Why don’t tropical cyclones hit Hawaii?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Plain Phab Why do hurricanes not hit Hawaii? The pool of warmer water remains intact across the Pacific between 500 and 750 miles south of the Hawaiian Islands, and a hurricane which forms and moves due westward about 600 miles south of Hawaii can maintain its strength into the central Pacific. Does Hawaii
Can we predict the earthquake before it occurs a while? What is the maximum period?What are the signs of an earthquake soon?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Plain Phab Can we predict earthquakes before they happen? No. Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future. What is the maximum time of earthquake? A devastating earthquake that
Why is reverse osmosis desalination the dominant method used and not heat-based methods? Also why is brine being dumped back into the ocean?
Natural EnvironmentsAsked by: Michael Tpc Why must reverse osmosis be used to desalinate ocean water? Reverse osmosis is not only the most advanced desalination system in the world today, it is the most efficient and beneficial for the planet: it generates up to four-and-a half-times fewer greenhouse gas emissions than all other technologies, it doesn’t harm
How did the Ural mountains form?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Michael Tpc The Urals are among the world’s oldest mountain ranges, dated at 250 to 300 million years ago. They were formed during the Uralian orogeny due to the collision of the eastern edge of the supercontinent Euramerica with Kazakhstania. What type of plate boundary formed the Ural Mountains? The Urals are the
How did helium deposits form?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Richard Byrd On Earth, helium is generated deep underground through the natural radioactive decay of elements such as uranium and thorium. “It takes many, many millennia to make the helium that’s here on the Earth,” says Sophia Hayes, a chemist at Washington University in St. Louis. How did helium get in the ore?
Slope of Saturation vapor pressure versus temperature-A parameter in Penman’s equation
Earth ScienceAsked by: Richard Byrd What is the relationship between temperature and saturation vapor pressure? As the temperature rises, the saturated vapour pressure increases rapidly, and so does the density of the vapour, approaching that of the liquid. At a certain temperature the density of the vapour becomes equal to that of the liquid, and the
