What change in the stream would cause pebbles to be deposited farther offshore?
A greater volume of water would cause this.
What would you use to separate a mixture of pebbles and gravel?
your eyesight
What shape of pebbles would be the most useful in determining the direction of movement of the glacial advance?
round
How can you separate sand and pebbles?
As long as the particles of sand and pebbles are of different size, you can separate them using a sieve (sifter). The smaller sand particles will pass through the sieve whereas the pebble molecules will not. This is the process that occurs in sifters sold as children's toys.
How are the radioactive pebbles disposed of from pebble bed reactors?
The fuel in the pebble bed reactor (PBR) is permanently contained in the pebbles, and this will apply after discharge. Hence disposal of the spent fuel also implies disposal of the graphite and other material in the pebbles. It is not likely that any attempt to process the pebbles would be made. They would be stored in shielded repositories, on the station site at first and then in a geologically safe place for long term storage. This would be dry storage but some arrangement would be required to remove the decay heat. Since an array of pebbles is all that is needed for a critical assembly, consideration would have to be given to the geometry of storage, unless it can be shown that the depleted used fuel is always safe. (Following part from Wikipedia) Since the fuel is contained in graphite pebbles, the volume of radioactive waste is much greater, but contains about the same radioactivity when measured in becquerels per kilowatt-hour. The waste tends to be less hazardous and simpler to handle. Current US legislation requires all waste to be safely contained, therefore pebble bed reactors would increase existing storage problems. Defects in the production of pebbles may also cause problems. The radioactive waste must either be safely stored for many human generations, typically in a deep geological repository, reprocessed, transmuted in a different type of reactor, or disposed of by some other alternative method yet to be devised. The graphite pebbles are more difficult to reprocess due to their construction, which is not true of the fuel from other types of reactors. Proponents point out that this is a plus, as it is difficult to re-use pebble bed reactor waste for nuclear weapons.

How would you separate ground pepper and pebbles?
First put the mixture in a colander and separate the salt and pepper from the pebbles. Then put the salt and pepper in water and stir it to dissolve the salt. The pepper will not dissolve, and you can remove the pepper. Then allow the water to dissolve and you will be left with the salt.
If you dig one water well in pebbles one water well in clay and one water well in sand which would have the most water?
Typically, pebbles - there's more empty space in a given volume for water to travel in, there's less density in the material to inhibit the flow of water, etc. At least, that's what I see on a day to day basis. :)
What are unsorted sediments?
\sediments that are in a body of water that are not sorted by their type of sediment. for example, if there were cobbles, pebbles, and silt, in a lake, that would be unsorted
If you need to separate pebbles flour and Epsom salts that have been mixed with water what methods would be best to do this and in what order?
you can seperate it by using a screem
Why not use pebbles as hamster beddings?
Hamsters use bedding to sleep in. They make piles of it and dig in to sleep. Would they want to sleep in a mound of pebbles? No, pebbles won't work as bedding!
How would you separate water and salt water?
to separate salt and water you can put it out side and let the water evaporate or to speed things up you can put it on the stove.
Where to keep goldfish?
Most people would keep goldfish in a bowl or tank, filled with water. You can always add scenery such as pebbles plants and castles :D
Is sand or pebbles a mixture or solution?
it's a mixture !
What type of rock would generally be in the pacific ocean?
Pebbles
What would you use to separate a mixture of pebbles and gravel?
your eyesight
What colour is the Asteroid belt?
Considering the Asteroid Belt is made up of Dwarf Planets, asteroids, pebbles, grains and dust, it's difficult to be precise. As a combination, the best answer would be anywhere from grey to black.
