Because many changes in body composition ( such as fat and muscle loss or gain ) do not affect the weight of cremated remains, the weight of the remains can be more closely predicted from the person's height and sex ( which predicts skeletal weight ), than it can be predicted from the person's simple weight.

Because in an ideal gas of constant composition the speed of sound depends only on temperature and not on the gas pressure or density, the speed of sound in the atmosphere with altitude takes on the form of the complicated temperature profile ( see illustration immediately above ), and does not mirror altitudinal changes in density or pressure.
