Ice on a planet's
surface
is also important for climate.
But later, when the launchpad is just one more arbritrary place down there on Earth's spinning surface, speeds are given relative to the idealized, non-spinning pinpoint center of Earth.
And, finally, there is the lipid layer, an oily outer film that keeps the
surface
smooth for Iris to see through, and prevents the other layers from evaporating.
Because this only affects the surface, the waves are limited in size and speed.
But tsunamis are caused by energy originating underwater, from a volcanic eruption, a submarine landslide, or most commonly, an earthquake on the ocean floor caused when the tectonic plates of the Earth's
surface
slip, releasing a massive amount of energy into the water.
This energy travels up to the surface, displacing water and raising it above the normal sea level, but gravity pulls it back down, which makes the energy ripple outwards horizontally.
As the sun's rays move towards Earth, some get absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, some are reflected back into outer space, but the rest make it to the Earth's
surface.
And those rays that first get reflected by a surface, like a nearby building, before reaching the solar energy system are called reflected irradiance.
In solar panels, photons from the sun's rays hit the
surface
of a panel, and electrons are released to get an electric current going.
But my very favorite project of all was over 15 years ago, when I was a part of the team that made the very first accurate, three-dimensional map of a subterranean
surface.
We also used ultra low frequency radio to broadcast back to the
surface
our exact position within the cave.
So I swam under houses and businesses and bowling alleys and golf courses, and even under a Sonny's BBQ Restaurant, Pretty remarkable, and what that taught me was that everything we do on the
surface
of our earth will be returned to us to drink.
It's now a self-swimming autonomous robot, artificially intelligent, and its ultimate goal is to go to Jupiter's moon Europa and explore oceans beneath the frozen
surface
of that body.
Some of that energy then returns to Earth's surface, causing warming.
Or interface elements can arise out of the
surface
and change on demand.
So for the Milan Design Week, we created TRANSFORM, which is an interactive table-scale version of these shape displays, which can move physical objects on the surface; for example, reminding you to take your keys.
Waves, on the other hand, are disturbances spread out in space, like ripples covering the
surface
of a pond.
It's your skin, with a
surface
area of about 20 square feet in adults.
Though different areas of the skin have different characteristics, much of this
surface
performs similar functions, such as sweating, feeling heat and cold, and growing hair.
And floaters are particularly noticeable when you are looking at a uniform bright surface, like a blank computer screen, snow, or a clear sky, where the consistency of the background makes them easier to distinguish.
The windows are actually caused by white blood cells moving through the capillaries along your retina's
surface.
Crystalline proteins forming at the
surface
created a structure that proved useful in focusing light at a single point on the retina.
In other words, you're somewhere on the
surface
of a sphere centered around the satellite.
But instead of circles on a two-dimensional surface, the wave fronts are now concentric spheres, with the sound traveling along rays perpendicular to these waves.
Where these arteries come to the surface, these earth arteries, we'll get geothermal manifestations: fumaroles, hot springs and in our case, the boiling river.
Below the skin's surface, the roots that give rise to our hair actually remain alive.
At the heart of every hard drive is a stack of high-speed spinning discs with a recording head flying over each
surface.
And thermal expansion control of the head, enabled by placing a heater under the magnetic writer, allowed it to fly less than five nanometers above the disc's surface, about the width of two strands of DNA.
It can lead to confusion, animosity, misunderstanding, or even crashing a multimillion dollar probe into the
surface
of Mars.
