What kind of particles are emitted by radon?
Radon emits alpha particles.
Is there radon in microwave ovens?
No, radon is a naturally occurring radioactive element present in materials containing uranium and thorium (both of which are also radioactive). The most likely source of radon in a building is granite, either in the bedrock underground, in granite countertops and tabletops, granite fireplaces, etc. A microwave cooker is made of metal and plastics and contains no radioactive materials.
What kind of bedrock is not normally found on rocky shores?
sand stone
What kind of weathering involves only a reduction in bedrock regolith mineral particles?
mechanical
Is radon a metal or a nonmetal?
Radon is an inert or noble gas, and that's as far from being a metal as an element can get. You'll find radon at the bottom of the Group 18 elements (naturally) on the periodic table. Use the link below for more information.
What kind of particles are emitted by radon?
Radon emits alpha particles.
Sinkholes associated with natural processes are characteristic of what type of bedrock?
Limestone
Sinkholes associated with nature process are characteristic of what type of bedrock?
Limestone
What kind of bedrock would you find in in Karst Topography?
karst topography will contain mostly easily erodable bedrock, such as limestone and dolomite.

What town does the flinstones live in?
The name of the town in Flintstones is Bedrock.
What non-metal is radioactive and seldom found in nature except when associated with uranium metals?
Radon (gas)
What has the author David C Noe written?

What kind of scientist studies radon?
Chemists, physicists, physicians, ecologists
Why is the level of radon gas in houses different in different parts of the country?
Answer 1This is very clear in houses made from bricks or stones and not from wood. These bricks or stones contain some percentage of uranium that decays to produce radon gas that escapes to the surrounding air thus increasing the radon gas level especially when the house is not ventilated. Answer 2There's an effect due to the type of construction (houses that are mostly brick or stone may have more radon that houses that are mostly wood), but this isn't really a "different parts of the country" effect except to the extent that some kinds of houses are more common in some parts of the country. One very definite effect having to do with location is the underlying bedrock. Two houses of identical construction may have very different radon levels if the underlying bedrock in the area is granite vs. limestone.
