Why do you use salt in cloud seeding?
It is unknown why salt is actually used for cloud seeding. However, many feel that it is because it is economical and would harm the environment the least.
Which substance is most commonly used for cloud seeding?
silver iodine
What are the harmful effects of cloud seeding in the industrialization on the atmosphere and the measure being used to combat?
Cloud seeding uses Silver Iodide to provide nuclei for water to form droplets on. Like most chemicals, Silver Iodide can be harmful if ingested in large quantities, but this requires massive and/or continued exposure. Studies in 1977 and 1981 showed minimal residual traces after cloud seeding. Approximately 50 tons are used each year for this purpose, which is a very small amount in comparison to the total volume of the atmosphere. The effectiveness of cloud seeding is debatable - several organizations have given up on trying to use it in a systematic manner - eg the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) gave up trying to mitigate hurricanes with cloud seeding in 1968 Rumors linking cloud seeding to the chemtrail hoax exist, however barium is not used for cloud seeding.
What are the two main substances used in cloud seeding?
silver iodide and dry ice
WHAT substances is most commonly used for cloud seeding like artificial rains?
potassium chloride
Is hydro seeding used in India?
yes it has been used in Mumbai and Maharashtra
How is salt used in cloud-seeding?
the use of hygroscopic materials, such as SALT. 1.what is hygroscopic materials? -it is the ability of a substances to attract and hold water molecules from the sourrounding environments.
What does seeding mean in WikiAnswers?
Seeding is a term that is used for creating new questions in the website.
A wide-mouthed funnel and a cylindrical container are used in making an instrument called a?
A wide-mouthed funnel and a cylindrical container are used in making an instrument called a rain gauge. In one method of cloud seeding, silver-iodide crystals are used as freezing nuclei.
Which chemical is used for cloud seeding for artificial rain?
Chemicals like sodium iodide were initially used but now potassium chloride is preferred over sodium iodide as it has some side effects but then too even sodium iodide is still used.
What type of government is used in Russia?
federationSince 1993, Russia has been a representative democracy.
How cloud seeding done?
Cloud seeding attempts to change the amount or type of precipitation that falls from clouds, by dispersing substances (e.g. microscopic silver iodide crystals, dry ice) into the air that serve as cloud condensation or ice nuclei. The usual intent is to increase precipitation (e.g rain, snow), but hail and fog suppression are also widely practiced in airports. Cloud seeding substances may be dispersed by aircraft or by devices located on the ground (e.g. generators, anti-aircraft guns, rocket launchers). There are still questions as to its actual effectiveness and some of the substances used present possible health hazards.
