Explanation:

<u>Fahrenheit Scale </u>

Fahrenheit temperature scale is the scale which is based on:

(a) For freezing point of the water, 32 °F.

(b) For boiling point of the water, 212 °F.  

With interval between two being divided into equal 180 parts.

<u> Celsius Scale </u>

Celsius temperature scale is the scale which is based on:  

(a) For freezing point of the water, 0 °C

(b) For boiling point of the water, 100 °C.

With interval between two being divided into equal 100 parts.

<u>Kelvin Scale </u>

It denotes the triple point of water where the solid, liquid, and gas phases exist in equilibrium which is at 273.16 K.

kelvin is defined as 1/ 273.16 of triple point temperature.

Compare the strength of the intermolecular forces in solids liquids and gases
telo118 [61]

Intermolecular forces in solids are strongest than in liquids and gases. Gases have the least strong intermolecular forces. Intermolecular forces are weak and are significant over short distances between molecules (determined by Coulomb’s law). The farther away from the molecules the weaker the intermolecular forces. Since molecules in solids are the closest, the intermolecular force between them as the strongest. Conversely, since gas molecules are farthest apart, the intermolecular forces between them are the weakest.

Why are hurricanes getting more intense
Bond [772]
Urricanes<span> act as giant heat engines, so it is logical to assume that an </span>increase<span> in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) will make more intense </span>hurricanes<span>. Indeed, there is a general consensus among </span>hurricane<span> scientists that an </span>increase<span> in SSTs due to global warming, should, in theory, lead to more intense </span>hurricanes<span>.</span>As the storm gets stronger, it gets rounder and the eye begins to form. Really stronghurricanes<span> have very clear round eyes like the one in this picture. The most intense winds in a </span>hurricane are in the thunderstorms that form the eyewall. Tropical cyclones strengthen when all of the conditions are right for them.
