Is bluing permanent?

Bluing, as it relates to firearms or metal in general, is a permanent surface treatment under ideal conditions. Poorly maintained bluing will fade or flake off. Bluing is a "form of rust", an oxide layer on the outside of the metal. You can remove it using various abrasives, but yes it is permanent.


How snow forms by physical change .explain?

Like air bubbles in boiling water, snow does not form out of nothing. There has to be a defect, a foreign substance. In the case of snow, its existence probably starts with a piece of dirt floating in air and drawn by rising air upward. Water moisture in air causes some water molecules to cling to the dirt particle. A small water droplet is forming. If the air temperature is below freezing (about zero degree Celsius at normal atmospheric pressure), the water droplet solidifies and a tiny ice molecule is formed. More water molecules are drawn to the cool icy surface and the slowly-building ice molecules become snow. A fast-forming ice particle will be called hail. A ice-forming failure results in something more like fog. Snow can form even when the tiny icy entity (with a dirt particle in the nucleus) is falling down to earth, if the temperature stays below freezing. Catch a snow flake on your palm and you can see the snow flake melts. However, within the blink of an eye, you can even see a tiny piece of ice in the middle of the puddle of water droplet on you palm.


How fast does sleet fall?

According to Nolan Doesken, assistant climatologist for the state of Colorado and author of "The Snow Booklet", a snow flake can fall anywhere from 9 miles-per-hour to 1.5 miles-per-hour. "The really rimed crystals can buzz right along like a blur," he says. "A nice little stellar crystal, the favorite magical snowflake with the arms that everybody draws, will float down more gently," at a mere 1.5 mph. See related links for the full article and more about the science behind snow.

What layer of the skin contains dead cells?

Dead skin cells are called keratin and are usually packed on the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet. They usually stay there and sometimes flake off. There is keratin on skin in general, and they just fall and is rubbed away. Unless you scrub off the keratin, it remains on the surface of our skin (epidermis).


Why does your skin renew itself?

The inner layer is constantly growing new cells which are pushed outward, where they desiccate and die. Each cell (as its dieing) is designed to attach itself to the cells next to it. If all goes well then you have a thin layer of dead, dry cells exposed to the outside world which slowly flake off. If the the cells are too well attached then you get flakes that are visible ... like dandruff or psoriasis.
