The Science Center's plaza (foreground) as seen from the Harvard Science Center overlooking Harvard Yard Tanner Fountain in front of the Science Center. The Science Center comprises nine stories, plus a basement and observatory floor. It houses the History of Science, the Mathematics, and the Statistics Departments. Other facilities include: [15]
This is a list of science centers (spelt science centre in Commonwealth English) organized by continent. Science centers are a type of science museum that emphasizes an interactive, hands-on approach with its exhibitions.
Complex-crater morphology on rocky planets appears to follow a regular sequence with increasing size: small complex craters with a central topographic peak are called central-peak craters (e.g., Tycho); intermediate-sized craters, in which the central peak is replaced by a ring of peaks, are called peak ring craters (e.g., Schrödinger); and ...
The rim of Endurance Crater on Mars, as seen from the landing site of the Opportunity rover. Large craters are those with a diameter greater than 2.3 km, and are distinguished by central uplifts within the impact zone. [1] These larger (also called “complex”) craters can form rims up to several hundred meters in height.
A volcanic crater is a bowl-shaped depression in the ground caused by volcanic activity, usually located above the volcano's vent. [11] During volcanic eruptions, molten magma and volcanic gases rise from an underground magma chamber, through a conduit, until they reach the crater's vent, from where the gases escape into the atmosphere and the magma is erupted as lava.
The purpose of the association is to support the functions of career development, placement, and experiential education in the region. In 2006, Senator Schumer called for Rochester to become a math-science teaching center of excellence and gathered together presidents of Rochester colleges to establish a national math and science teaching center.
This misconception, sometimes called the equal transit-time fallacy, is widespread among textbooks and non-technical reference books, and even appears in pilot training materials. In fact, the air moving over the top of an aerofoil generating lift is always moving much faster than the equal transit theory would imply, [ 450 ] as described in ...
