Which country has no volcanoes? Even though Australia is home to nearly 150 volcanoes, none of them has erupted for about 4,000 to 5,000 years! The lack of volcanic activity is due to the island’s location in relation to a tectonic plate, the two layers of the Earth’s crust (or lithosphere). In which country volcano […]
Are we made of waves?
Are we made of waves? Radio waves are obviously waves. Only when we come close do we notice that this object is actually a wave. Summary: With quantum theory, we find a beautiful unification: instead of there being two fundamental entities (particles and waves), there is only one fundamental entity: waves. Does Matter diffract? All […]
What are the three parts of the ear and their functions?
What are the three parts of the ear and their functions? The ear is divided into three main parts – the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The inner ear is filled with fluid. The inner ear also contains the receptors for sound which convert fluid motion into electrical signals known as […]
For which object would a geologist use carbon 14 dating to determine age?
For which object would a geologist use carbon 14 dating to determine age? The correct answer is – the first object, the animal skull. The radiocarbon dating, also referred to as carbon -14 dating, is used for the determining of the age of an object containing organic matter based on the properties of the radiocarbon. […]
Why is Group 17 so reactive?
Why is Group 17 so reactive? The halogens are located on the left of the noble gases on the periodic table. Because the halogen elements have seven valence electrons, they only require one additional electron to form a full octet. This characteristic makes them more reactive than other non-metal groups. What are the 3 groups […]
Why the adsorption is always exothermic?
Why the adsorption is always exothermic? The particles are attached to the surface of another medium for the reaction to take place. During this process the residual forces on the surface of adsorbent decreases which in turn decreases the surface energy. This energy appears in the form of heat, hence adsorption is exothermic in nature. […]
Can high voltage low current kill you?
Can high voltage low current kill you? No, it’s the current that kills you. It kills you by putting a current signal through your heart, which interferes with its normal operation. The high voltage is necessary to penetrate the skin. How many volts can Denki produce? This move was first used against members of the […]
How many different types of batteries are there?
How many different types of batteries are there? three types What is the main function of a battery? A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another, through an external circuit. The […]
How long must you boil water to make it safe to drink?
How long must you boil water to make it safe to drink? Boil water, if you do not have bottled water. Boiling is sufficient to kill pathogenic bacteria, viruses and protozoa (WHO, 2015). If water is cloudy, let it settle and filter it through a clean cloth, paperboiling water towel, or coffee filter. Bring water […]
