Is halite soluble in water?
GeologyIs halite easily soluble in water? Halite is very easily soluble in water as we all know because this mineral has a salty taste. It would have no taste at all, if it were not soluble. How does halite dissolve in water? Halite and some of the other salt minerals are highly soluble, so dissolve

What are the factors that affects transportation of particles?
GeologyFrom this experimental contribution, it arises that the particle concentration, flow velocity, deposition rate coefficient and longitudinal dispersion coefficient are important factors affecting the transport and deposition process of suspended particles in saturated porous media.Apr 13, 2017 What affects the transportation performance? The performance, design and operation of a transportation system is affected by several

What is the main difference between surface waves and body waves quizlet?
GeologyBody waves travel through earths interior while surface waves travel along the earths surface. Body waves travel more rapidly than surface wafes. What is the main difference between body waves and surface waves? The two main types of waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the Earth’s inner layers, but

What do the terms flow and basal slip mean?
GeologyWhat is the difference between plastic flow and basal slip? Plastic flow involves movement within the ice, whereas basal slip involves the entire ice mass slipping along the ground. Plastic flow occurs in the deeper parts of the ice mass, whereas basal slip occurs at the base of the glacier only. What is a basal

What color is glacier blue?
GeologyBlue is the color of pure glacier ice, compact with few air bubbles, since the air is squeezed out from the weight of the ice. Pure ice has the properties of minerals. Like sapphires, glacial ice reflects the blue colors of the light spectrum, so beautiful blue color reaches our eyes. What colour is glacier

Where did metamorphic rock get its name?
GeologyThe word metamorphism is taken from the Greek for “change of form”; metamorphic rocks are derived from igneous or sedimentary rocks that have altered their form (recrystallized) as a result of changes in their physical environment. What is igneous rock and example? Examples of intrusive igneous rocks are: diabase, diorite, gabbro, granite, pegmatite, and peridotite.

How does a fault cause an earthquake?
GeologyEarthquakes are the result of sudden movement along faults within the Earth. The movement releases stored-up ‘elastic strain’ energy in the form of seismic waves, which propagate through the Earth and cause the ground surface to shake. How does a fault make an earthquake? Most faults in the Earth’s crust don’t move for a long

What are the characteristics of a divergent plate boundary?
GeologyWhen two plates are moving away from each other, we call this a divergent plate boundary. Along these boundaries, magma rises from deep within the Earth and erupts to form new crust on the lithosphere. Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges. What are the characteristics of

What is fracture closure pressure?
GeologyFracture closure pressure is the minimum fluid pressure required to initiate the opening of a fracture. What is closure stress? The Fracture Closure Stress (FCS) concept describes the mechanism by which a fracture in a wellbore initiates and propagates. The FCS concept describes that a wellbore has stress holding the wellbore closed. What is fracture
