No they are formed when you strain during a bowel movement and weaken your bowel muscles.
What is volcano divergence?
A divergent plate movement occurs when two plates move away from each other. Magma from the mantle underneath the crust to rise up the surface to cool and solidify at the plate boundary. This divergent boundary is considered constructive since new crust is formed. Divergent takes place at the boundary of the oceanic plates and forms new sea floor. This process is called sea-floor spreading. As magma rises up to the surface, it piles up and solidifies, slowly forming a long chain of mountains on the ocean floor, called an oceanic ridge.
What does continental temperature mean?

How are layers formed in a Sedimentary Rock?

Why do dairy cows like to hang out on large piles of manure?
They dont, animals dont like to be dirty, especially with dairy cattle it is important that the udders stay clean and healthy. Now I have seen cattle that preffer the hard floor as apposed to the soft bedding that could be because of heat (they find the floor cooler), but she is not laying in large piles of manure. If diary or any animal are laying in large piles of manure than there is a risk of the operation getting shut down.
What are the classes of pile foundations?
Timber piles, Concrete piles, steel piles, composite piles,Driven cast in situ piles, Bored cast in situ piles, Driven precast piles, Bored precast piles,Prestressed concrete piles, under reamed Piles
Are all islands formed by volcanoes in the ocean?
No. Islands may form in a variety of ways. Some are essentially piles of sediment formed by the action of waves and water currents. Some form as a result of seafloor being uplifted by tectonic forces. Other islands form when elevated areas are cut off from the mainland by erosion.
