Sodium is more or less active than magnesium?

Sodium is less active than magnesium. Magnesium is located higher in the reactivity series of metals than sodium, indicating that magnesium is more reactive and likely to form compounds with other elements compared to sodium.


What are active faults and inactive?

Most geologist consider a particular fault to be an active fault if it has moved during the past 10,000 years of the Holocene Epoch. An inactive fault is one that hasn't moved during the past 10,000 years of the Holocene Epoch.


What is the difference between Active and inactive faults?

An active fault is a fault that has displayed recent seismic activity, while an inactive fault has not displayed recent seismic activity.Do not be fooled by the word "recent," however, as we are talking about "recent" from a geological perspective, which is much different from a non-geologic perspective. Because of the fickle nature of plate tectonics, an active fault could have earthquakes as often as once every few years or once every one thousand years. Conversely, it's very hard to call a fault inactive if we don't know it's quake history, and for some faults, geologists will wait ten thousand years in between quakes to call them inactive.There are a variety of techniques that geologists can use to help them determine the frequency of earthquakes among faults, however. If a history of quakes coming from the fault are available, scientists can look at the average period of time in between quakes to determine whether a fault is presently "active" or "inactive." Scientists can also measure creep among fault lines to check for seismic activity.There really is no way to concretely define a fault as "active" or "inactive" (especially because inactive faults can suddenly become active again), but it's more or less safe to say that if a fault hasn't shown tectonic activity for about 5,600 years, it's probably inactive.++Just to add to that explanation, if movement occurs on long-quiescent fault in a new phase of tectonic activity, the fault is described as 're-activated', and the new movement can be the opposite to the original.


What is inactive fault?

According to the book Natural Hazards, most geologist consider a particular fault to be an active fault if it has not moved during the past 10,000 years of the Holocene Epoch.


Does Tums contain magnesium trisilicate?

No, Tums does not contain magnesium trisilicate. Tums uses calcium carbonate as its active ingredient to help neutralize stomach acid and relieve heartburn and indigestion.
