Geosphere

The geosphere refers to the solid part of Earth, encompassing the rocks, minerals, towering landforms like mountains, to grains of sand. It also includes the oceanic crust, the Earth’s molten rock interior, fossilized remains, and skeletons of once-living organisms. The crust can be continental or oceanic crust. The continental crust forms the landmasses we inhabit. In contrast, the oceanic crust lies beneath the vast expanses of the world’s oceans. The thickness of the crust ranges from about 5 kilometers (3 miles) beneath the ocean floor to approximately 70 kilometers (43 miles) beneath some mountain ranges....

Momentum

Momentum is a fundamental property in physics and is defined as the product of the object’s mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity having both magnitude and direction. A car moving on a road has momentum. A soccer ball gathers momentum when it is kicked. Formula Since momentum is the product of mass and velocity, it is given by Momentum = mass x velocity p = mˑv Where p is the momentum...

Nekton

Nektons are marine organisms that can swim and move independently of moving water. Apart from some mollusks and crustaceans, most nektons are vertebrates. Some examples of nektonic organisms are whales, fish, reptiles, and birds. They live at all depths of the ocean. Most live closer to the surface due to the presence of food. Some nektons start as planktons, those that cannot swim against the moving water currents but are considered nektons once they gain swimming ability....

Neutron Emission

Neutron emission is a type of radioactive decay in which an unstable atomic nucleus releases a neutron. This process typically occurs when the nucleus has an excess of neutrons, making it unstable, or when it is excited to a higher energy state due to previous reactions. In such cases, emitting a neutron allows the nucleus to achieve a more stable energy state. Since the neutron is electrically neutral, it does not ionize atoms directly but can interact with nearby nuclei, sometimes inducing further reactions and potentially leading to chain reactions....

Phosphorylation

Phosphorylation is a biochemical process through which a phosphate group (PO 4 3- ) is transferred from one molecule to another, under the influence of a specialized group of enzymes, kinases. Here, a phosphate group is added via an ester bond. Sometimes, phosphorylation is called phosphorylate, where a phosphoryl group (PO 3 2− ) is added to another organic compound. Its reverse process is called dephosphorylation, where the added phosphate group can easily be removed again....

Transverse Wave

Mechanical waves are produced when particles vibrate in a medium through which the wave propagates. A transverse wave is a mechanical wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation . Imagine holding one end of a rope and quickly flicking it up and down. The resulting wave travels along the rope while the particles of the rope move up and down. Characteristics 1....

Angular Acceleration

In rotational dynamics, angular or rotational acceleration is the time rate of change of angular velocity. It measures how quickly an object’s rotation speeds up or slows down. For instance, when a skater pushes her arms down, she rotates faster. When the driver slams a car’s brakes, the wheels slow down. Therefore, the skater and the wheels have angular acceleration. Angular acceleration is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction....

Cilia And Flagella

Cilia and flagella are two cell organelles primarily found in protozoa, such as amoeba, paramecium, and euglena. However, they are also found in other microorganisms, such as bacteria, algae, and fungi, and in animals, except for higher plants. They are motile cellular appendages made of microtubules and remain covered by the plasma membrane. Both cilia and flagella aid in movement. Cilia and Flagella Compare and Contrast Cilia and Flagella Although cilia and flagella share many characteristics, they are also different in a number of ways....

How Do Fish Breathe

Like any other living entity, fishes also breathe to survive. They take up oxygen and expel carbon dioxide as the waste product. The oxygen helps to break down their ingested food and release energy. So, there is a demand for a constant supply of oxygen to carry out all their physiological life processes. Unlike land animals, including humans that use lungs to take in oxygen directly from the air, fishes use a specialized organ to obtain oxygen dissolved in water....

Ionizing Radiation

What is Ionizing Radiation? Ionizing radiation is a kind of radiation which has enough energy in it to knock out electrons from atoms or molecules and make them charged or ionized. Forms of Ionizing Radiation There can be two forms of this radiation. One is wave form and another, particulate form. Instances of the first form are the high-frequency electromagnetic waves whereas electrons, protons, neutrons, alpha particles, beta particles, etc., are examples of the particulate form....

Newton’S Law Of Cooling

Newton’s law of cooling is an empirical law to model the temperature of an object based on radiative cooling. It states that the object’s temperature changes at a rate proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. This law is a reasonably accurate approximation to some extent. The law is named after British mathematician Isaac Newton, who published it in 1701. Newton did not initially state his law in its current form....

Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the two essential life processes on Earth that help living organisms survive. They are interrelated such that the products of one process are the reactants of the other and thus work in a cycle. Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration How are Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Related Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and algae make food in the form of carbohydrates (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) using water (H 2 O), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), and chlorophyll in the presence of sunlight as the energy source....

Turbulent Flow

Turbulent flow or turbulence is a phenomenon that occurs when a fluid, such as water or air, moves irregularly and chaotically. It is characterized by the formation of eddies and vortices within the fluid. Instead of traveling in parallel paths, the fluid particles collide and mix, creating eddies and disturbances. Turbulent flow usually results from low-viscosity fluids moving at high velocities. Examples Examples of turbulence can be observed in everyday life....

Vascular Bundle

Vascular bundles are long, fluid channels of vascular tissues found in the stems, leaves, and rhizomes of vascular plants. Like our veins, arteries, and capillaries, plants mainly have two different vascular tissues, xylem and phloem. Xylem is the dead, permanent tissue occupying the center of the vascular bundle. In contrast, the phloem is the living, permanent tissue surrounding the xylem. In addition to the xylem and phloem, vascular tissues called cambium are present between them that create new vascular tissues as plants grow....

Wave

I am interested in a way of estimating the effect of a boat of certain mass and speed, travelling straight on course, through still water, and causing a wave of water, travelling outwards from the bow, at an angle of 45 degrees. Observation shows the wave will continue for a certain distance, seemingly depending on the weight/displacement, of the hull, the speed of travel of the boat, and water temperature, assuming no ambient wind effects, and water level being at an elevation of 600 feet above sea level....
