What are 5 ways rocks can be broken down? Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits […]
Where can carbon nanotubes be used?
Where can carbon nanotubes be used? Carbon nanotube uses and applications. CNTs are well-suited for virtually any application requiring high strength, durability, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and lightweight properties compared to conventional materials. Currently, CNTs are mainly used as additives to synthetics. How are nanotubes used in medicine? 4. Applications of Carbon Nanotubes in Pharmacy […]
How old is the oldest rock in the world?
How old is the oldest rock in the world? 4.28 billion years Why do you think seafloor spreading is important? Significance. Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics. When oceanic plates diverge, tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere. At a spreading center, basaltic magma rises up the […]
What is resonance frequency of LC circuit?
What is resonance frequency of LC circuit? Resonance occurs when an LC circuit is driven from an external source at an angular frequency ω0 at which the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal in magnitude. The frequency at which this equality holds for the particular circuit is called the resonant frequency. How does an LC […]
What is the impact of figurative language in a poem?
What is the impact of figurative language in a poem? Figurative language is used in both literature and poetry to create layers of meaning which the reader accesses through the senses, symbolism, and sound devices. Figurative language brings the reader deeper into the theme of the work, without the author having to explicitly lay out […]
What is the SI unit of respectability?
What is the SI unit of respectability? Magnetic susceptibility indicates the degree of magnetization of a material in response to an applied magnetic field. It is given as: χ=HM. Since both numerator and denominator have units A/m, susceptibility itself is a dimensionless quantity. Why magnetic susceptibility has no unit? Magnetic susceptibility( χ ) is the […]
How do you describe an irregular galaxy?
How do you describe an irregular galaxy? An irregular galaxy is the catchall name given to any galaxy that does not neatly fit into one of the categories of the Hubble classification scheme. They have no defined shape nor structure and may have formed from collisions, close encounters with other galaxies or violent internal activity. […]
Why is the corona hotter?
Why is the corona hotter? Nanojets are thought to be initiated by a process called ‘magnetic reconnection’, where twisted magnetic fields explosively realign. One such reconnection can set off another, resulting in an avalanche of nanojets in the Sun’s corona, which is then thought to generate enough energy to heat the corona. What triggers lightning? […]
Why does aluminum foil block WiFi signals?
Why does aluminum foil block WiFi signals? If you’ve ever thought of resorting to aluminum foil to redirect your home’s poor WiFi signal, it turns out you’re not actually that far off the mark. The foil, an electrical conductor, creates a barrier called a Faraday Cage around the phone, blocking the radio signals on which […]
What season is the longest?
What season is the longest? Summer What season is the shortest day? As difficult as it is to believe, astronomical winter is, indeed, the shortest of the four seasons. Or, more correctly, Northern Hemisphere winter, also known as Southern Hemisphere summer, is the shortest season. What can I touch in spring? There are many objects […]
