What damage can a nuclear weapon do?
The effects of nuclear weapons break down into: 1- Thermal (heat damage) 2- Blast damage (shock wave) 3- Residual radiation & fall out.
What energy source of heat that is generated below the earths surface?
Most of this energy is released during the decay of radioactive isotopes. To a lesser extent, this is residual heat, from the formation of Earth - gradually released as Earth's interior solidifies.
What is residual gravity?
Residual gravity is the effective gravity that exists between the earth-moon or the earth-sun combination. When two heavenly bodies interact such as the earth and the sun there is a difference in mass which causes a residual gravity to exist in the space between them. This residual gravity is responsible for the earth's orbit.
What is residual shrinkage in woven?
Residual shrinkage is what takes place over a period of time from laundering and care, they are such items as linens and towels.
What is the force called that holds protons and neutrons together?
The residual strong nuclear force.
Two types of heat in are earth?
radioactive decay and residual heat
Why the inner core is hot?
From incredible pressures, residual accretion heat, and nuclear reactions. == ==
What is the source of this residual heat?
Study Island Answer: gravitational energy left over from the formation of the Earth
What is the source of residual heat?
Study Island Answer: gravitational energy left over from the formation of the Earth
Can a white dwarf that has no fuel make its own energy?
No. The energy of a white dwarf is simply residual heat.
What is the main source of heat in the earth's core?
The heat in the inner core is the result of several different sources. Some of these are: residual heat from the creation of the planet; heat caused by nuclear decay; friction; magnetic and tidal effects.
What is Residual stress in welding?
.Residual stressesare stress that remain after the original cause of the stresses (external forces, heat gradient) has been removed. They remain along a cross section of the component, even without the external cause. Residual stresses occur for a variety of reasons, including inelastic deformations and heat treatment. Heat from welding may cause localized expansion, which is taken up during welding by either the molten metal or the placement of parts being welded. When the finished weldment cools, some areas cool and contract more than others, leaving residual stresses
Why is cooling fans running after engine shut off?
to dissipate the residual heat in the radiator it will shut off automatically
What is the main source of heat in earth's inner core?
The heat in the inner core is the result of several different sources. Some of these are: residual heat from the creation of the planet; heat caused by nuclear decay; friction; magnetic and tidal effects.

Where does the Earth's core gets its energy from?
The heat of Earth's core comes from a combination of residual heat of Earth's formation, the decay of radioactive isotopes, and possible fission of uranium at the planet's center.
Why Earth's interior is warmer than its surface?
Earth's surface is free to radiate heat into space. The interior is not. The interior does transfer heat the the surface, but rather slowly. It is hot due to residual heat from Earth's formation and from the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements.
