Isn't 35 years the definition for this?

PurpleFistMixer · 03-01-2005 7:50pm

The definition I have is "the average weather conditions over a large area of land calculated over 35 years".

Squirrel · 04-01-2005 6:05pm

Its not definately 35 years so I was advised to say a long period of time, it would probably be better to put e.g: 35 years, after it though

Actually the question was "what is hardening and tempering?" but I think nobody was answering because nobody does metalwork, or something...

Well, whatever it is, I know neither answer. Is something like that likely to come up?

PurpleFistMixer · 14-01-2005 10:35pm

Emigration - leaving your country to live in another.
Immigration - coming in to a country to live in it.

Or something along those lines. I don't think I have an actual definition, in fancy, definitive words, so that will have to suffice.

Name and describe in a single sentence the/a main character of a novel you have studied

PurpleFistMixer · 15-01-2005 1:32am

What a curious question. I'll give it a go...

Atticus Finch, with his egalitarian views, is a steady rock for all those around him, a shelter from the prejudice and narrow-mindedness of the times.

From a writing point of view, that is not a good sentence whatsoever, but it has the desired points included, so meh.

(i) The Anschluss (annexation) of Austria, redrawing of the border with Czechoslovakia and the invasion of Poland led the UK, France and Poland (the original Allies) to the conclusion that Hitler's demand would get greater and greater.

(ii) The UK and France felt threatened by the expansion of fascism, in Germany, Spain, Italy and it's empire and less so by communism.

(iii) The historical legacy (loss of life, cost, disruption, loss of prestige) of WWI - and for France the Franco-Prussian War - led the UK and France to believe Germany needed to be defeated conclusively.

Name the first twenty elements of the periodic table..or just give their symbol.

PurpleFistMixer · 17-01-2005 8:08pm

... do we actually have to know that for the JC? I thought the periodic table was in the maths tables.

Raphael · 17-01-2005 8:53pm

It is. Along with a large amount of phyics formulae \o/

Anyway, name an example of an endothermic reaction

PurpleFistMixer · 17-01-2005 9:50pm

There's undoubtedly a science term for this, but the science book is all far away and stuff. So... fire? As in.. burning?

Raphael · 17-01-2005 9:55pm

Thats exothermic PFM. Though burning coal is a perfect example of an exothermic reaction

PurpleFistMixer · 17-01-2005 9:58pm

Ah yes.

How about melting ice then?

(I should really stop this tendency to guess crazily at answers)

Victor · 17-01-2005 11:20pm

Not a reaction as there is not chemical change.

Vinegar + baking soda in endothermic.

Iron oxide + charcoal (carbon) + heat = Iron + Carbon dioxide

Name four(4) methods of dating artifacts found

Erm, historical record?

do we actually have to know that for the JC? I thought the periodic table was in the maths tables.

Yes, but you are meant to know the first twenty anyway. Its handy to know the next 10.

Learn it by rhyme:

"Hydrogen, Helium.
Lithium, Beryllium.
Boron, Carbon.
Nitrogen, Oxygen, Flourine and Neon.

Sodium, Magnesium, Silicon, ....."

Gah. Even after all these years I can get most of the way, so ye should be able to get most of the way there.

Actually its:

"Hydrogen, Helium.
Lithium, Beryllium.
Boron, Carbon.
Nitrogen, Oxygen, Flourine and Neon.

Sodium, Magnesium.
Aluminium, Silicon.
Sulphur, Chlorine, Argon.

Potassium, Calcium....."

PurpleFistMixer · 17-01-2005 11:26pm

Describe the actions in the formation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

JBoyle4eva · 18-01-2005 12:04am

A lot of these are history, which I don't do.

Any chance another subject will come up?

PurpleFistMixer · 18-01-2005 12:06am

Woah you get an option to do history?

And is that question in referring to the creation of Northern Ireland, older plantations kind of Act of Union things, or more recent history that I've not done yet?

Victor · 18-01-2005 12:26am

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

The fundamental 3 steps in going from four countries to one.

Victor · 23-01-2005 9:39pm

OK under the "Acts of Union" passed in 1536 and 1543 Wales and England joined to form Britain, Scotland under the Act of Union 1707 joined to form [edit]the (United Kingdom of) [/edit] Great Britain. Ireland under the Act of Union 1800 joined to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Define Respiration

declan_lgs · 27-01-2005 10:22pm

when O2 is used to make energy in the body cells, and releases CO2

explain the process of sexual reproduction

Raphael · 28-01-2005 4:55pm

When a man and a woman love each other very much.... =p

Seriously, the man releases semen which contains sperm and seminal fluid. The sperm enters the egg and fertilises it in the fallopean tubes. From there it travels down to the uterus and is implanted on the uterus wall (hopefully) it grows for 9 months, then comes out.

That's about the JC standard, I think. Open to the floor, cba thinking of a question

Take your pick. Yes I cheated blatantly, but what does this question have to do with the JC syllabus? O.o
Also that word site is really interesting... I now know plenty of useless trivia to ramble about in whatever exam I have next.

Now then, I've been contrary enough. Time to do music theory homework.
And if anyway wants a question...
Eh...
Name 3 features of glacial erosion. Now there's an easy one for you.

The Fitz · 29-01-2005 12:41am

well its antidisestablishmentarianism for any1 who cares, people who are against people who are against government

Raphael · 29-01-2005 5:29pm

Actually, antidisestablishmentarianism refers specifically to people who were opposed to the seperation of church from state in britain

Newton is the unit of force, it can also be expressed as kg m s^-2. I can only assume you're referring to it in terms of weight, in which case 1 N weight = 0.1 kg

Define erosion
