What is the insect known for using surface tension to walk on water?
Pond skimmers
How do skimmers help in recovery of oil?
Oil skimmers, which are pieces of equipment that allow the operator to remove oil and other products from the surface of a liquid, are mostly used as a way to clean lakes and rivers from oil products.
what are skimmers used for oil spill clean up?
None. Skimmers are mechanical devices, which use the surface tension of the oil to pull oil into a boat.
How full should an inground pool be?
If you have a top skimmer basket the water level should be at least an inch above the basket, so you are not sucking any air. They seem to operate more effectivly at removing floating material BEFORE IT SINKS if the level is about half the distance from the top to the bottom of the skimmer opening.
What do they do with the oil from oil spills?
They clean it off of the surface of the water by skimming the surface with Booms,skimmers,sorbents,chemicals,vaccums, and shovels. Hope this helps Then the skimmed oil, if in larger quantities can be recycled economically.
What carries instruments that collect information about Earth's surface surface and atmosphere?
satellites
Can the oil spill be sucked up from ocean surface?
Skimmers have limitations. It is very hard to skim off oil if oil is continuing to flow from the well. However, the skimmers are being employed at the most critical areas of the spill where they can be most effective, in hopes of reducing environmental damage. See related links.
When surface water does not flow to the ocean it will often collect in?
Surface water will collect in hollows, ditches, reservoirs, add to the water table, etc.
Explain why the surface of water in a container is not flat but curved?
Surface tension.
How would BP skim the oil of the surface of the gulf?
I have seen pictures of drum skimmers being used in the Gulf of Mexico. Also, belt skimmers apparently are being used. The idea is the same. To get the oil off the surface of the water, the oil must come into contact with an absorbant material, then the oil must be squeezed out. BP is employing as many as 400 vessels of opportunity to do the skimming. Many are fisherman who can use the money. See related link.
When a geologist monitors a fault what kinds of data do they collect?
they collect changes in elevation tilting of land surface and ground movements
Can an above ground pool be too full?
As a contractor, I can tell you for certain... if your pool isn't level, you won't be able to level it without ripping it out and replacing it, and you're owed money back from your contractor for a shabby job.
