18) The amount of radiation that an individual absorbs depends on?

On the amount of radiation emitted; on how close the individual is to the source of the radiation; on any objects in between which might absorb part of the radiation.


Do cactuses absorb radiation?

Yes cactus do absorb radiation. But they do it for a limited range.


What are three reasons radiation sickness symptoms vary?

Individual sensitivity Radiation dose absorbed type of radiationRadiation sickness varies based on the amount of expsure of radiation and how particular person's body reacts to the radiation poisoning. It also depends on how the radiation poisoning entered the body: Oral, inhalation or total body exposure.


How does the ozone layer help maintain ground-level air quality?

The ozone layer absorbs a large portion of incoming UV radiation, which keeps ground-level ozone from forming. A higher percentage of UV radiation entering the troposphere would allow a greater amount of ozone to form in the troposphere. Ozone is a pollutant in the troposphere. By regulating the amount of UV radiation that enters the troposphere, the ozone layer also regulates the amount of ozone formation in the troposphere.


When all the microbes have been killed by radiation or heat?

Your question is not very clear. Microbes can be killed by radiation and heat. It depends on the amount of each and the duration. Viruses are not considered to be microbes but are infectious particles. They can also be inactivated by heat and radiation, especially UV light, but not by cold.

Would the thermometer wrapped with a black cloth have a higher reading than one not wrapped?

Color is determined by the amount of radiation an object absorbs/reflects. Black absorbs all colors of light, meaning it absorbs the most radiation, increasing heat.

What is the maximum amount of radiation a human body can tolerate?

100 milliSieverts is the smallest radiation dose clearly linked to cancer. 1 Sievert is the smallest radiation dose required to induce radiation sickness. The average person absorbs 250 millirems over a lifetime.


How tall is a monster hamster?

This depends on the class of monster and the amount of radiation it was exposed to


Carbon dioxide traps shortwave radiation and re-radiates it?

Carbon dioxide mainly has an effect on longwave radiation. It absorbs longwave radiation and re-radiates it, some of it back downwards. This means carbon dioxide increases the amount of radiation going back down to the surface, and the surface has to warm up to compensate.
