Why is lithosphere called mineral skin?
Just like the skin of body ,lithosphere is the thin outermost layer of earth having an average distance of 17 km only. This layer is also a storehouse of minerals and hence it is rightly called "Mineral skin"
What lies beneath the topsoil of the tundra?
Below the topsoil of the tundra is the permafrost layer, which consists of permanently frozen soil, rocks, and sediments. This layer acts as a barrier to water drainage and plant root growth. Beneath the permafrost layer is the unfrozen ground, which can include roots, soil, and debris.
Sediments in sedimentary rocks are often held together by what?
Cement is what binds the siliclastic framework grains together. Cement is a secondary mineral that forms after deposition and during burial of the sandstone. These cementing materials may be either silicate minerals or non-silicate minerals, such as calcite.Silica cement can consist of either quartz or opal minerals. Quartz is the most common silicate mineral that acts as cement. In sandstone where there is silica cement present the quartz grains are attached to cement, this creates a rim around the quartz grain called overgrowth. The overgrowth retains the same crystallographic continuity of quartz framework grain that is being cemented. Opal cement is found in sandstones that are rich in volcanogenic materials, and very rarely is in other sandstones.Calcite cement is the most common carbonate cement. Calcite cement is an assortment of smaller calcite crystals. The cement adheres itself to the framework grains, this adhesion is what causes the framework grains to be adhered together.Other minerals that act as cements include: hematite, limonite, feldpsars, anhydrite, gypsum, barite, clay minerals, and zeolite minerals.
What force squeezes and pushes together?
The force that squeezes and pushes objects together is typically called compressive force. This force acts to reduce the volume or increase the density of the object being compressed. Examples include the force exerted on a spring when it is compressed or the force of gravity acting on a stack of books.
What uses a platinum wire dipped into a solution of the mineral?
A platinum wire dipped into a solution of a mineral can be used in various analytical techniques such as flame tests or voltammetry to detect and quantify the presence of specific elements or ions in the solution. The platinum wire acts as an electrode to facilitate the chemical reaction between the mineral solution and the analytical technique being used.
Together the quebec act and the coerctive acts was called the what act by the colonist?
The Intolerable Acts
Is the gravity a repulsive force meaning it acts to pull objects together?
Gravity acts to pull objects together. That's called an "attractive" force, not a 'repulsive' one.
What is it called when a group of gene pairs acts together to produce a trait?
Polygenic Inheritance!
A rock that has magnetic properties is?
Lodestone is a rock that has magnetic properties.
What did the colonists called the coercive acts?
The Intolerable Acts
What intermolecular force acts within a metal wire?
The forces which hold a metal together are called metallic bonds. They consist of delocalised electrons which bind all the atoms together.
What are Islams acts of worship called?
Islamic acts of worship are called ( ibadah )
What is the Function of mineral oil in hand cream?
Mineral oil acts as a moisture barrier to prevent the loss of moisture from the skin, keeping the skin hydrated.
What the acts passed by Britain after the Boston tea party were called in Americas?
They were called The Intolerable Acts in America and the Coercive Acts in Britain.
How did the colonists show their for the coercive acts?
They called them the Intolerable acts
A group of more than one atom joined together that acts like a single particle?
A molecule is a group of more than one atom joined together that acts like a single particle. The atoms in a molecule are held together by chemical bonds. Molecules can be composed of different types of atoms and can range in size and complexity.
Why did the colonis call intolerable acts The Intolerable Acts?
They were called Intolerable Acts by colonists because the acts were intolerable and horrible.
