Look at the parts of the word ... you've seen them both before:

"Geo ..." . . . has something to do with the Earth.

"... thermal" . . . has something to do with heat.

"Geothermal" . . . "Earth heat".

You know that the Earth's core is liquid metals, at high temperature.
You may also know that when people go down into a deep mine, it's
always warm down there.

Some of the heat from the Earth's core soaks up through the Earth,
and there's actually a lot of it available without going too deep below
the surface.

You may have read about "hot springs" ... pools of water that are always
hot, because they extend down deep and get heated by the Earth's heat. 
And you may have seen pictures or videos of "geysers" ... deep holes in
rock where there's water down at the bottom, which gets heated by the
Earth's heat, and when it gets to boiling temperature, this stream of hot
water and steam comes shooting up out of the hole.  There are a lot of
those geysers in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.

Well, if there's enough of this hot water close enough to the surface,
then you can actually install pipes to bring it up to the surface, use the
hot water to heat houses and buildings, and even use the steam to spin
turbines and generate electric power !  Then you're using "Geothermal"
energy . . . "Earth heat".

The country of Iceland is almost completely based on geothermal
energy.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! More science questions coming soon!!
Naily [24]

Answer:

1.) A - 1,2,1,2

2.) Both forces can act without objects touching.

3.) C

Both can be modeled as waves having amplitude, frequency and wave lengths.

4.) A, B and C

Explanation:

1.) SO2 + ___ H2 ----------> _____ S + _______H2O

Looking at above equation, we have one molecule of surfur at the right hand side (RHS), and one molecule of surfur at the left hand side (LHS).

Two atoms of hydrogen and both RHS and LHS

But oxygen is not balanced. We have two atoms of oxygen at the RHS while having one at the LHS.

So let's make oxygen 2 atoms at LHS by adding 2 to water molecules and hydrogen molecules at the RHS.

SO2 + ___ 2H2 ----------> _____ S + _______2H2O

The correct answer is A - 1,2,1,2

2.) Both magnetic force and gravitational force obey inverse square law with distance. They are not directly proportional but inversely proportional to the square distance. B is the correct answer because Both forces can act without objects touching.

3.) Light waves are transverse waves which can travel through a vacuum without a medium while sound waves are longitudinal waves which cannot travel through vacuum without a medium. But both can be modeled as waves having amplitude, frequency and wave lengths.

4.) If an object is slowing down, due to conservation of energy,

The potential energy could be increasing, like a ball thrown into the air.

The kinetic energy could be lost to friction or air resistance.

The ball could be returning to its natural resting state.

If the average velocity during the athlete's walk back
goblinko [34]

Hence ,From the Guide there are other parameters which with this equation will give the exact time the athlete's walk back

T=\frac{d}{1.50}

From the question we are told

If the average velocity during the athlete's walk back  to the starting line in Guided Example 2.5 is – 1.50 m/s,

Generally the equation Time spent  is mathematically given as

T=\frac{d}{v}

Therefore

T=\frac{d}{1.50}

Hence ,From the Guide there are other parameters which with this equation will give the exact time the athlete's walk back

T=\frac{d}{1.50}

How do you compare the energies of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
faltersainse [42]

The different types of radiation in electromagnetic spectrum are compared by the amount of energy found in the photons.

Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio-waves. Infrared photons still have more energy, then comes visible, ultraviolet, x-rays and the most energetic of all, gamma rays.

The energy associated with electromagnetic radiation is proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. So, electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths have more energy.

On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light. On the other end of the spectrum are gamma rays with wavelengths billions of times smaller than those of visible light.
