Lead of a pencil made up of what?
Generally it's made of graphite. Graphite is a substance made of carbon. The carbon atoms are bonded together in a particular way that allows "sheets" of graphite to break off easily. When you write something, some of these sheets break off and end up on your paper.
How big is the indo-australian plate?
No, it is not an oceanic plate. It is a continental plate but with oceanic crust. Crust is different from plate. A plate is made up of many crust. The crust under the ocean is oceanic crust, while the crust where continent is found is called continental crust. Most of the plates are made up off both continental and oceanic crust. If a plate has continental crusts, then it is a continental plate. Only if a plate is all made up of oceanic crusts, meaning that there is no land on it, then the plate is called oceanic plate. In the world, the major oceanic plates include Pacific Plate, Nazca Plate, Cocos Plate and Philippines Plate. Other are all continental plate.
What gas is given off by cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide
What is sugar in a DNA molecule made up of?
glycose helps pops off a carbon and generates energy (krebs cycle)
What do fungi give off after they digest the food they absorbed?
Carbon dioxide Carbon and nitrogen ---- Novanet
Can the US gov create an earthquake?
no. earthquakes are set off by sudden movements in the earths crust
What is the crust made off?
rocks
What is the major heat source of earth's crust?
there are many reasons for heat in earths crust. like the friction between rock masses during movements of earths crust. there may also be heat left over from the original heat of earths interior. but the main reason for heat in earths crust is radioactive elements. they give off energy that can be absorbed as heat. some radioactive elements include uranium, thorium, and a form of potassium.
What is a pencil lead made off?
It is made of graphite, or carbon.
How has earths geosphere significantly changed over time?
The crust will start to freeze and causes the earth to rotate really fast
What is given off by the plant when sugar is made?
carbon dioxide + water
What are rockets made off?
steel, with durible titanuim palting to protect it from breaking up in earths atmosphere
Is carbon fiber made from carbon?
Carbon fibre is generally greater than 95% carbon. Carbon fibre is made from a spun material that is very rich in carbon. It is usually a material called Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) or sometimes pitch, an oil derivative. These are heated in an inert atmosphere to drive off the other atoms, which leaves a fibre made almost entirely of carbon.
Is bread better with the crust on or off?
leaving the crust on gives you more nutrition
Was carbon dioxide present in earth's early atmosphere?
Yes, carbon dioxide is present at varying concentrations at all levels of the atmosphere. Most of it is in the troposphere, the lowest level. It comprises about 0.04% of atmospheric gases, but this is a dynamic amount as it is constantly being removed and replaced by the processes of the carbon cycle.
Why does Coal give off a large amount of carbon?
Coal is essentially made out of carbon and when that carbon is burned it combines with Oxygen in the air to produce CO (Carbon monoxide) and CO2 (Carbon dioxide) gases both of which contribute to global warming.
