Why not dispose of nuclear waste in a volcano?
Mecause melting does not destroy the radioactivity. Whatever burns would cause radioactive ash/smoke that would be carried away on the wind. the rest would just turn a patch of the lava radioactive.
Where did the store energy of earthquake come from?
I believe it's related to the heat from Earth's interior, which in turn is mainly due to radioactive decay.
How would you help maximize the the use of energy in our society?
by conserving it, we must not waste the energy , turn off the lights when not in use, and many more ways.
Does it save or waste energy to turn a light off if you are going to turn and turn the light back on before one hour?
You pay for electricity on time of use. As long as the light is on you are paying for it. Shut it off and you are not paying because you are not consuming any energy.
What is the ultimate source of energy that drives the process in the rock cycle when hot material rising in the Earth generates uplift which in turn promotes erosion?
Radioactive heat
Is it Possible to power a clock with Human Energy?
we could turn a crank. which is kinda human energy. but with the energy from foods that we get when we eat, i dont think so
Is it possible to turn energy into matter?
Yes, it is possible to transform energy into matter. Doing so would require an enormous amount of energy, but it is theoretically possible.
Why non-radioactive substances became radioactive when placed near a radium compound?
The particles emitted by a radioactive substance can change other atoms, and in some cases, they will turn into radioactive isotopes.
A compost bin will turn organic waste into?
A compost bin will turn organic waste into natural fertilizer.
What part of the cell help make food?
The chloroplasts. they get energy from the sun, and combine it with Carbon dioxide, and water and turn them into glucose and oxygen as waste products6CO2 +6 H2O -(energy- sun)> C6H12O6 + 6O2(carbon dioxide) + (water) -(sunlight)> (glucose) + (oxygen)waste products
How does burning fuel of any kind turn solar energy into thermal energy?
All fuels (with the exception of nuclear fuels) were originally dependant on sunshine for their creation. Coal, gasoline, wood, peat, diesel. Nuclear fuels depend on the emission of neutrons from a radioactive substance, and the radioactive materials used all have primal (original) energy available in them. The temperature of the inner core of the Earth is about 5700oC, about the same as the surface of the Sun. This eventually gives us geothermal heat and geothermal energy. The inner core of the Earth is heated by radioactive decay of the heavy elements.
Can heat turn into energy?
Heat is energy. If you have a certain amount of heat energy, it isn't possible to convert all of it into other forms of energy; some of the heat energy is lost forever, in the sense that it can't be converted.
