Proof: sin(a+b) = (cos a)(sin b) + (sin a)(cos b)
In the video, the instructor explores the proof of the trig identity sin(a+b) = (cos a)(sin b) + (sin a)(cos b). In an easy conversational tone, the instructor uses the computer screen as his 'blackboard' and different colors to emphasis his points. For high school students.

2 High- to medium-enthalpy steam fields

When the geothermal gradient heats water above the temperature at which it boils at atmospheric pressure, at a depth accessible to drilling, conditions can favour using natural geothermal steam to generate electricity. Typically, the pressure can be several tens to hundreds of times that of the atmosphere. Even at 200 °C, high pressure can ensure that much of the fluid in a geothermally heated aquifer remains in the liquid state. Author(s): The Open University

The Industrial Revolution
Before the Industrial Revolution everything was produced by hand. Beginning in the 19th century, advances in manufacturing revolutionize the American way of life. A man named Samuel Slater memorized the plans for factories and brought them over to America. This started up the Industrial Revolution in America.

6 Permeability

It is important to distinguish clearly between porosity and permeability. Porosity is a measure of how much water can be stored in a rock, whereas permeability is a measure of the properties of a rock which determine how easily water and other fluids can flow through it (see Section 4). Permeability depends on the extent to which p

3 The water table

The water table is a fundamental reference surface in the study of groundwater. It tends to follow the ground surface, rising under hills and falling at valleys, but the gradient of the water table is usually much less than that of the ground surface (Figure 4). Under hills the water table is usually at greater depths below the surf
