Here are the answers to your homework questions:
1. Magnets work by the alignment of atomic or subatomic particles called domains that are polarized (given a magnetic "charge"). The magnetic fields of these polarized domains interact and attract or repel other magnetic materials.
2. A spark plug is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel-air mixture by an electric spark, thereby initiating combustion.
3. A light year is the distance that light travels in one year. Since light travels at about 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second, one light year equals about 9.46 trillion kilometers or 5.88 trillion
This document provides an overview of searching the internet and evaluating websites. It defines key terms like websites, web pages, URLs, domain names, and search engines. It explains how to use search engines like Google and modify searches using Boolean operators and quotation marks. It also lists criteria for evaluating websites such as accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency, and coverage.
PageRank is an algorithm created by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin that assigns a numerical weight to web pages to measure their relative importance. It is based on the concept that not all links are equal: naturally more important websites receive more incoming links from other websites. PageRank helped address issues with early search engines that could be easily gamed by repeating keywords. It remains one of 200 factors Google uses to determine search rankings, though other strategies like Google Panda are now also important. The simplified PageRank algorithm calculates the probability that a random user clicking links would arrive at a given page based on its incoming links and their PageRanks.
Search engines & effective searching on the webBetsy Irwin
Search engines find information on the internet by using spiders or robots to crawl the web and index pages containing keywords, unlike databases which contain reviewed information from published sources. To perform an effective search, identify keywords and use Boolean operators like AND to narrow results, OR to expand them, and NOT to exclude terms. Phrase searching and title searching can help find specific phrases or pages containing the search terms in the title. Search engines generally interpret capitalization and plurals the same. Advanced operators allow limiting searches to specific sites, linked pages, or getting more site information. However, information online may be inaccurate or biased, so results should be evaluated carefully.
The document provides guidance on how to effectively search the internet and evaluate the credibility of online sources. It discusses different types of search engines like directories, indexes, and meta search engines. It emphasizes that anyone can publish anything online and sources should be critically evaluated based on author, publisher, date, references, and potential biases. Key factors in assessing websites include domain name, intended purpose, and credentials or citations. The document encourages using multiple search engines and libraries in addition to online research.
PageRank is an algorithm created by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin that assigns a numerical weight to web pages based on the page's importance as measured by the quantity and quality of links to that page. It works by assessing a random user's likelihood of landing on any given page if they keep randomly clicking on links. While PageRank is no longer Google's only ranking factor, the number of backlinks from important pages still influences a page's position in search results.
Search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo use algorithms and spider programs to index the web and provide search results. Keywords or search terms are important for effective searches. More specific search terms will provide better results. Boolean operators like AND, OR, and NOT can be used to combine search terms and limit or expand search results.

Search engines & effective searching on the webBetsy Irwin
Search engines find information on the internet by using spiders or robots to crawl the web and index pages containing keywords, unlike databases which contain reviewed information from published sources. Effective searching on search engines involves identifying keywords, using Boolean operators like AND, OR, and NOT to narrow or expand results, and using advanced techniques like phrase searching with quotation marks, title searches, domain searches and synonyms. Information from the internet should be viewed cautiously as anything can be published without review for accuracy.
This document provides guidance on evaluating websites for research purposes. It discusses the structure of URLs and top-level domains to determine credibility. Key criteria for evaluation include checking the author's credentials, date of publication, presence of biases, supporting evidence, and intended audience. Students are advised to apply the CARS method of evaluating Credibility, Accuracy, Reasonableness, and Support. Suggestions are offered for designing effective internet assignments, such as providing guidance, planning ahead, and not assuming student expertise in differentiating types of online information.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
