Answer:
Shear stress, force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress. The resultant shear is of great importance in nature, being intimately related to the downslope movement of earth materials and to earthquakes.
Answer:
A molecule called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is passed from adult organisms to their offspring during reproduction. This molecule containsthe instructions for an organism to develop, grow, survive and reproduce.
Hello there!
Essentially, a control variable is what is kept the same throughout the experiment, and it is not of primary concern in the experimental outcome. Any change in a control variable in an experiment would invalidate the correlation of dependent variables (DV) to the independent variable (IV), thus skewing the results.
Wouldn't it be neat if an electron falling closer to the nucleus ... emitting a
photon ... actually gave out more energy than it needed to climb to its original
energy level by absorbing a photon ! If there were some miraculous substance
that could do that, we'd have it made.
All we'd need is a pile of it in our basement, with a bright light bulb over the pile,
connected to a tiny hand-crank generator.
Whenever we wanted some energy, like for cooking or heating the house, we'd
switch the light bulb on, point it towards the pile, and give the little generator a
little shove. It wouldn't take much to git 'er going.
The atoms in the pile would absorb some photons, raising their electrons to higher
energy levels. Then the electrons would fall back down to lower energy levels,
releasing more energy than they needed to climb up. We could take that energy,
use some of it to keep the light bulb shining on the pile, and use the extra to heat
the house or run the dishwasher.
The energy an electron absorbs when it climbs to a higher energy level (forming
the atom's absorption spectrum) is precisely identical to the energy it emits when
it falls back to its original level (creating the atom's emission spectrum).
Energy that wasn't either there in the atom to begin with or else pumped
into it from somewhere can't be created there.
You get what you pay for, or, as my grandfather used to say, "For nothing
you get nothing."
Location A receives more rainfall than Location B due to the rain shadow effect.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Rain shadow effect is caused due to the presence of mountains.
- A rain shadow area is an area of land that has been forced to become dry, devoid of any vegetation growth due to the blockage of precipitation by mountains. These rain shadow areas will have a dry climate.
- The other side of the mountain would receive plenty of precipitation and therefore would be flourished with plant growth. These areas will have a cool and wet climate.
- In this case, Location A is on the other side of the mountain and so receives more rainfall or precipitation. Meanwhile, Location B is on the rain shadow region and so receives less rainfall.
