Floppy disks are made of materials that degrade with time. Material degradation include cracks and chemical changes such as oxidation.
Physical force will break a floppy disk.
Heat will melt the disk or hasten oxidation of the material.
Spilling something on a disk creates a coating that can alter the physical movement of the disk.
Other chemicals can react with the material of the disk and change its physical or chemical characteristics.

How magnets are used in recording?
Magnets are or rather were used to record audio or video on cassettes media earlier (which had/have magnetic tape in them on which data was recorded using magnet), which have now (still used) but taken over by optical media (CDs, DVDs, Blurays). Hard Disks/Drives in computer also use magnets to record on them.
Are magnetic forces bad for computers?
Magnetic forces are not necessarily bad for computers, as mechanical hard disks use them to store information. However, you shouldn't place any magnetic objects near them as it will ruin your data that's store on those kinds of disks.
Are there magnets inside a computer?
No. The only parts that deal with magnetism are some kinds of storage, such as floppy disks, traditional hard drives, and tape libraries. However, some desktops and laptops are now shipping with SSD storage and are completely unaffected by most magnetism. Extremely strong magnetic fields are capable of interfering with any electrical system, however.
The vertical stacks of disks are called?
GRANA is the answer to:vertical stacks of disks are called
How will you know when photosynthesis is occurring in your leaf disks?
Photosynthesis in leaf disks can be detected by observing the buoyancy of the disks as they float. When photosynthesis occurs, oxygen is produced as a byproduct, causing the disks to become buoyant and rise to the surface of the water. Typically, this process can be observed through a change in the position of the disks within a given time frame, indicating that photosynthesis is actively taking place. Additionally, an increase in the number of floating disks over time serves as a clear indicator of photosynthetic activity.
What do you always keep away from computers and floppy disks because they can erase information?
magnets
What is the advantage of floppy disks?
they are floppy disks
Can a floppy disk be affected by a magnet?
Yes, a floppy disk will be affected by a magnet. Many floppy disks have magnetic components so coming into contact with permanent magnets can damage them.
What is the plural of floppy disk?
Floppy disks.
Why is floppy disk formatted?
Most floppy disks will come pre-formatted. All floppy disks need to be formatted to be usable.
How many startup disks needed to boot windows 2000 from floppy disks?
Four (4) startup disks are needed to boot Windows 2000 from floppy disks.
What are floppy disks divided into?
Floppy disk has tracks and sectors.
What a floppy drive is used for in a computer?
for putting floppy disks in it
What is the difference between hard disks and floppy disks?
hard disks are generally contains within the computer and contain FAR more memory than a floppy disk does. floppy disks generally contain 1.44 mb where as hard drives are constantly developing and are currently about 1TB MAX. floppy disks are external in the same way as CD's
How many floppy disc equal a 4gb flash drive?
You would need 729 floppy disks to hold 1GB of data. This is because:1 gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes1 floppy disk can hold 1,474,560 bytesSo floppy disks per gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 divided by 1,474,560, which is 728.18 disks. This means you would need 729 disks to hold the full 1GB.
Can floppy disks be bootable?
Yes.
Are floppy disks expensive to buy?
No they are not
