Is Hawaii the only state that grows coffee?
Hawaii is the only state in the USA that has significant coffee production. Coffee is grown in small quantities in a few other states. Coffee has been grown as far north as Iceland, using greenhouses heated by volcanic steam.
What was the main light source before the industrial revolution?
Candles and gas lanterns were used at night before electricity.
Did Benjamin Franklin discover electricity?
No. Electricity was around long before Ben Franklin -- or humans for that matter.
Why are greenhouses also called glass houses?
Greenhouses are often referred to as glass houses because they traditionally use glass panels to allow sunlight to enter while trapping heat, creating a controlled environment for plant growth. The term emphasizes the transparent nature of the structure, which is essential for maximizing light exposure. Although modern greenhouses may utilize materials like plastic, the term "glass house" persists due to historical usage and the iconic design associated with glass.
Why did benjamin franklin create electricity?
Franklin's experiment was merely to prove that lightning was electricity, not to prove that electricity existed. Hence, the name "Father of Electricity" is inaccurate. Electricity was known to exist at least a century before Benjamin Franklin conducted his kite experiment; various mechanisms for the manipulation, creation and storage of electricity had been invented, such as static electricity generators and Leyden jars.
How did you heat your homes before electricity?
Before electricity, people heated their homes using fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, coal stoves, and oil lamps. These sources of heat provided warmth and light for cooking and heating water.
Do Iceland grown bananas?
All bananas consumed in Iceland are imported but some are grown for experimental purposes in geothermally heated greenhouses at the Horticultural institute.
Are there pineapple plants in Europe?
European is not a language. A pineapple is a type of fruit
What are most UK homes heated by?
gas or electricity.
When was Rainbow Greenhouses created?
Rainbow Greenhouses was created in 1985.
What is Rainbow Greenhouses's population?
Rainbow Greenhouses's population is 150.
When you pass heat which metal will produce electricity?
No single piece of metal will produce electricity when heated. You will need two different metals, mechanically touching. When the join between the metals is heated, it will produce electricity, dependant on the metals used. This is known as a 'thermocouple'.
What are ultra violet rays used for?
Ultra Violet or U.V. rays are communly used to get what is communly known as a "Tan" though they are also communly used to heat greenhouses and also to provide power using "Solar Panels" which use Silicon, which producess electricity when heated, to produce vary offten times Large yeilds of electrical charge.
How can water heated by the sun make electricity?
Water heated by the sun can be used to create electricity through a process called solar thermal power generation. In this process, the heated water is converted into steam, which drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity. This is a renewable energy source that utilizes the heat from the sun to generate power.
What are some examples of conductors which pass electricity when heated?
light bulbs
What gases are released from green a house?
That would depend upon whether the greenhouse is in use, and whether it is being heated, and how. Greenhouses heated with propane will release CO2. Greenhouses not in use may emit various gases, depending upon the state of decomposition of any organic material contained within them. In general, an unheated (or solar heated) greenhouse in use will tend to emit oxygen, via photosynthesis activity of the plants contained within it.
What happens to copper when it is heated?
When copper is heated it oxidizes. The additional oxygen molecules it takes on when oxidizes leads it to have a higher mass.
