Calculating the potential energy (PE) of a falling object is a fairly simple process involving only a few numbers and a bit of arithmetic. To figure out the change in potential energy, you do the calculation twice: once for the…
Under certain conditions, living things can leave behind impressions of themselves in the form of fossils. Fossils are the remains or impressions of organisms, preserved in petrified molds or casts. They are particularly useful to biologists who can use them…
Lava rock, also known as igneous rock, is formed when volcanic lava or magma cools and solidifies. It is one of the three main rock types found on Earth, along with metamorphic and sedimentary. Typically, eruption occurs when there is…

Root vegetables like carrots and beets, and tubers — potatoes — grow underground. The root stores energy for the plant, which translates into energy for people when eaten. Food grown underground is typically rich in carbohydrates, the energy cells of…
