Most inanimate objects will become soft and fluffy, much like a lizard. Some inanimate objects will literally explode into several smaller "child" objects, which resemble the "parent" object in every way except they are textured in a manner similar to a porcupine. In extremely rare cases, nonliving objects exposed to radiation will grow arms and legs and destroy humanity. Some cases uncomfirmed. SOURCES: mit.edu, usa.gov, radiation.org

What are the differences between acute and chronic radiation exposure, and how do they impact human health differently?
Acute radiation exposure happens in a short period, causing immediate health effects like radiation sickness. Chronic exposure occurs over a long time, leading to long-term health issues like cancer. Acute exposure can be fatal quickly, while chronic exposure increases the risk of developing diseases over time.
Why is it unlikely that the first cell evolved at the earth sirface?
During the period when living things appeared on Earth, the surface level of ultraviolet (UV) radiation is believed to have been much higher than current levels, because oxygen levels were too low to form an ozone layer. This UV radiation would have damaged living cells that were not protected, suggesting that the earliest life was in warm water around deep-sea volcanic vents. However, some scientists have theorized that a hydrocarbon haze in the atmosphere could have compensated for the lack of upper level absoption, while providing the surface heat necessary for living organisms.
What is the meaning of radiation as used in the term adaptive radiation?
In this context, radiation means divergence: the emergence of multiple populations, each adapted to their particular niche or otherwise changing relative to their ancestors and siblings, from a common ancestor.
Latent phase of Acute Radiation Syndrome?
The latent phase of Acute Radiation Syndrome is the period following exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation where symptoms are not yet apparent. It can last from hours to weeks, depending on the radiation dose. This phase is characterized by the body's attempt to repair damage caused by radiation exposure before the onset of visible symptoms.
What if an effect of adaptive radiation?
An effect of adaptive radiation is the diversification of a single ancestral species into a variety of different forms to exploit different ecological niches. This can lead to the evolution of new species with specialized adaptations for specific environments or resources. Adaptive radiation is often associated with rapid speciation and can result in an increase in biodiversity within a relatively short period of time.
What are the effects of nuclear radiation on living things in the environment?
It depends on how much radiation a living thing or human is exposed to... In controlled radiation, such as X-Rays, little harm is done if exposure is short, controlled, and limited in time and number of incidents in a given period of time. However, pregnant women should not have X-Rays because the radiation will affect the fetus because fetal cells are rapidly dividing and a fetus cannot tolerate exposure at an adult's tolerance. The higher the exposure, the more that human or animal cells will mutate. Both can cause cells to hyper-divide, resulting in cancer. Lethal levels of radiation causes blindness, skin burns, cell mutation, and rapid death. Direct exposure to nuclear blast can incinerate all living things. Plant life will 'burn' or incinerate.
What does an acute dose of radiation refer to?
An acute dose of radiation refers to a significant exposure to radiation that occurs over a short period, typically within minutes or hours. This type of exposure can lead to immediate health effects, such as radiation sickness, depending on the dose received. Acute doses are often measured in grays (Gy) or sieverts (Sv), and the severity of the effects can vary based on the amount of radiation absorbed by the body.
Why are radiation treatments spread out?
In order to give normal cells time to heal and reduce side effects, radiation treatments are often given in small doses over a six or seven week period
What of particles does gravity affect?
Gravity effects anything that has mass, period. This includes electromagnetic radiation. Even light bends in space because of gravity.
Radiation received by the body over a short period is?
referred to as acute radiation exposure. It can lead to immediate health effects such as skin burns, nausea, and vomiting. Treatment for acute radiation exposure typically involves managing symptoms and providing supportive care.
Can humans survive the Jupiter radiation belt?
No, humans cannot survive the intense radiation in Jupiter's radiation belts. The radiation levels are far too high for any living organism to endure for an extended period of time without being heavily shielded. Even with advanced technology, the radiation in the Jupiter's radiation belts poses a significant risk to human health.
what are the harmful effects technology gives?
Sadly I do not know all of them, but radiation from cell phones can have gradual effects on you over a long period of time, microwaves can do similar things, and computers and electronic screens in general can damage your eyes. Also, loud music from music players. Of course, there are the social effects it can give you...
What Causes brown discharge after period?
See the related link on what causes brown discharge after period.
What is chronic radiation exposure?
Chronic radiation exposure refers to the continuous or repeated exposure to ionizing radiation over an extended period, typically at lower doses compared to acute exposure. This type of exposure can occur in various settings, such as occupational environments, medical treatments, or natural background radiation. Prolonged exposure can lead to detrimental health effects, including an increased risk of cancer and other radiation-related illnesses. Monitoring and minimizing chronic exposure is crucial for health and safety in environments where radiation is present.
What causes sunburn?
Exposing the skin to the ultraviolet rays of the sun for a too long period. It is also mainly caused through radiation of the sun.
When referring to radiation how long a time period is involved for the LD50 for humans?
50 years or less, by the dangerous radiation
Why do people die from radiation?
Severely oversimplifying things, ionizing radiation causes damage to cells:some cells die immediately, enough die the person dies in hours to dayscells die in the digestive system, causing diarrhea and dehydration and the person dies in weeksmutations transform cells to cancer, tumors grow over years and the person dies many years lateretc.
