How does heat flow cause changes to Earth?
Regional SpecificsMoreover, the way that this works is that convection currents in the mantle (inside the Earth) causes tectonic plates to move when material near the Earth’s core rises, and colder mantle rock sinks. In addition, this movement allows for the creation of many geological features. How does heat flow change Earth’s surface? How does all
How much do geodesic domes cost?
Regional SpecificsGeodesic Dome Kits Geodesic kits start at $50,000. This seems like a steal until you realize you’ll need help building it. Most companies will charge $80 per square foot if you do it yourself and up to $200 per square foot for them to build it. How expensive is geodesic dome? The cost varies by
What does lava become?
Regional SpecificsWhen a volcano erupts, the molten rock (or magma) that comes out of the Earth is called lava. Because lava is so hot (more than 1,100 degrees C, over 2,000 degrees F), it remains molten and flows across the ground until it cools and hardens into rock. Does lava become magma? The distinction between magma
Is Oregon expecting an earthquake?
Regional SpecificsIs there going to be a big earthquake in Oregon? Currently, scientists are predicting that there is about a 37 percent chance that a megathrust earthquake of 7.1+ magnitude in this fault zone will occur in the next 50 years. This event will be felt throughout the Pacific Northwest. How likely is earthquake in Oregon?
Is basalt stone porous?
Regional SpecificsIs basalt rock porous? Basaltic lavas tend to be fluid and form thin flows that have a considerable amount of primary pore space at the tops and bottoms of the flows. Numerous basalt flows commonly overlap and the flows commonly are separated by soil zones or alluvial material that form permeable zones. Does basalt absorb
How do you kill pyrite?
Regional SpecificsWhat dissolves pyrite? Also, pyrite should dissolve/decompose in strong nitric acid (at least 20% by volume, I think), but first you need to grind it into powder. After dissolving, pyrite would leave a yellowish deposit of sulfur. How do you neutralize pyrite? Remove the pyrites, again using rubber gloves, and rinse them in running water.
