What would boiling do to most living organisms?
It will most likely heat up to the extreme that eventually it will die.
Can Organisms thrive in temperatures as high as 235 degrees Fahrenheit?
Yes, there have been many organisms classified as extremophiles, in which can live in environments with temperatures exceeding that of boiling water.
What is Old Faith?
Old Faithful is a geyser, a spring that from time to time shoots a column of boiling water in the air. It is the most famous of the 500 geysers in Yellowstone Park, which is in the US. It "performs" 20 to 23 times a day, and each eruption lasts about five minutes. Old Faithful shoots up to 8,400 gallons of water as high as 170 feet. The Yellowstone geysers sit on top of a volcano, which heats underground water to a boiling point.Old Faithful at Yellowstone National Park, is a cone geyser. Located in Wyoming, this geyser was 1st named in 1870.
Describe how seafloor spreading occurs along the Juan de Fuca ridge?
scientist discovered that when axial erupted, boiling hot water shot up out of the volcano followed by a great amount of super hot lava much of this filled part of the gap between pacific plate and the juan de fuca plate creating a new seafloor
Old faithful is called old faithful because?
probably because it's been faithful to the owner so much that it has earned the kind of trust 2. Because it can always be trusted to be there on time, to fulfill its purpose of bringing joy to others. It accepts its responsibility and perform it well, never failing. 3. "Old Faithful" is a geyser in Montana's Yellowstone National Park. It was named that because of its regular eruptions of boiling steam 145-185 ft. into the air.
Where could the organisms have come from in the 1768 broth experiment described?
the organisms could come from the heat in the broth if you boil it,cause if you boil it,it creates organisms. It will only work if you put a cap on top of the bottle you are boiling. the one with the cap on is not cantaminated. The one without the cap is cantaminated and already has organisms in it.so the organisms come from the oxygen in the one where it does not have the cap on
Why is boiling healthy?
Boiling is a very simple method of water disinfection. Heating water to a high temperature, 100°C, kills most of the pathogenic organisms, particularly viruses and bacteria causing waterborne diseases.
What kind of organisms live in hot springs and in boiling deep ocean vents?
The types of archaebacteria which live in hot springs and boiling deep ocean vents are thermophiles.
What formed Old Faithful?
Old Faithful and other geysers are formed when fractures in deep rocks allow ground water to percolate into rock that is still being heated by magma, or has not yet cooled. The water boils until the steam pressure is high enough to force a column of boiling water back up to the surface.
What are some organisms that are resistant to boiling?
thermophilic bacteria are resistant to bolling.Some bacteria that produce certain typae of sporse like bacillus botulini can survive to the boling point.
How is boiling different from boiling point?
Boiling is the phase where the boiling occurs. The point at which the boiling occurs is the boiling point.
What type of Geyser is Old faithful?
A regular one Most geysers are powered by hot water. underground water is heated until it reaches the boiling point and then escapes with a rush. There are many features that are pools of boiling water also. the thing that distinguished geysers from pools is a mechanism that holds the water in a underground chamber until it builds up pressure.
