How do you calculate the depth of penetration in a Schlumberger array?
Earth scienceAsked by: Amber Candelaria How does Schlumberger array work? The Schlumberger array is an array where four electrodes are placed in line around a common midpoint. The two outer electrodes, A and B, are current electrodes, and the two inner electrodes, M and N, are potential electrodes placed close together. What is the difference between
Why isn’t Iberia a tectonic plate?
Earth scienceAsked by: Amber Candelaria Is Spain on a tectonic plate? The Iberian peninsula is located at the point where the Eurasian tectonic plate, the African tectonic plate and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge – a volcanic mountain range that divides the ocean into north and south – converge. Which plate is the Iberian peninsula on? The Iberian
What is the difference between Waste Disposal Services and Waste heat?
Earth scienceAsked by: Karen Chance What is waste heat? Waste heat is the unused heat given to the surrounding environment (in the form of thermal energy) by a heat engine in a thermodynamic process in which it converts heat to useful work. What is an example of waste heat? Sources of waste heat include for example
Tsunami Characteristics
TsunamiAsked by: Karen Chance As the waves slow down, they can grow in height and currents intensify. Most tsunamis are less than 10 feet high, but in extreme cases, can exceed 100 feet. When a tsunami comes ashore, it will not look like a normal wind wave. It may look like a fast-rising flood or
How high could snow form on a mountain?
Earth scienceAsked by: Alan Savage How high can snow form? Snow falls at sea level poleward of latitude 35° N and 35° S, though on the west coast of continents it generally falls only at higher latitudes. Close to the equator, snowfall occurs exclusively in mountain regions—at elevations of about 4,900 metres (16,000 feet) or higher.
What is more important in Antarctica calving or basal melting of the ice shelves?
Earth scienceAsked by: Alan Savage Why is the ice shelf important to Antarctica? Collapsing ice shelves don’t contribute directly to rising sea levels because they are already floating on the ocean, but they do offer a critical line of defense. Ice shelves act as a brake for the glaciers that make up the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Humidity and Rainfall
Earth scienceAsked by: Kristen Flores How is humidity related to rainfall? Connection of Rain and Humidity When it rains, it will increase the relative humidity because of the evaporation. The air where the rain is falling may not be completely saturated with water vapor. However, the longer it rains, the more the humidity will increase because
What caused the earthquake in Kuwait on Nov 12, 2017?
Earth scienceAsked by: Kristen Flores The National Seismic Network, a Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) affiliate, confirmed that a 5.9-mangitude earthquake hit western Iran, causing the tremor felt in Kuwait. The epicenter of the earthquake in Iran was 10 kms in depth and it occurred 256 kms from Kuwait City, it added. Does Kuwait have
Thermohaline current in North Atlantic
Earth scienceAsked by: Hector Carrasco What kind of current is the North Atlantic Current? warm western boundary current The North Atlantic Current (NAC), also known as North Atlantic Drift and North Atlantic Sea Movement, is a powerful warm western boundary current within the Atlantic Ocean that extends the Gulf Stream northeastward. How does the North Atlantic
Why is the concentration of nitrogen gas almost equal in soil air and the atmosphere?
Earth scienceAsked by: Hector Carrasco Which gas would always have higher concentration in the soil compared to the atmosphere? From the composition of soil air, we know that oxygen is much less than that of atmospheric air. On the other hand, carbon dioxide is higher in soil. Why does the percentage of gases like oxygen nitrogen
