Do continental-continental collisions cause mountain ranges?
Yes, continental-continental collisions can lead to the formation of mountain ranges through the process of crustal uplift and folding. The intense pressure and deformation generated during the collision cause the Earth's crust to fold, creating large-scale mountain systems like the Himalayas.
Which mineral is most resistant to being scratched?
Diamond is the hardest mineral and is most resistant to being scratched. It is ranked as a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, making it the hardest naturally occurring substance.
What are the effects of using seawater as a boiler feedwater?
Using seawater as boiler feedwater can lead to the buildup of damaging deposits, such as salt and minerals, in the boiler system. This can result in corrosion, reduced efficiency, and potential equipment failure. It is important to properly treat and condition seawater before using it as boiler feedwater to prevent these issues.
What is collision?
A collision is an isolated event in which two or more moving bodies (colliding bodies) exert forces on each other for a relatively short time.Although the most common colloquial use of the word "collision" refers to accidents in which two or more objects collide, the scientific use of the word "collision" implies nothing about the magnitude of the forces.Types of collisionsA perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. In reality, any macroscopic collision between objects will convert some kinetic energy to internal energy and other forms of energy, so no large scale impacts are perfectly elastic. However, some problems are sufficiently close to perfectly elastic that they can be approximated as such. An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy in the collision. Momentum is conserved in inelastic collisions (as it is for elastic collisions), but one cannot track the kinetic energy through the collision since some of it is converted to other forms of energy.Collisions in ideal gases approach perfectly elastic collisions, as do scattering interactions of sub-atomic particles which are deflected by the electromagnetic force. Some large-scale interactions like the slingshot type gravitational interactions between satellites and planets are perfectly elastic.Collisions between hard spheres may be nearly elastic, so it is useful to calculate the limiting case of an elastic collision. The assumption of conservation of momentum as well as the conservation of kinetic energy makes possible the calculation of the final velocities in two-body collisions.
Which scale relates the wind speed of a hurricane to the amount of damage it causes?
The Saffir-Simpson scale is used to categorize hurricanes based on wind speed and corresponding potential for damage. It ranks hurricanes on a scale from Category 1 (weakest) to Category 5 (strongest), with higher categories indicating greater wind speeds and potential for destruction.
How are Atlantic hurricanes ranked?
Atlantic hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. This scale categorizes them based on sustained winds. They are then ranked by category.

What is important when determining the type of collision that forms when two plates collide?
so you know what kind of land form you will find. and the collision will be put on the rector scale
Large scale folding of the earths crust may be caused by what?

How many times is diamond harder than sapphire?
You can see in the link, below, that a diamond is ranked as 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness, while a sapphire is ranked as 9. The Mohs scale ranks the hardness of minerals.The Mohs scale is an ordinal scale, meaning -- from Wikipedia:"Rank-ordering data simply puts the data on an ordinal scale. Ordinal measurements describe order, but not relative size or degree of difference between the items measured. "
