Are tornadoes decreasing due to global warming?
Currently scientists are uncertain as to how global warming would affect tornadoes. This is further complicated by a lack of complete, long-term tornado records. So far no substantial link has been discovered.
How does terrain effect the formation of tornadoes?
It is uncertain. There is some evidence that hills can weaken tornadoes, but only slightly.
What are the example of inner transition element?
The inner transitional metals contain 2 main groups, the lanthanide series, and the actinide series (f block elements). The lanthanide series include the 14 elements that proceed lanthanum (atomic number 57) from atomic numbers 58 to 71. Their electron configuration include the 4f and 5d energy levels. Because of the closeness of those two levels, there is considerable uncertainty in some electron configuration assignments. The actinide series include the 14 elements that proceed actinium (atomic number 89) from atomic numbers 90 to 103. The electron configurations of the actinides are even more uncertain than the lanthanides because the closeness of the energy levels and because the nuclei are unstable to radioactive decay. Only minute amounts of some elements are obtained because of their instability. All of the actinides are unstable with respect to alpha emission. The later members tend to undergo spontaneous fission, a fact which limits the number of elements possible.
Why geothermal energy and nuclear energy different in respect?
Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's core. As we can't examine this directly, scientists are uncertain just what produces this energy. Some will come from radioactive decay, and some is the residue from when the Earth was formed as a lump of hot matter, from some unknown supernova. As far as we know there is no nuclear fission process going on in the core, though I don't see why this should be discounted. Nuclear energy as produced by man is definitely a process of nuclear fission, so this is the difference.
Did any animals die in the boscastle flood in 2004?
It is uncertain whether any animals died in the Boscastle Flood of 2004. However, there were no widespread or major reports of any loss of life, animal or otherwise.
Why are scientists uncertain about the electronic structures of the Actinides?
Scientists are uncertain about the electronic structure of the Actinides because they have short lifespans. Some of the actinides have such short half lives that it is impossible to figure out their exact chemistry.
Scientist are uncertain about the electronic structures of the actinides because?
They have such short lifetimes
When was hybrid computer invented?
Uncertain, but sometime in the early 1950s when an off the shelf electronic analog computer was interfaced to an electronic digital computer.
