Why does liquefaction cause so much damage?
liquefaction can cause builings to sink since it makes Earth's surface act like a liquid. It can harm people and other stuff too
Caesium sink or float?
It sinks, it's too dense to float.
How can a ship in fall down in sea?
I presume you mean 'sink' or 'capsize'. A ship sinks when it becomes heavier than the water it displaces. Put another way, The length and breadth of a ship, pushes an amount of water away, which weighs exactly the same as the ship. Keep adding weight and the vessel will sink lower, until the topsides of the vessel become submerged and allow more water to fill the inside. The weight is now more than the shape of the vessel can push away and it sinks. Capsizing, is when the weights inside the vessel (or external pressure such as wind) are more to one side than the other. If the sides become submerged and allow water in, the vessel may sink. (as above) Poor stability will also cause capsizing. Simply put, a vessel will stay upright as long as the lower part is heavier than the top part. If this is reversed, by loading weights too high up, the vessel will turn over. That's why you should never stand up in a small boat.
What can too much radiation cause?
a tornado
Will ships float or sink in fresh water?
Ships float in fresh water too. Only a little deeper, since fresh water is less dense than salt water.
What will happen if you replace a 10 amp fuse with a 15 amp fuse?
You risk too much current flow in the circuit. Overloading the wiring can cause a fire.
What can cause fuses to blow?
Overloading the circuit, short in the wiring, or incorrect fuse installed which is too small for the circuit. Always use the correct size fuse.
How can a large ship float even though it has too much mass?
Displacement. The ship may weigh a lot, but it displaces its mass in water. It should not sink if designed right. Say Eureka.
What makes boat a sink?
Different things. For example, the Titanic sank because it hit an iceberg. Other ships sink because the weight on it is too heavy. It also depends on how sturdy the ship or boat is. If it is a handmade small boat, jump on it- and it will sink. if it is medium or big, someting like a rock or an iceberg can sink it.
What is the plimsol line?
a plimsoll line is a line on the side of a boat and if the water went up above the line on the side of the ship it would mean that your ship is too heavy and it will sink rely quick hope this answer will help :P :D
What happened on the carnival cruise ship that sunk 2012?
It's too soon to be certain of the cause, but the owners of the ship have claimed that the captain diverted from the preplanned course for the ship and moved too close to the land. I think it is to be scrapped. You can probably find out on cruisecritic.com to find out for sure.
Was King Henry VIII king when the Mary Rose sank?
The Mary Rose was King Henry VIII's favourite ship, It went out to sea whilst king Henry was still on the throne and when turning too quickly it fell on its side. The Cannon holes were open at the time so water seeped into the ship very quickly which caused it to sink. King Henry was distraught when he lost his favourite ship. The ship can still be seen today at a museum somewhere in the country.Watching it sink from shore.
What is circuit overload?
Overloading happens when too many appliances which work on high power are connected through the same socket. This will draw a very large current from the circuit. Hence the wires get heated up and can cause accidental fires. The fuse may melt but there still lies the risk. Moreover, overloading can also be caused by a hike in the supply voltage.

How do you stop your murrary lawn mower carb from overloading?
If by "overloading" you mean flooding (too much fuel), two reasons are (1) the carburetor needle valve is "wide open" or the float is stuck in the open position.

What is the sink made out of?
It is said that there were many people but the two main people who caused the Titanic to sink. Captain Smith (Captain Edward John Smith) and Thomas Andrews. Captain Smith was the Captain of the Titanic and Thomas Andrews was the engineer who built the ship. Captain Smith was responsible because he wanted to make it to New York one day earlier than they planned so he sped the ship up. but that night it was very foggy and he didn't see the ice burg. when he finaly saw it, it was to late to turn around and the ship grazed the edge of it causing it to fill with water. Thomas Andrews was responsible for the sink because at the bottom of the ship there are massive big compartments. he said that the ship was able to have four of those filled up with water and the ship still not sink so he claimed it unsinkable. but, when the titanic grazed against the ice burg, it opened up a big hole and five compartments filled up with water. the ship started to sink at the front but the pressure was too much. near the end it split in half. the big end went down first then the little bit that had snapped off went down afterwards. altogether it took about an hour for the ship to sink.
