Dynamic Planet B/C
Re: Dynamic Planet B/C
What are some suggestions or resources to look into for the mathematical portion of this event? I've been having a lot of trouble with identifying the most salient equations and consistently miss the most points in those sections.

What is the subject for Dynamic Planet next year?

Re: Dynamic Planet B/C
Encyclopedia Britannica is kind of Wikipedia, though you cannot edit it. It is meant to be used for students and therefore it usually summarizes the topic for you. .edu sites are from Universities and are generally more reliable. I recommend http://serc.carleton.edu/mathyouneed/hy ... index.html.cookie75 wrote:https://www.britannica.com/science/hypsometric-curveDat_soccer_girl_16 wrote:What are hypsometric curves, or can someone lead me to a good source?

I actually don't know any on the top of my head. Try going to Soinc?BrS wrote:What are some suggestions or resources to look into for the mathematical portion of this event?

Re: Dynamic Planet B/C
The consensus appears to be that such a resource (compiled, anyway) doesn't exist. My thought was there might be a lab manual used in undergraduate laboratories that contain these sorts of activities all together...appears not. The advice I was given was to look up different quantitative activities separately on the Internet.BrS wrote:What are some suggestions or resources to look into for the mathematical portion of this event?

A fair bit of the math is basic rate algebra. There are probably earthquake equations, I suppose.

Isostatic Adjustment/equilibrium
Viscosity and velocity calculations
Movement rates of plates
Earthquake magnitudes and other things
Some more things for another day.

Re: Dynamic Planet B/C
I'm in division B, and movement rates of plates has popped up on every single test I've taken at a tournament this year (i think earthquake magnitudes came up once, but i'm not sure).appleshake123 wrote:Some math topics:BrS wrote:What are some suggestions or resources to look into for the mathematical portion of this event?

Re: Dynamic Planet B/C
Hey does anyone know if glaciers remove land or increase land mass? Because I thought they eroded the land but according to the test on the test exchange the leave behind more land.
