Sentences with phrase «because water density»

Not exact matches

The parts of the phase diagram where low - density water is thought to occur are notoriously difficult to explore, the so - called «water's no - man's land,» because they require a path through a series of very specific, very difficult conditions.

«Because ice is lower density than water, you get less gravity when you have a big chunk of ice there than when you have water,» Nimmo explained.

Because Sirius B is so faint, its surface area and thus its volume must be very small, and its average density is on the order of 100,000 times that of water.

Currents in the deep ocean exist because of changes in the density of sea water occurring at the surface.

Because water has much greater density and resistance than air, you will get a great resistance workout as well.

That's the reason why the density of the water at the pools is much higher and colder because there's more electrons in it.

Bacteria has a hard time living in honey because bacteria suffocate in it due to its density and low water percentage.

These food items should not be offered in larger amounts because they are water - rich and lack the nutrient density of the pelleted diets.

Photo Tip: I used a neutral density filter to capture this shot because I wanted to slow down my shutter speed in order to get a feather effect with the water.

In such cenotes, the layers of water remain stratified because of the density of the saltwater.

That happens because the density of the air is «diluted» by the addition of water vapour with a molecular weight of only 18 compared to air with a molecular weight of 29.

... Increases in temperatures of the higher latitudes would also decrease density because warmer water is less dense.

So because of this, you never go fishing on a boat, because of the fact that because of Murphy, you can't rule out that the specific gravity or density of water is so low that your boat will sink before you can say «physics sucks!»

In this regard, I would observe that at least one important AGW effect, rising sea level, does not depend on a specific regional outcome so much as on global mean T. (At least, I think this is so (because my understanding is that most of the rise comes from lower density of warmer water, not from melting ice sheets — though again, not 100 % sure on this point)-RRB-.

The deep ocean and surface water don't overturn because of differences in density, so the exchange is via global circulation.

There is also a small contribution to sea - level because of the different density of fresh and salt water.

It seems that those who fear AGW (or at least some of them) do admit that it is not realistic to expect a planetary atmosphere such as ours to warm up oceans of water over the timescale required by AGW theory because of the huge volume and density of that water and thus the heat storage differentials.

The only things that can change that resultant point of temperature equilibrium significantly are changes in solar radiance coming in and changes in overall atmospheric density (a function of mass and pressure) which affect the radiant energy going out or a change in the speed of the water cycle which, because of the unique characteristics of the phase changes of water altering the speed of energy flow through the system is capable of exerting a powerful regulatory effect.

Because going through 4 °C to lower temperatures water gets dense enough to sink and doesn't freeze, freezing water floats, so not independent of density and pressure and as these are due to gravity, not independent of that either.

Adding the influence of water vapor concentration to the density profile makes the difference between the densities of the two cases a little larger, because water vapor lowers the density as H2O molecules are lighter than average for dry air.

The trees were able to endure such low water potentials and maintain basal levels of metabolism because ecological forcings kept the tree density and leaf area index of the woodland low, physiological factors forced the stomata to close progressively and the trees were able to tap deeper water sources (below 0.6 m) than the grasses.

Wave energy is alluring because, due to water's density, waves and tides can easily generate more electricity than renewables such as wind and solar power.

Not to worry, because anywhere and everywhere that the earth is covered by water, the top 2 - 3 inches of that water (more depth and density when temperatures are higher) are covered with small green plants!

Momentum — the effect here is that a «parcel of water» that has begun moving upwards because of its buoyancy will continue moving upwards even when it encounters exactly equal density water — due to its momentum.

i) Evaporation occurs primarily because of pressure and density differentials between water and air.

I have no concept of how often a photon will «tip» a molecule to evaporate, but I don't think it's a high proportion because one thing I do have a concept of is that the density of photons in a 400W / m2 beam of DLR is far greater than the number of water molecules capable of absorbing that DLR.

On the contrary, whatever warm, hypersaline water sinks below the surface because of its great density is mixed relatively quickly by winds into the upper layer of the ocean, where it transfers its heat to colder parcels by conduction.
