What does it mean when a nucleus is stable?
What does it mean when a nucleus is stable? Definition. Nuclear stability means that the nucleus of an element is stable and thus it does not decay spontaneously emitting any kind of radioactivity. Those nuclei with the highest binding energy per nucleon are the most stable with respect to destructive nuclear reactions. What is the […]
What are the difference between the three types of stress compression tension and shear?
What are the difference between the three types of stress compression tension and shear? Compression is the most common stress at convergent plate boundaries. Rocks that are pulled apart are under tension. Tension is the major type of stress at divergent plate boundaries. When forces are parallel but moving in opposite directions, the stress is […]

How do I identify an alluvial fan?
How do I identify an alluvial fan? Check the mouths of tributaries in larger valleys while in the field. Check topographic maps, and look for fan shaped elevation lines at the mouths of tributaries. Check soils maps for soils designated as “local alluvium.” What is the human impact of alluvial fan? Willful and continuous interference […]
