What are Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences? A sequence is a group of numbers, called terms, arranged in a specific order. Arithmetic Sequences. Arithmetic sequences have a common difference. In other words the same value is added or subtracted from term to term. Example: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 (common difference is +2)
The Kelvin temperature scale is useful because scientists around the world use it as a temperature scale so that they don't have to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit or vise versa â¦ .
Across inaccessible areas that have few measurements, scientists use surrounding temperatures and other information to fill in the missing values. Each value is then used to calculate a global temperature average. This process provides a consistent, reliable method for monitoring Earth's surface temperature over time.
