-- The potential energy of a 12-lb bowling ball up on the shelf
doesn't have anything to do with the temperature of the ball or
the shelf.
-- The potential energy of a jar full of gas does depend on the
temperature of the gas. The warmer it is, the greater its pressure
is, and the more work it can do if you let it out through a little hole
in the jar. If it gets hot enough, it'll have enough potential energy
to blow the jar to smithereens.
Cryptologist is not a scientist.
-- A tornado follows a path that's a few miles wide, for a few hours.
Then it's all over.
-- A hurricane follows a path that's several hundred miles wide,
for a week or two, before it's over.
Then comes the rain, continuing on the same path, for another week.
Answer: A... Thermal energy from the ice is transferred to the air.
Explanation: because I just know.
The correct answer to fill
in the blank would be:
“a barrier island”
Barrier islands are
coastal landforms and a category of dune system that are remarkably even or
lumpy areas of sand that was formed by wave and tidal actions that are parallel
to the mainland coast. Due to this feature, there are no enough sand blockades
to minimize the destruction by Hurricane Sandy.
