Problem: Given the question: Given the background: The frequency of a wave is the same as the frequency of the vibrations that caused the wave. For example, to generate a higher-frequency wave in a rope, you must move the rope up and down more quickly. This takes more energy, so a higher-frequency wave has more energy than a lower-frequency wave with the same amplitude. You can see examples of different frequencies in the Figure below (Amplitude is the distance that particles of the medium move when the energy of a wave passes through them.) and the situation: John was tuning his musical instruments with two tuning forks, fork A and fork B. He produced higher frequency with fork A and lower frequency with fork B. Interestingly, both frequencies had the same amplitude. Answer the following question: Which fork would have higher frequency of the vibrations, fork A or fork B?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
fork A

Problem: Given the question: Given the background: Depleted soils can be protected from soil erosion by groundcover plants such as naturally growing grasses in agroforestry systems. These help to stabilise the soil as they increase cover compared to short-cycle cropping systems. Soil cover is a crucial factor in preventing erosion. Cleaner water through reduced nutrient and soil surface runoff can be a further advantage of agroforestry. The runoff can be reduced by decreasing its velocity and increasing infiltration into the soil. Compared to row-cropped fields nutrient uptake can be higher and reduce nutrient loss into streams.Further advantages concerning plant growth: and the situation: Rob is an environmental scientist. He was doing a study on agroforestry. To test the sustainability of agroforestry he conducted two pilot projects, pilot A and pilot B. In pilot A, he used a land for agrofroestry. In pilot B, he used a land for usual row-cropping. He needed to find the pros and cons of both systems. Answer the following question: Would pilot A see less or more clean water than pilot B?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
more

Problem: Given the question: Given the background: Thermoclines, or sudden changes in temperature. Where the air temperature is higher than the water temperature, shallow water may be warmed by the air and the sunlight but deeper water remains cold resulting in a lowering of temperature as the diver descends. This temperature change may be concentrated over a small vertical interval, when it is called a thermocline.[3][4] Where cold, fresh water enters a warmer sea the fresh water may float over the denser saline water, so the temperature rises as the diver descends.[3] In lakes exposed to geothermal activity, the temperature of the deeper water may be warmer than the surface water. This will usually lead to convection currents.[3] and the situation: Deep lake presents geothermal activity, while Shallow lake has mixing of saline water with fresh water. Deep lake had more instances of divers having problems because of thermoclines. Answer the following question: Which lake has less geothermal activity?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
Shallow lake
