The 2 level portion in the graph represents the changing of state.

Every substance has internal energy, which includes kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy means the temperature, and the potential energy means the bondings or attractions.

When a substance is heated up, they first increase their temperature as the same state. For example, the ice starts at - 5 °C, they won't start melting immediately as they're not at their melting point yet. Instead, they first absorb heat and increase their temperature to 0°C. This is same for when water increase their temperature until their boiling point. Their kinetic energy is increasing, but potential energy is unchanged as they stay at the same state. That's why the slope is increasing.

However, but once the ice or water has reached their melting or boiling point, they have to go through a state change. During that time, they do not increase their temperature (K.E. unchanged) . Instead, the heat they absorbed is used to increase the potential energy to break the bonds and turn into another state. The heat absorbed is called latent heat.

This explains why in the graph, there's 2 level portions, as the substance is going through a state change and increasing their potential energy instead of their kinetic energy (temperature)

Contrast what happens to thermal energy in evaporation and condensation
Alex17521 [72]
Answer - Will try to Answer in simplest form with Reasoning. Since no one responded.

1.Solar-Thermal energy. For example the sun radiates thermal energy aka heat which then turns Liquid aka Water in gas molecules because they are escaping. (Evaporation) 

2. Condensation happens when the water molecule vapor clump together before thermal energy can be separated by it. Such as the clouds which they form tiny vapor/mist. Thats why when your on a plane and when you hit thru that cloud at hundreds of mph. Your hitting water molecules lol.

How do the tides affect organisms that live in tidal waters?
4vir4ik [10]
<span>Tides and currents carry nutrients, moderate temperatures, and influence conditions in numerous ecosystems. The relationship between society and tides and currents is obvious as coastal cities built to withstand prescribed levels of tidal surge are now being impacted by record breaking tidal surges, and the building of solid coastal structures do not allow waves to dissipate energy on land but deflect their energy to other coastal areas along the shore.

hope this helps</span>

In primary succession, newly exposed or newly formed rock is colonized by living things for the first time. In secondary succession, an area that was previously occupied by living things is disturbed, then re-colonized following the disturbance.
