This is similar to oceanic-continental convergence in that one of the plates is subducted under the other during the collision. At the subduction zone a very deep trench is formed in the ocean floor. Oceanic and oceanic plate convergence result in the formation of volcano chains. The crust that is pulled under or subducted melts to form magma. This magma rises to the top of the overriding oceanic plates and erupts on the ocean floor.

The directive gain or directivity of an antenna in a given direction is the ratio of its radiation intensity in that direction to its mean radiation intensity.", "For antennas, a common reference unit is the dBi, which states the gain of an antenna as referenced to an ISOTROPIC source.

An antenna with –3 dBi “gain” actually has a loss of 3 dB—it will lose half of the power applied to it. An antenna that is –10 dBi is radiating 1/10 the signal of one with 0 dBi gain; one that is –20 dBi is radiating 1/100 the signal and so on.

A reference dipole antenna is defined to have 2.15 dBi of gain. So converting between dBi and dBd is as simple as adding or subtracting 2.15 according to these formulas: Antenna gain is then a measure of the amount of focus that an antenna can apply to the incoming signal relative to one of two reference dispersion patterns. Digi specifies all antenna gains in dBi. dBi is the amount of focus applied by an antenna with respect to an Isotropic Radiator (a dispersion pattern that radiates the energy equally in all directions onto an imaginary sphere surrounding a point source).", "Yes, you will get more signal strength from a 7 dBI antenna than a 2.2dBI (specifically 4.8 dB). It solves that by radiating energy more directionally than an idea antenna that radiates evenly in all directions (0 dBI). This increased signal strength of 4.8 dB is 10^(4.8/10) = 3 times more power. So a 2.2 dBi antenna does 2.2 dB better than the isotropic antenna. Saying any 2.2 dBi antenna will yield the same distance ignores the antenna's directivity. An antenna with higher directivity will achieve the 100 m with less power than a less directive antenna.", "An alternative definition compares the antenna to the power received by a lossless half-wave dipole antenna, in which case the units are written as dBd. Since a lossless dipole antenna has a gain of 2.15 dBi, the relation between these units is: gain in dBd = gain in dBi - 2.15 dB. For a given frequency, the antenna's effective area is proportional to the power gain.

In order to eat, the spores that give rise to fungi must be dispersed to a location where there is food and after the spore germinates, the mycelium of the fungus must grow into its food. Another words, usually fungi must live in their food if they are to eat. This means that they can only eat certain materials. For example, a fungus that is usually found in your stored food, probably will not be able to eat wood because it does not have the enzymes that is needed to break down or rot the wood. Some fungi have a very broad range of enzymes.", "Fungi feed on nutrients from dead and decaying plants and animals, since they do not have chlorophyll and cannot manufacture their own food. Other types of fungi live as paras … ites on other organisms, which can be found both on land and water. They absorb all of their nutrients (mineral and organic) from soil or organic sources.

The discovery of radio waves actually provided the platform for the invention of the radio. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that can carry information in the form of pictures, sound and other details.", "Around the turn of the 20th century Guglielmo Marconi, developed the first apparatus for long distance radio communication. Reginald A. Fessenden became the first to send audio (wireless telephony) by means of electromagnetic waves in 1907. By 1910 these systems had come to be referred to by the common name radio. Marconi's demonstrations of the use of radio for wireless communications, equipping ships with life saving wireless communications, establishing the first transatlantic radio service, and building the first stations for the British shortwave service, have marked his place in history.", "The story of the radio invention is very interesting.

After more work on this, he managed to detect very distant signals. When was the radio invented and by whom? We use this word on daily basis; everyone knows what the radio is and what it is used for.
