While cookies are baking in the oven, heat transfer occurs to make them bake correctly. As said by the author Nora Fulmer, heat transfer is the process where an item comes into contact with a heat source and exchange thermal energy between two objects. It is a complex process that removes bacteria, while cooking food. Heat energy is created and transferred when food becomes hot, its molecules absorb energy and begin bouncing off each other. The first type of heat transfer is conduction.…

I. INTRODUCTION HE versatility of muscles is a crucial factor for efficient animal locomotion. In combination with a high degree of force control muscles enable precise motions depending on the wanted action. Animal locomotion involves (a) fine motor skills like sneaking, grabbing and communication; (b) quick short term acceleration like catching prey; (c) very long-term movement patterns which need to be performed efficient like digesting, migration and sometimes even (d) avoiding motion by…

Rain occurs when condensed moisture in the atmosphere falls to the ground in separate, visible drops and it provides us with another source of water and can be used to provide plants with water such as in rainforests or countryside. The hydrologic cycle allows for rain to form and pour down in different areas. Water from oceans, swamps, lakes, rivers are evaporated and turn into water vapor due to the water being heated by the sun or other means. This water vapor rises into the troposphere…
