How to sample for K-Ar dating?
Earth scienceAsked by: Crystal Jones What kind of samples are required for potassium-argon and argon argon dating? The older method required splitting samples into two for separate potassium and argon measurements, while the newer method requires only one rock fragment or mineral grain and uses a single measurement of argon isotopes. How is K-Ar dating done?
Are there pockets of liquid carbon dioxide in Earth’s oceans?
Earth scienceAsked by: Crystal Jones Quick answer is no, however there are methane clathrates somewhere down there and possibly also carbon dioxide clathrates as well. How much CO2 is trapped in the ocean? While previous estimates put the ocean sink at around 2bn tonnes of CO2 per year, we find that it could be 0.8-09bn tonnes
Is there a real time tool to monitor electric flow in the clouds?
Earth scienceAsked by: Aaron Zilla How do I monitor my clouds? Cloud monitoring best practices Observe your cloud service usage and fees. … Identify metrics and events that affect your bottom line. … Use a single platform to report all data. … Trigger rules with data. … Separate your centralized data. … Monitor the user experience.
Lanes of flat ocean surface in coastal waters
Earth scienceAsked by: Aaron Zilla What are the lines on the surface of the ocean? These patches are actually called windrows, and they are usually parallel lines of “stuff” sometime stretching for more than a kilometer. In our waters they are composed largely of sargassum, foam/bubbles, and a mixture of floating polyfoam, plastic, and other jetsam
Does the geographic North Pole move?
Earth scienceAsked by: Ann Shaw The magnetic and geomagnetic poles change quite drastically. But even the geographic north pole moves up to 10 meters a year as the earth wobbles on its axis due to seasonal air pressure differences across the globe, melting ice caps, and so on. Does the North Pole always move? Magnetic north
Where can I get archived hourly temperature data?
Earth scienceAsked by: Ann Shaw The authoritative sources for your data are: ASOS: Automated Surface Observation Systems at airports, and. MADIS: the Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System, from NOAA. How do I find historical temperature data? How to Obtain Historical Climate Data Local Current Conditions. Local Enhanced Radar.

What are the distinguishing features of an “artificial seismic wave” (e.g. a large underground explosion)
Earth scienceAsked by: Shannon Young What are the 4 characteristics of seismic waves? Love Waves—surface waves that move parallel to the Earth’s surface and perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.. P-wave Motion. P-wave:the primary body wave; the first seismic wave detected by seismographs; able to move through both liquid and solid rock. … S-wave Motion.
Can historical emissions data be used for a future WRF-Chem model run?
Earth scienceAsked by: Shannon Young What is WRF-Chem model? WRF-Chem is the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model coupled with Chemistry. The development of WRF-Chem is a collaborative effort among the community. NOAA/ESRL scientists are the leaders and caretakers of the code. The Official WRF-Chem web page is located at the NOAA web site. Is WRF
Why is there no middle ground between tornadoes and hurricanes?
Earth scienceAsked by: Juan Liek What would happen if a tornado and hurricane collide? Quote from video: And it brings with it the potential for catastrophic damage backed by storm surges as high as 8 meters. Can a hurricane and a tornado happen at the same time? Individual storm clouds within hurricanes may spawn tornadoes as
What would the equilibrium temperature be at the poles in a world without seasonality?
Earth scienceAsked by: Juan Liek Why is the temperature at the poles always low? Both polar regions of the earth are cold, primarily because they receive far less solar radiation than the tropics and mid-latitudes do. At either pole the sun never rises more than 23.5 degrees above the horizon and both locations experience six months
