The same thing happens when powerful winds generate surface activity on the oceans. Some of the winds are perpetual planetary features, generated by a combination of the Coriolis Effect, which is a result of the
What have 20 months of HF radar surface currents told us about the Fraser River plume?Halverson, MPawlowicz, R
What sets surface currents in motion?surface current: Water from the oceanic flows around the surface in expectable patterns. Surface currents may run for thousands and hundreds of meters deep. Surface currents are highly significant because they spread heat throughout the world and influence weather...
usually by oxidizing the surface of the electrode material, whereas non-electrolytic (often called “electrostatic” capacitors) use dielectric materials that are generally formed through various mechanical processes and are not a chemical derivative of the electrode material itself. This...
Hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth, according toNASA. At heart, hurricanes are fueled by just two ingredients: heat and water. Hurricanes are seeded over the warm waters above the equator, where the air above the ocean's surface takes in heat and moisture. As the hot air rise...
B.The skeletons of some soft corals are in fact so dense and strengthened with protein and minerals that they are highly prized as jewelry. C.Each of the many species of hard corals has a characteristic shape, but a colony’s form is also significantly influenced by local environmental condit...
such as light amplification or a corona camera can be used to allow more accurate measurement, examination of corona inception on “actual” parts depends greatly on factors such as local shape and dimensions, surface quality, etc. that are not easily addressed by the numerical simulation ...
All processes that involve carrying out and controlling a function are examples of homeostasis. This occurs whether it's made possible by the nervous system, hormonal system, or electrical currents. An easy example of regulation via homeostasis is a system that controls the temperature in the room...
an epidemic or a public-health crisis for which policy solutions are the primary answer. While doing so rightly calls attention to a dire need for intervention, it also limits recognition of the deeper biases, currents, and fissures that shape what guns mean, and what they come to represent....
Ocean currents are movements of the ocean's water that are both directed and continuous. Essentially water flows in the same pattern continuously. These currents are driven by a variety of factors in including differences in salinity, temperature, the breaking of waves, and the ...
