Earlier we discussed the concept of isostasy, where lower density rocks rise higher than higher density rocks. How is the variat
Elena L [17]

The variation of water depth at spreading centers (ridges) controlled by isostasy  as convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.

<h3>What is convective heat transfer?</h3>

When heat transfer takes place between the two fluids in direct or indirect contact.

The lithosphere cools when it moves away from the ridge axis by sea floor spreading. The cooler rocks have low density, so the sea floor gets deeper as the lithosphere gets more dense.

Thus, the convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.

Describe the body's typical state during the first stage of sleep. (Site 1)
Ksju [112]

Answer:

There are four different stages of sleep.

Stage 1 NREM

Explanation:

<em>The process of firmly falling asleep has four stages through which a person goes.</em>

<em>It goes from being awake over light sleep and falling firmly into sleeping.</em>

(STAGE 1)

This is a stage in which there are non-rapid movements of the eyes. In other words, it is a process of dreamless sleep. You enter this stage the moment you decide to sleep and shut your eyes. After several minutes, your body is in fact in the sleeping mode, but not entirely. This means that you can easily be woken up without being aware that you have slept.

Features:

  1. <em>You can easily awake</em>
  2. <em>Your may roll and they may be a little open</em>
  3. <em>The blood pressure and the temperature of the brain start to decrease </em>
  4. <em>You experience the natural human reflexes that the brain sends to assure that the place of your sleep is in a safe environment. By sending twitches to your muscles, your brain may awake your body for several seconds which comes in handy if you are tired and close to sleep on work or some dangerous place like a cliff for example.</em>
  5. <em>Your breading starts to slow down alongside with your pressure and temperature, and your heartbeats slow down.</em>

What is the frequency of a wave with speed 3m/s and wavelength 6m?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

f = 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

frequency = f

wave length = l

speed of wave = v

f = v/l → f = 3/6 = ½ = 0.5 Hz

What is the frequency of X-rays of 10 nm wavelength? 6 x 1016 Hz 3 x 1016 Hz 3.00 Hz 6 x 108 Hz
Evgesh-ka [11]

The frequency of any wave is  (wave speed) / (wavelength) .

The speed of light is  3 x 10⁸ m/s.
If the wavelength is 10 nm (10⁻⁸ m) , then the frequency is

                         (3 x 10⁸) / (10⁻⁸)  =  <em>3 x 10¹⁶ Hz</em>

That's 30 million gigahertz !
