spencer How do I know what stone I have? Quote from video: Color is the most obvious way to start identifying a gem or mineral. After all if it isn't green it isn't an emerald. Is there an app to identify stones? Rock & Crystal Identifier allows you to identify rocks with
Why does aragonite form in one case and an acetate in another?
Earth scienceAsked by: Danielle Botello Aragonite accepts a low concentration of it. Then surplus Mg could be considered chemical waste while acetic acid is a chemical reactant. In the case you get calcium acetate, acetic acid accepts Ca and it is transformed, but in this case is just a chemical reactant and his structure is not
Is there any correlation between La Niña/El Niño and seismic activity?
Earth scienceAsked by: Danielle Botello Does El Niño cause earthquakes? In the first article, Daniel A. Walker of the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics at the University of Hawaii suggested that earthquakes along the East Pacific Rise were related to the vast changes of El Nino, which climate experts refer to as the Southern Oscillation.29 нояб. 1988
Where are the poles of rotation of the tectonic plates located?
Earth scienceAsked by: Ian Rice Where are tectonic plates located? Tectonic plates are gigantic pieces of the Earth’s crust and uppermost mantle. They are made up of oceanic crust and continental crust. Earthquakes occur around mid-ocean ridges and the large faults which mark the edges of the plates. What term is given to the pole around
Predicting the weather in two months
Earth scienceAsked by: Ian Rice How accurate are weather forecasts 2 months out? The Short Answer: A seven-day forecast can accurately predict the weather about 80 percent of the time and a five-day forecast can accurately predict the weather approximately 90 percent of the time. However, a 10-day—or longer—forecast is only right about half the time.
