Explaining involves clarifying how and why something happens, focusing on reasons and mechanisms, while describing involves detailing what something is like, focusing on characteristics and observations.
Explain, with examples, how the loss or introduction of a single species can have conservation consequences throughout a whole ecological community. Describe the greenhouse effect and how it relates to climate change. What happens when human change the earth's surface by...
What happens to the enzyme during the reaction? Is it being used up? Explain. Define a catalyst and explain a catalyst's role in a chemical reaction. How can you establish that oxygen is no longer present in a solution after bubbling nitrogen? How does nitrogen displace the oxygen that is...
This happens because the frequencies close to f are more linear than the high frequencies, resulting in an overall reduction of turbulent energy production. A difference in the energy pathways is also apparent in the comparison of Fig. 2A, B. We use these two cases as examples to show how ...
How? Just like in a refrigerator, the coolant flows through a compressor unit and some condensing pipes, which turn it back into a cool liquid ready to cycle round the loop again. What happens to the heat? In the unit outside the building, there are lots of metal plates that dissipate ...
in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times...
An easy-to-understand introduction to what happens inside a nuclear power plant, with photos and diagrams showing how everything works!
This happens if \(p\ge 0.53\) (this consistency range is not shaded for clarity), which implies that the bias does not need to be very strong (see Fig. 1 and the text below Eq. (17)). (b) Effect of the dispersal non-isotropy on the same Khoi-khoi front speed. For each value...
Different questions arise when one asks how people are changed as a result of their socialization into sports. Why do some people find their primary identity as athletes, and what happens when injury, age, or loss of motivation brings their athletic careers to an end? More generally, what ...
Many decades ago, Winston Churchill said the Queen was perfectly cast for her role.Spareasks: what happens to those royals for whom there is no role? And who would probably not be right for the role, even if it came to them? There is no good answer. ...
