X-rays, mainly.
The existence of a black hole may be inferred from its gravitational effects on surrounding objects, such as stars or gas clouds that appear to be orbiting an invisible massive object. Additionally, the emission of high-energy radiation, such as X-rays, from the accretion disk of material spiraling into the black hole can also provide indirect evidence of its presence. Measurements of intense gravitational lensing effects can further support the existence of a black hole.
This is NOT true. Black holes are formed when massive stars explode in supernovas, blowing much of the star into space and crushing the core into a black hole. One of the things that WILL happen is a massive pulse of x-rays and gamma rays.
An active black hole is a black hole that it by all manner of terms is "feeding". That is, it is accreting matter, or sucking matter into itself. Most black holes are dormant and don't show any signs of accreting matter.
Matter falling onto a black hole can form an accretion disk heated by friction, forming some of the brightest objects in the universe. These bright objects are indicative of nuclear meltdown due to the stretching and compaction of matter as it nears the event horizon. Preceding the accretion disk, there is a increase in the speed of star revolving about a central black hole as it is gravitationally attracted toward a black hole.
If a quark star were to collide with a black hole, several outcomes are possible depending on the mass and velocity of the objects. Potential scenarios include the quark star being devoured by the black hole, leading to an increase in the black hole's mass, or a violent event such as the emission of gravitational waves and high-energy particles. These collisions are complex phenomena that are still being studied by scientists.
The extreme energies associated with matter falling into a black hole often excite it enough to produce characteristic x-ray emissions.
Quite on the contrary - it's so dim that we can't see it: no light escapes from the hole. The only emission indicating presence of a black hole may come from accreting matter surrounding a hole. Although Hawking's radiation is associated with event horizon, it is undetectable at such distances.

No. The idea of a black hole was first proposed in 1783, 230 years ago. The first observations believed to indicate the presence of a black hole were in 1964.
There is no way you can *quickly* destroy a *large* black hole. However, it is believed that black holes will gradually evaporate, via the emission of Hawking radiation. The radiation, in this case, will simply go out into space.
The presence of a black hole warps the space-time fabric around it, creating a strong gravitational pull that can bend light and distort the paths of objects nearby.
It is actually difficult to determine the distance to black holes, but a nearby object believed to be a black hole from observations of strong X-ray emission is Cygnus X-1, located about 8000 light years away. Cyg X-1 is an ordinary star that is believed to be orbiting a black hole.
The color of a dog's butt hole is typically black due to the presence of melanin, a pigment that gives skin its color. This is normal and not a cause for concern.
X-rays are the best band for studying black holes as the radiations emitted by the black hole is X-rays so we can expect the presence of a black hole anywhere in the Universe.
We cannot see black holes because no light comes from them1. They are so gravitationally massive that even light cannot escape from a black hole, thus the name black hole.1 While there is an emission of matter and energy, called Hawking radiation, that theoretically radiates from the perimiter of a black hole, no energy of any kind (including Hawking radiation) escapes from inside the black hole.
The presence of water does not directly affect the formation or behavior of a black hole. Black holes are formed from the collapse of massive stars and are characterized by their immense gravitational pull, which can even pull in light. Water, being a common substance on Earth, does not have a significant impact on the formation or behavior of black holes in space.
This is NOT true. Black holes are formed when massive stars explode in supernovas, blowing much of the star into space and crushing the core into a black hole. One of the things that WILL happen is a massive pulse of x-rays and gamma rays.
