Where The point inside the earth where energy release occurs?
The focus
What happen when a supernova collapses suddenly?
A supernova occurs AFTER a star collapses suddenly. See related question
Is a flood geological or meteorological?
Geological due to the fact that these killer sea waves are generated by undersea earthquakes. Shifts in the earth's crustal plates along faults, deep sea trenches, and ridges release energy which in turn causes a sudden displacement of oceanic waters in the immediate area. The devastation of the growing tsunami occurs when this energy in the form of water ripples (like when a pebble is dropped into a pond) reach the shore line and grow vertically to 100's of feet tall. Nothing meteorological (weather related) about tsunamis at all.
What type of reaction occurs if two substances are chemically combined and there is a release of energy?
Exothermic
What occurs in Fission?
In nuclear fission, the reactant atoms are split into resultant atoms, and a release of energy.
Which geological process occurs in the shortest amount of time?
Earthquake is one of the geological process that occurs the shortest amount of time.
What causes a mousetrap vehicle to accelerate?
Acceleration of a mousetrap vehicle occurs because potential energy in the tensed spring is converted to kinetic energy (energy of motion) as the spring relaxes. There are two basic forms of mousetrap vehicle, those which release the spring suddenly, and those which release it gradually. Those that release the spring suddenly generally have the quickly moving spring impact an object, commonly the track, which accelerates the vehicle forwards. Those that release the spring gradually often use the spring energy to cause drive wheels to turn, which also accelerates the vehicle.
Point inside the earth where the energy release occurs?
The focus
Where The point inside the earth where energy release occurs?

What is endoergic and exoergic?
Exoergic is energy-releasing. Endoergic occurs with an absorption of energy. Isoergic does not release or absorb energy.
What stage of respiration that release most of the energy in the glucose occurs in the?
It is Nucleus
In a cell breakdown of molecules in order to release energy occurs in the?
Mitochondria.
What is geological disaster?
A geological disaster occurs when natural geological processes impact on our activities, either through loss of life or injury, or through economic loss. A geological hazard is a potential disaster.
What happen when a supernova collapses suddenly?
A supernova occurs AFTER a star collapses suddenly. See related question
What is a geological event which occurs from the plates rubbing together?
Earthquakes
When a nuclear fission reaction occurs an enormous amount of energy is released This energy comes from?
The release of excess binding energy.
What are geological disasters?
geological disasteris forms when the structure of the earth changes . it occurs due to natural geological processes impact on our activities ,either through economic loss.
