Interesting Insights on Cinder Cones

Interesting Insights on Cinder Cones

As far as “fire mountains” go, cinder cones aren’t terribly big, but they certainly embody the classic form of a stereotypical volcano: conical, steep-sided and usually topped with a crater. These pointy buttes pepper many volcanic provinces of the world,…

Exploring the Similarities Between Weather and Climate

Exploring the Similarities Between Weather and Climate

Different geographical areas experience weather unique to that area. In the northern United States one might experience particularly cold and snowy weather while southwestern states such as Arizona and New Mexico experience warm days even in the winter months. The…

Calculating DC Voltage

Calculating DC Voltage

Through Ohm’s law, you can calculate the voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R) of a DC circuit. From that you can also calculate the power at any point in the circuit. Step 1 Follow Ohm’s law: Voltage (V) =…

Measuring Acidity and Alkalinity Understanding pH Levels

Measuring Acidity and Alkalinity Understanding pH Levels

When testing the acidity or alkalinity of an item you are referring to the pH, also known as potential hydrogen. The pH of an item is measured by finding the concentration of hydrogen ions an item contains in moles. Measuring…

Calculating Average Increase

Average increase refers to the average rate of growth that a variable experiences within a given period. You can apply the math and theory behind average increase to many real-life situations, such as speed, finances or population growth. Calculating average…

Finding the Coordinates of a Hole in a Graph

Finding the Coordinates of a Hole in a Graph

Rational equations can have what are called discontinuities. Nonremovable discontinuities are vertical asymptotes, invisible lines that the graph approaches but does not touch. Other discontinuities are called holes. Finding and graphing a hole often involves simplifying the equation. This leaves…

Simple Methods for Melting Copper

Simple Methods for Melting Copper

If you want to melt copper at home, you’ll be pleased to know you don’t need an industrial induction furnace to do it. If you’re only melting small amounts of copper, you can do it with a blowtorch or on…

Increasing pH Levels with Baking Soda in Water

Increasing pH Levels with Baking Soda in Water

The pH scale runs from 0 to 14, with 0 representing acidic solutions like battery acid and 14 representing alkaline solutions like liquid drain cleaner. Baking soda rests around 8.4 on the pH scale, slightly above the neutral mark of…

Understanding the Velvet on Deer Antlers

Understanding the Velvet on Deer Antlers

When you see deer with fuzzy antlers, you are seeing a deer in velvet. That velvet provides nutrition and growth to deer antlers. This special tissue is a type of skin, loaded with blood vessels and nerves, that regenerates every…
