What are sonar waves?
Give this one a try later!
- determines the depth of ocean floor
- in general use this formula: D=(T/2) × V
- D is depth of water; T is arrival time for sonar (sound)
waves, and V is velocity of sound waves
- example: Assume that the travel time for sonar (sound)
waves is 2 seconds and that the sound waves have velocity
equal to 1500 meters/second then depth = (2/2) × 1500 =
1500 meters
What is the amount of heat involved in the sublimation process?
Give this one a try later!
, is the sum of heat involved in two
individual processes; same thing
Atmosphere
Give this one a try later!
envelope of gases around Earth from the surface to 100km
from the surface
How do you heat an object?
Give this one a try later!
- the object is supposed to absorb heat
- objects that
absorb heat (not reflect heat) will have higher temperatures (will be
warm/hot)
Where do most of weather phenomena happen?
Give this one a try later!
in the troposphere
, What type of mass do inner/terrestrial and outer/Jovian planets have?
Give this one a try later!
- inner/terrestrial planets have lower mass because they are small
- outer/Jovian planets have higher mass because they are big
How do clouds form and in what order?
Give this one a try later!
The following steps explain the formation of clouds in order:
1. Air with water vapor rises
2. Atmospheric pressure decreases
3. Air with water vapor expands and temperature of air decreases
adiabatically
4. If temperature of air (carrying water vapor) goes below dew point, water
vapor condenses to water droplets giving clouds
What happens when light approaches a person and what happens to light when it
moves? Use the Doppler Effect figure
Give this one a try later!
when light approaches a person, the light waves are compresses producing
blue light and when the same light waves move away from the same
person the light waves are stretched and the blue color changes to red
color
