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

Equilibrium condition for Kelvin’s Vapor Pressure-curvature equation
Earth ScienceAsked by: Crystal White What does the Kelvin equation tell us about? The Kelvin equation1 relates the equilibrium vapour pressure of a liquid to the curvature of the liquid–vapour interface. It predicts that undersaturated vapours will condense in channels of sufficiently small dimensions.16 апр. 1981 What is Kelvin equation in surface chemistry? The Kelvin equation

Can continental plates collide and fuse together without an orogenic band or magmatic arc or at the junction?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Edgar Ayala Can tectonic plates fuse together? Plates occasionally collide and fuse, or they can break apart to form new ones. When the latter plates break apart, a plume of hot rock can rise from deep within the Earth’s interior, which can cause massive volcanic activity on the surface. What happens when continental

Why do tropical cyclones get more attention than extratropical cyclones?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Edgar Ayala Why are tropical cyclones more powerful than temperate cyclones? A tropical cyclone has an effect on a comparatively smaller area than a Temperate cyclone. The velocity of wind in a tropical cyclone is much higher and it is more damaging. Tropical Cyclone forms only on seas with temperature more than 26-27degree

Is the Grand Canyon the “greatest” canyon in the world?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Wendy Irvin Is the Grand Canyon the biggest canyon in the world? Grand Canyon occupies a large portion of northern Arizona and extends about 270 miles from Lees Ferry (just southwest of Lake Powell) to the Grand Wash Cliffs (just east of Lake Mead)–the longest canyon in the world. “Only” a mile a

How long did it take for Earth’s magnetic field to first appear?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Albana Ying How long ago did Earth’s magnetic field form? 3.5 billion years ago Multiple lines of evidence have shown that the Earth’s magnetic field existed at least 3.5 billion years ago. However, the planet’s core is thought to have started solidifying just 1 billion years ago, meaning that the magnetic field must
