Why does aragonite form in one case and an acetate in another?
Earth scienceAsked by: Danielle Botello Aragonite accepts a low concentration of it. Then surplus Mg could be considered chemical waste while acetic acid is a chemical reactant. In the case you get calcium acetate, acetic acid accepts Ca and it is transformed, but in this case is just a chemical reactant and his structure is not

Is there any correlation between La Niña/El Niño and seismic activity?
Earth scienceAsked by: Danielle Botello Does El Niño cause earthquakes? In the first article, Daniel A. Walker of the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics at the University of Hawaii suggested that earthquakes along the East Pacific Rise were related to the vast changes of El Nino, which climate experts refer to as the Southern Oscillation.29 нояб. 1988

Predicting the weather in two months
Earth scienceAsked by: Ian Rice How accurate are weather forecasts 2 months out? The Short Answer: A seven-day forecast can accurately predict the weather about 80 percent of the time and a five-day forecast can accurately predict the weather approximately 90 percent of the time. However, a 10-day—or longer—forecast is only right about half the time.

Where are the poles of rotation of the tectonic plates located?
Earth scienceAsked by: Ian Rice Where are tectonic plates located? Tectonic plates are gigantic pieces of the Earth’s crust and uppermost mantle. They are made up of oceanic crust and continental crust. Earthquakes occur around mid-ocean ridges and the large faults which mark the edges of the plates. What term is given to the pole around

How do mesoscale eddies in the ocean transport heat between different layers of the ocean?
Earth scienceAsked by: Patrick Paulson How are ocean eddies involved in the transfer of heat in the ocean? In addition to their role in moving heat poleward, mesoscale eddies effect a vertical transfer of heat in the ocean, largely moving heat upwards to partially compensate for the downward heat transport by time mean fields. What do

Generalized Soil Unit Information on Soil Characteristics of FAO/UNESCO Soil Map
Earth scienceAsked by: Nikki Lopez What is soil according to FAO? Soil is the end product of the combined influence of climate, topography, organisms (flora, fauna and human) on parent materials (original rocks and minerals) over time. As a result soil differs from its parent material in texture, structure, consistency, color, chemical, biological and physical characteristics.

Is oxygen the most abundant element on Earth?
Earth scienceAsked by: Tiffany Taylor Oxygen is by far the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, making up 46% of mass—coming up just short of half of the total. Oxygen is a highly reactive element that combines with other elements, forming oxides. Why oxygen is most abundant element on Earth? Oxygen is the third most

Are oceans a major factor in creating high winds on a planet?
Earth scienceAsked by: Tiffany Taylor How does wind affect ocean currents? The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents. As these currents flow westward, the Coriolis effect—a force that results from the rotation of the Earth—deflects them. The currents then bend to the right, heading north. How does ocean affect climate? Ocean currents act much

How to best calculate ensemble spread with 2D data?
Earth scienceAsked by: Casey Neri What is ensemble spread? The ensemble spread is a measure of the difference between the members and is represented by the standard deviation (Std) with respect to the ensemble mean (EM). On average, small spread theoretically indicates high forecast accuracy, large spread theoretically indicates low forecast accuracy.May 10, 2018 What is
