Is the release of pressure mechanical or chemical weathering?

The release of pressure is a form of mechanical weathering. This process occurs when overlying materials are removed through erosion or due to changes in tectonic forces, causing the underlying rock to expand and crack due to the reduction in pressure.


The fracturing of rock along curved lines that results when pressure is removed from bedrock?

The fracturing of rock along curved lines due to the release of pressure is known as exfoliation or sheet jointing. This process causes the outer layers of rock to peel away like an onion skin due to the reduction of overlying weight. It is common in granite and other igneous rocks.


What is difference between residual magnetism and retentivity?

Residual magnetism and remanence are the same thing. The term residual magnetism is often used in engineering applications. Both terms describe the magnetization, and measure of that magnetism, left behind in a ferromagnetic material after the external magnetic field is removed.


What instrument measures changes in the atmosphere?

There are many types of instrument used to measure air pollution. Different types include:Absorption plates trap pollutants such as sulfur dioxide on a reactive plate for a measure of air contaminantsAn a high volume air sampler is used to measure pollution levels in the atmosphere by collecting solids on a filter paperLasers measure contaminants by the amount of light reflected or removed by specific chemical contaminants in the air between the emitter and receiverField gas chromatography passes air through a packed column to measure types of gaseous contaminantAir samples can be taken an stored in Teflon bags for later laboratory analysisScrubbers can collect contaminants from an air sample in the field for later analysisPhytotoxicolgic chambers can pass air over plants to determine the impact on plant growthOpacity meters measure haze


If oxygen is removed from a sample of air as iron rusts what happens to the total pressure of the air?

The total pressure of the air decreases because oxygen is being consumed in the rusting process, resulting in fewer gas molecules in the sample. The other components of the air, such as nitrogen and other gases, remain unchanged.

What is an adenoid punch?

a curved instrument with a chamber that is placed over the adenoids. The chamber has a knife blade sliding-door to section off the adenoids that are then housed in the chamber and removed with the instrument


What is the process of brewing coffee using a vac pot?

The process of brewing coffee using a vac pot involves heating water in the lower chamber, creating vapor pressure that forces the water into the upper chamber where it mixes with coffee grounds. After brewing for a few minutes, the heat is removed, causing the brewed coffee to flow back down into the lower chamber as the vapor pressure decreases.


What are the uses of anaroid barometer?

A barometer is used to measure barometric pressure. An aneroid barometer has a sealed chamber with some air removed, creating a vacuum. A chain, lever, or spring connects a needle to a plastic disc covering the container. The pointer moves left to right as the air pressure increases or decreases.


Why does a balloon collapses when air is removed from it?

A balloon collapses when air is removed from it because the pressure inside the balloon is higher than the pressure outside. As the air is removed, the pressure decreases inside the balloon causing it to shrink.


What happens to the air pressure inside a vacuum chamber?

Short answer:A vacuum is actually a description of very low pressure.Long answer:This question really depends on the case. For this answer I'll be referring to an air cylinder like in a paintball gun or so on. Air pressure is the pressure or force a gas exerts on an object. For example atmospheric air pressure is the weight of all the air in the atmosphere above you pushing down on you. Or in the case of a cylinder pressure is the force of the molecules and atoms of air bumping into the wall of the cylinder. the more collisions with the walls the higher the pressure. Adding more air means more atoms to bump around and more pressure. As you start to remove the atoms and molecules from the cylinder there are less and less to bump into the walls. Thus lowering the pressure of the cyclical. A vacuum is reached when there are little to no more molecules or atoms bouncing around inside the tube. Therefore a vacuum is actually a description of very low pressure.


Can you play a woodwind instrument after having your wisdom teeth removed?

Yes, of course.


What are some words related to weather that start with the letter A?

· ablation (the process of being removed - snow ablation refers to snow removal by melting) · acid rain (rain including pollutants) · advisory · air mass · air pollution · air pressure · airstream · altitude · altocumulus (mid-altitude clouds with a cumuliform shape) · anemometer (instrument that measures wind speed) · arctic air · atmosphere · avalanche


What is the stock fuel pressure for a 1992 GMC Typhoon?

Stock base fuel pressure is 42 psi. This is the pressure when the vacuum hose is removed from the fuel pressure regulator. The vacuum hose must be plugged when its removed from the regulator.


Describe vacuum drying method under reduced pressure?

In vacuum drying, the material is placed in a chamber where air and moisture are removed by creating a reduced pressure environment. This helps lower the boiling point of water, allowing it to evaporate more easily from the material at lower temperatures. The reduced pressure also accelerates the drying process by promoting faster moisture removal.


Is the ac line under pressure and if so how do you relieve it to replace the compressor?

Yes the ac lines are under pressure. The high side is under dangerously high pressure. The Freon needs to be removed by a reclaiming machine and the pressure will be removed.
