Zeolites, odor control, and the witchcraft of sunlight
Earth ScienceAsked by: Steve Hlavaty What are zeolites PDF? Zeolites are aluminosilicate solids bearing a negatively charged honeycomb framework of micropores into which molecules may be adsorbed for environmental decontamination, and to catalyse chemical reactions. They are central to green-chemistry since the necessity for organic solvents is minimised. What is MFI zeolite? Abstract. High Resolution Image.
Public sources of topographical data of Earth?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Steve Hlavaty Where can I get topography data? Topographic data are information about the elevation of the surface of the Earth.Digital Raster Graphics USGS Earth Explorer. USGS Seamless Server. USDA Geospatial Gateway (more info) What is the source of the elevation data? Ground survey is the oldest source of elevation data, traditionally undertaken
Cooling time of basalt flows?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Gina Raybuck How long does it take for Basalt to cool? Lava cools very quickly at first and forms a thin crust that insulates the interior of the lava flow. As a result, basaltic lava flows can form crusts that are thick enough to walk on in 10-15 minutes but the flow itself
What is the evidence it is feasible to reverse ocean acidification by adding large quantities of a base (bicarb soda)?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Gina Raybuck How do you reverse ocean acidification? The most effective way to limit ocean acidification is to act on climate change, implementing solutions to dramatically reduce the use of fossil fuels. If we dramatically cut our global warming emissions, and we limit future warming, we can significantly reduce the harm to marine
Does dirt compact itself over time? If so, how does this happen?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Debbie Oksuz Will soil compaction over time? Regarding having something buried and soil compacting around it over time, yes that will occur but it is a question of how much stress the soil experiences, the duration of time and the nature of the soil – sandy or clayey. Something buried for a day
What is the ratio of energy absorbed by atmospheric CO2 from IR coming from the Earth vs directly from the Sun
Earth ScienceAsked by: Debbie Oksuz What percentage of CO2 is absorbed by the atmosphere? When carbon dioxide CO2 is released into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels, approximately 50% remains in the atmosphere, while 25% is absorbed by land plants and trees, and the other 25% is absorbed into certain areas of the ocean.
