How bad is a “bad” oil spill?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Lisa Goodman The effects will be long-lasting. Oil can kill surface-dwelling animals and birds by poisoning or suffocation, as well as affecting buoyancy and natural waterproofing. Contaminated food supplies mean animals may become malnourished or poisoned over time. How bad is an oil spill? Oil spills can harm sea creatures, ruin a day
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
Could Australia’s bushfires aerosols actually decrease global temperature?
Safety & HazardsCould the Aussie Bushfires Actually Have Cooled the Planet? Seriously? Remember the Black Summer? Those horrific Australian bushfires of 2019-2020? Seemed like half the country was ablaze. Beyond the immediate devastation – the loss of wildlife, homes, and, tragically, lives – scientists have been grappling with a mind-bending question: could all that smoke have actually
