What new long word was created from the word volcanoes?
The word was "pneumonoultramicroscopic-silicovolcaniosis", created in 1935 to be the longest English word (45 letters). It partly succeeded. The Oxford English dictionary included it but labeled it "factitious" or not a valid word. The dust-created lung disease was already described as simply "silicosis".
When was the seismograph invented?
The first seismographs were invented by a Chinese man, Zhang Heng, in the second century around 132 A.D (After Christ) Heng's prototype considered of a cylinder with balls attached that it detected movement beneath the earth and alerted Heng by falling off. It was decorated with Chinese Dragons, the balls exiting from the mouths of the legendary dragons and into the mouths of frogs who were facing the direction of the quake. This idea was then develouped by John Milner in 1880 who invented the first MODERN seisomete...... These archaic seismographs were succeeded by electrical seismometers in the 1850s. Luigi Palmieri was an Italian inventor who responded to the plethora of earthquakes in his country by fashioning a device based on the scientific principles associated with the barometer. Palmieri's invention worked when a tremor beneath the earth created an electrical reaction between mercury and an electric switch. The electrical impulse serve to stop the ticking of an attached clock at the exact second that the tremor took place. The device was also fashioned to determine the intensity of the earthquake, as well how long the quake lasted.
Who discovered fluoride?
When was fluoride discovered and who discovered it....Edmond Frémy, (born Feb. 28, 1814, Versailles, Fr.-died Feb. 3, 1894, Paris), French chemist best known for his investigations of fluorine compounds. In 1831 he entered the laboratory of Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac and, after holding several teaching posts, succeeded Gay-Lussac in the chemistry chair at the Museum of Natural History, Paris (1850), of which he became director (1879-91).From Encyclopedia Brittanica
How many substances are solids at 0 degrees kelvin?
Zero on the kelvin scale is the lower limit of the temperature scale, and thus cannot be reached. A chemical at zero degrees Kelvin has no internal energy and thus does not exist. 0 Kelvin is also known as absolute zero. Laboratory experiments routinely produce temperatures close to absolute zero, but it is impossible to be at 0 K. The average temperature of the universe is 2.73 Kelvin.
Explain how geologists use fossils to date sedimentary rock layers?
It is possible in very rare circumstances. Radiometric dating is used mostly on minerals of igenous and metamorphic rocks. It is thus possible to get an absolute age of layers of volcanic ash or quite a good age estimate for sediments into which volcanic bombs or lapilli fell because their age of sedimentation is essentially their age of crystallization. It is impossible, though, to derive absolute ages of sedimentation from dating of minerals e.g. in sandstones, because those dates would give you an information about when the rock that was eroded to become the sandstone was formed. Quite recently people have succeeded in dating carbonate rocks via the small amounts of uranium that are incorporated in the carbonate minerals (not usually a sedimentary layer but still a sediment). High precision radiometric dates are derived from carbonate corals and speleothems as well using the decay chain of Uranium over Thorium (and other elements) to lead.
Scientists use a what to determine if a transformation was successful?
Scientists use a genetic marker to determine the success of a transformation. Genetic markers will change if the transformation has succeeded.
