How to measure Air CO2 Cheaply for a School Science Experiment
Earth scienceAsked by: Casey Neri How do you measure CO2 in an experiment? Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is measured with a gas sensor specifically made to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air. There are three main types of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) sensors: Electrochemical sensors, Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Sensors, and Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS)

How do I convert between different east longitude coordinates?
Earth scienceAsked by: Kimberly Martin How do you convert coordinates? Community Mapping Experiment: How to Convert Latitude and Longitude to Map Coordinates Step 1: Multiply (×) the “degrees” by 60. Step 2: Add (+) the “minutes” Step 3: If the Latitude (Longitude) degrees are S (W) use a minus sign (“-“) in front. … Step 4:

What kind of climate could you expect in a mountainous area in a subtropical region?
Earth scienceAsked by: Kimberly Martin Which is hotter tropical or subtropical? The subtropics refers to the zones immediately north and south of the tropic zone. The term can be used loosely to mean a range of latitudes between 23.5 and approximately 40 degrees. These areas typically have hot summers– even hotter than tropical climates. Is India

What evidence is there for geological mechanisms that formed the Siberian traps flood basalt?
Earth scienceAsked by: Christopher Washington How were Siberian Traps formed? The Siberian Traps are the remnants of widepread volcanic activity that occurred in northern Pangea, about 250 m.y. ago. The most common rock type is basalt, which usually erupts effusively rather than explosively, but the eruptions can be prolonged, lasting for years or even decades, and

How and why humidity and vapour pressure change as a parcel of air with an unchanging amount of water vapor rises, expands, and cools
Earth scienceAsked by: Christopher Washington How does the relative humidity change for an air parcel of constant water content as it is lifted into the atmosphere? As a rising parcel cools, its relative humidity increases. Once the relative humidity reaches 100% (determined when the parcel temperature cools down to its original dew point temperature), further lifting

Why does Hong Kong have one of the best natural harbours in the world that can protect ships from the typhoon winds?
Earth scienceAsked by: Mike Gibbs Why is the Hong Kong harbour important? A key factor in the economic development of Hong Kong, the natural shelter and deep waters of Victoria Harbour provide ideal conditions for berthing and the handling of all types of vessels. It is one of the busiest ports in the world, in the

What are the composition and pressure of the exosphere?
Earth scienceAsked by: Mike Gibbs The exosphere’s composition varies from oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and helium at its base, to just hydrogen and helium in the outer limits. The exosphere’s pressure is about 0.0007 atmospheres at its base to virtually nothing in the outer reaches. What is the composition of the exosphere? The exosphere layer is

How bad is a “bad” oil spill?
Earth scienceAsked by: Lisa Goodman The effects will be long-lasting. Oil can kill surface-dwelling animals and birds by poisoning or suffocation, as well as affecting buoyancy and natural waterproofing. Contaminated food supplies mean animals may become malnourished or poisoned over time. How bad is an oil spill? Oil spills can harm sea creatures, ruin a day

What happens to sea level when a ship sinks?
Earth scienceAsked by: Crystal White The sea level should decrease. Consider a boat before it sinks. It must displace a weight of water equal to the weight of the boat to have neutral buoyancy. The material comprising a boat is more dense than water, thus is less voluminous than the displaced ocean. Do ships affect sea
