What is meant by a 'high energy' depositional environment?
a high energy depositional environment is one in which enough energy was present to transport large materials such as rocks and boulders. a low energy depositional environment like a stream is only able to transport materials such as fine sands.
What is the chemical formula for iron and chlorine?
The chemical symbol for iron is Fe, and the symbol for chlorine is Cl. If you meant when they are combined, there are two possibilities: FeCl2 for ferrous chloride or FeCl3 for ferric chloride.
Where does happen compaction?
Compaction in the broad civil engineering sense is usually meant to mean the increasing of the density of a material by applying compactive effort and removing the air present, i.e. decreasing air voids content.Good compaction is not difficult.You first need a material that is in a suitable condition to be compacted, you lay it in the correct layer thickness, and you use compaction plant capable of compacting that thickness.A variety of rollers both in size, weight and type are available to compact soil, granular and bituminous materials, and a number of hand operated devices are available for compaction in confined spaces such as trenches and haunch widenings.By far the most common cause of poor compaction is attempting to compact too thick a layer of material at a time.It is necessary to have the correct combination of roller compactive effort related to the thickness of material laid for successful compaction to occur.The importance of the correct compaction of materials cannot be stressed too highly, and you will find reference to appropriate compaction procedures in many British Standards, DOT Specifications and DOT Design Manuals, Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in the Highway, and other publications.Soil compaction will depend upon the nature of the soil and its moisture content.The soil can be a cohesive clay, sand and gravel, or more likely some combination of clay and granular material, e.g. boulder clay, which is what makes soil engineering so interesting.But if you have a soil, or granular material, that has cohesive properties, (i.e. exhibit plasticity), to whatever degree, moisture content becomes very important.Too wet you will have consolidation problems at a later date, too dry and full compaction will be hard to achieve, and further compaction/consolidation will happen at a later date as equilibrium moisture content is established.
What has no materials that were once part of a living thing?
glass is a prime example-- made of sand. Concrete is another. I disagree. Concrete is made by mixing cement and various aggregates, such as sand, pebbles, gravel, or shale, with water. Cement is a mixture of clay and limestone. Limestone is a sedimentary rock consisting predominantly of calcium carbonate, which is formed from the skeletons of marine microorganisms and coral. Concrete is made from once living things.
What is four metallic conductors?
In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is a material which contains movable electric charges. In metallic conductors, such as copper or aluminum, the movable charged particles are electrons (see electrical conduction). Positive charges may also be mobile in the form of atoms in a lattice that are missing electrons (known as holes), or in the form of ions, such as in the electrolyte of a battery. Insulators are non-conducting materials with fewer mobile charges, which resist the flow of electric current.All conductors contain electric charges which will move when an electric potential difference (measured in volts) is applied across separate points on the material. This flow of charge (measured in amperes) is what is meant by electric current. In most materials, the direct current is proportional to the voltage (as determined by Ohm's law), provided the temperature remains constant and the material remains in the same shape and state.Most familiar conductors are metallic. Copper is the most common material used for electrical wiring. Silver is the best conductor, but is expensive. Because it does not corrode, gold is used for high-quality surface-to-surface contacts. However, there are also many non-metallic conductors, including graphite, solutions of salts, and all plasmas. There are even conductive polymers. See electrical conduction for more information on the physical mechanism for charge flow in materials.
What is meant by ferrous metals?
The term refers to alloys which contain iron.
What is meant by materials management?
Materials management deals with a supply chains tangible components. It is a branch of logistics that tracts, moves and also stores the material for maximum return.
What is meant by organic material?
It means that the people who own the company, are tring to buy the "organic materials". It means that the people who own the company, are tring to buy the "organic materials". It means that the people who own the company, are tring to buy the "organic materials".
What is meant by magnetic permeability?
All materials are magnetized when placed in the magnetic field . The material magnetized by the effect of a magnetic field is called magnetic permeability.
What products are offered by the D30 Lab?
D30 Labs offers products that deal with shock absorbing materials. They can send the materials in a bulk form as sheets or a stuffing material as well as molded if meant to be be used in a specific item such as beds or shoes.
What is the oxidation number of iron in ferrousofericoxide?
I am going to assume you meant ferrous oxide. Ferrous oxide is also known as Iron(II) oxide and has the formula unit FeO. The oxidation number of iron in iron(II) oxide is +2.
How much does a pair of leggings weight?
The weight of a pair of leggings depends on the material. Material meant for summer weather is much lighter than material meant for winter.
What is the oxidation number of iron(II) oxide?
I am going to assume you meant ferrous oxide. Ferrous oxide is also known as Iron(II) oxide and has the formula unit FeO. The oxidation number of iron in iron(II) oxide is +2.
What is a meant by the words properties of materials?
Properties of the material help decide if the material should be used or not. Below are key properties to think about when selecting a material for use:1)Malleability - The ability to reshape a material (e.g metal, plastic) without cracking.2)Conductivity - The ability for a material to conduct electricity.3) Hardness - I'm sure you can guess what this is! (The ability of a material to resist scratching or wearing)
What is meant by reshuffling of genetic material?
crossing over or swaping genetic material
