Asked in Chemistry
When a cup is put in the freezer and then taken out how does moisture form?
It is called condensation. It is when the Coldness around the
cup slows down the moisture in the air ( because moisture is fast
in molecular speed) and turns it back into a liquid. The moisture
in the air is warm and cooled and slowed down
Asked in Fruits and Vegetables
You over fertilized your corn crop what should you do?
Forget about doing anything. Just let nature take its course,
breaking down any and all food supplements. Perhaps adding extra
moisture would help leach food deep down into the soil.

Asked in Home & Garden
Does cutting down trees reduce the amount of moisture in the air?
Cutting down trees reduces the amount of moisture in the air, as
well as the amount of rainfall. This is because air passing over
forests picks up moisture given off by trees and plants, fueling
rains.
Asked in Home & Garden, Farm Crops
What is the best way to preserve Indian corn?
Dry it down to a moisture content of no more than 15% water,
then place in an airtight container which is then stored in a cool,
dry location. Seeds stored in this way can still be fairly viable
after many years.
Asked in Botany or Plant Biology
Moisture from the grapes is removed by?
Moisture from grapes is naturally removed by dry or arid
conditions. This is why grapes in supermarkets are consistently
watered to preserve their moisture and freshness. When making wine,
however, some moisture may escape grapes when they are squished and
broken down.
Asked in Elements and Compounds
Why is calcium chloride sprinkled on dusty roads?
Calcium chloride attracts moisture out of the air. The resulting
moisture helps keep dust down.
Asked in Corn, Food Cravings
Why do you crave corn?
In brief, corn has two noticeable elements you may really want:
1. Plant fiber (it moves through your digestive system and helps to
move other stuff along) that you do not digest, but is not harmful;
and 2. enzymes (and oils you use to cook corn in) that your
pancreas likes. In short, your body breaks down the starch
molecules in corn to create a type of sugar your body wants.
If you are concerned about keeping calories down with this
craving, try popcorn with as little oil as possible, no butter
(lightly salted, use iodized salt to help your thyroid along.)
Asked in Corn
How is corn grown?
Corn, or by its more international name, maize, is usually grown
by tilling up the soil, working it down smooth to make a good
seedbed, and planting the seed (by hand or machine) about 1 to 2
inches (2.5 to 5 cm) down in the soil. If the soil is damp and warm
enough (50 deg. F or higher), the corn will emerge in 1 to 2 weeks.
Then weeds, insects, and diseases need to be controlled for the
next two to four months. If the corn is for human consumption
(sweet corn), it will be ready to harvest about 18 to 21 days after
the pollen has fallen on exposed silks. If the corn is to be grown
to full maturity (senescence), it will be ready when the the
kernels have dried on the cob to the point where they are quite
hard and can be separated completely from the cob. Dried corn
kernels can be stored the longest if they are dried to about 15%
moisture content.
