it comes from air
Why can't you put a BOV on a non-turbo car?
Because the bov requires pressure in the intake system to work, this pressure comes from the turbo, no turbo on your car no pressure in your intake system to work one.
What is granites origin?
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock and comes from magma. It is a very hard, granular, crystalline rock that is mainly composed of quartz, mica, and feldspar.
Can arthritis cause a pinched nerve?
The inflammation that often comes with arthritiscan put pressure on nerves.
What causes the coolant color to turn milky?
There is only one thing that comes to mind on your problem of a milky coolant and it isn't good news. I am leaning towards you having a cracked block, a cracked head or a blown head gasket. What it sounds like is that engine oil is mixing with your coolant. There are only a few places where this can take place, which I have mentioned. I would run a pressure check on your colling system and watch for the pressure to slowly go down. Also look for milky oil contamination. I wish you the best of luck.
What comes under the purview of stress analysis?

Why do they call granite granite?
Granite is actually made of mineral grains that are stuck together and solidified. It appears that the name "granite" comes from the based word "grain".
Was petroleum a living thing?
Oil comes from trees, vegetation and other organic matter (animals) that died millions of years ago and was subjected to intense pressure over time.

Why is the center of a collapsing nebula forms a star?
If enough matter comes together close enough, the collapse itself will generate enough heat (and pressure) for nuclear fusion. In other words, a star is created.
Describe how the granite of a mountain could change first into sandstone and then into quartize?
First of all, the granite erodes. This means the original rock breaks down due to weathering. Wind, water, ice, they can all do that. As the rock breaks down into smaller and smaller parts, it eventually turns into sand. The sand is then deposited somewhere (let's say a beach), and then buried under more sand. As more and more layers of sand get on top of the original sand, there is more pressure, and eventually, the pressure becomes big enough to turn the sand into sandstone. But the process of sedimentation doesn't stop, and after enough time, there is enough pressure to deform the sandstone. This is where metamorphism enters the stage. As more and more pressure is added, the volume of the sandstone decreases. Now, there are different ways in which the volume of something can be decreased. That is removing the empty space, and putting the atoms in a crystalline texture. As the sand originally comes from granite - which is a very silica rich rock - there will be a lot of silica in the sandstone. The crystal that forms then, will be largely silica. Pure quartz is 100% silica. So if the sandstone that we have starts to form crystals to decrease it's volume under pressure, we get the quartzite.
At what point does a star turn on?
A star 'turns on' when it becomes large enough that there is enough pressure squeezing its insides to start a nuclear reaction. The pressure comes from gravity of the mass of the star. the planet Jupiter could become a star if it got significantly larger.
What type of rock are the curling stones made from?
They are mede of granite that usually comes from Scotland or Whales
