Can we separate a sandy, clayey & salt layer on basis of their rheological properties?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Sarah Rosales Can you separate sand from clay? Quote from video: And clay is small particles and sand is large particles. You can also dig a huge hole in dirt hole and fill that dirt hole with water. Can clay be separated? The answer is Decantation. Clay is separated from water by the
Is there a freely usable map of Earth cave systems and/or density?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Dave Day What is a cave map? A cave survey is a map of all or part of a cave system, which may be produced to meet differing standards of accuracy depending on the cave conditions and equipment available underground. How do they map out caves? The process of mapping caves takes patience
Interpreting Prospecting Ore Test Result
Earth ScienceAsked by: Dave Day What is a high grade nickel deposit? Therefore, anything over 20 metres in thickness (significantly less thickness than other commodities) and 2% nickel grade or better would be reasonably considered high-grade. What is grade of an ore? The grade of ore refers to the concentration of the desired material it contains.
Why were no interferometers launched on weather satellites between the ’69-’72 IRIS-D and the 2002-onward AIRS?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Laura Blackburn What is the purpose of a weather satellite? Weather Satellites are an important observational tool for all scales of NWS forecasting operations. Satellite data, having a global view, complements land-based systems such as radiosondes, weather radars, and surface observing systems. There are two types of weather satellites: polar orbiting and geostationary.
Will Lithium batteries mean we have to exploit Co-Mn-Ni nodules from the seafloor?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Laura Blackburn Can lithium be mined from the ocean? Researchers have devised numerous filters and membranes to try to selectively extract lithium from seawater. But those efforts rely on evaporating away much of the water to concentrate the lithium, which requires extensive land use and time. To date such efforts have not proved
If the earth were completely smooth and covered in water, what would occur with ocean waves?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Cheryl Sine How deep would the ocean be if the Earth was smooth? If the earth were smooth, all the land areas would be covered by seawater to a depth of some 8,810 feet – or one and two-thirds miles. “Sea level” of earth’s oceans varies in elevation by as much as 600
