What is everything in the universe made up?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Everything in the universe is made up of matter and energy. Matter is composed of atoms, which are the basic building blocks of all substances. Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. These subatomic particles interact to form different elements based on the number of protons in the nucleus.

Elements are organized on the periodic table based on their atomic number, which corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus. Each element has a unique set of properties and characteristics. When atoms combine through chemical bonds, they form molecules and compounds with distinct structures and properties.

In addition to matter, energy is another fundamental component of the universe. Energy exists in various forms, such as kinetic energy (energy of motion), potential energy (stored energy), thermal energy (heat), electromagnetic energy (light), and nuclear energy. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be converted from one form to another.

What is the scale to measure earthquakes called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

M=log _{10}A-log _{10}A{0}} or

M = log-{10}A/A{0}

where A is the maximum excursion of the Wood-Anderson seismograph, the empirical function A0 depends only on the epicentral distance of the station,

1.0–1.9 Micro I Microearthquakes, not felt. Recorded by seismographs.[1 Continual/several million per year

2.0–2.9 Minor I Felt slightly by some people. No damage to buildings. Over one million per year

3.0–3.9 Slight II to III Often felt by people, but very rarely causes damage. Shaking of indoor objects can be noticeable. Over 100,000 per year

4.0–4.9 Light IV to V Noticeable shaking of indoor objects and rattling noises. Felt by most people in the affected area. Slightly felt outside. Generally causes zero to minimal damage. Moderate to significant damage is very unlikely. Some objects may fall off shelves or be knocked over. 10,000 to 15,000 per year

5.0–5.9 Moderate VI to VII Can cause damage of varying severity to poorly constructed buildings. Zero to slight damage to all other buildings. Felt by everyone. 1,000 to 1,500 per year

6.0–6.9 Strong VII to IX Damage to a moderate number of well-built structures in populated areas. Earthquake-resistant structures survive with slight to moderate damage. Poorly designed structures receive moderate to severe damage. Felt in wider areas; up to hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter. Strong to violent shaking in the epicentral area. 100 to 150 per year

7.0–7.9 Major VIII or higher Causes damage to most buildings, some to partially or completely collapse or receive severe damage. Well-designed structures are likely to receive damage. Felt across great distances with major damage mostly limited to 250 km from the epicenter. 10 to 20 per year

8.0–8.9 Great Major damage to buildings, and structures likely to be destroyed. Will cause moderate to heavy damage to sturdy or earthquake-resistant buildings. Damaging in large areas. Felt in extremely large regions. One per year

9.0–9.9 Extreme Near total destruction – severe damage or collapse to all buildings. Heavy damage and shaking extend to distant locations. Permanent changes in ground topography.

Hope that helps!!!!

Time it takes for earth to rotate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on which rotation you're thinking of.

Earth around its axis, one day, approximately 24 hours

Earth, around the Sun, one year, 364 .25 days

Well, it's simple. We have 24 hours in a whole day from 12 a.m. to 12 a.m., so, the Earth spins at a complete rotation on its axis. so the Earth with start its rotation at 12 a.m. and it will end at 12 a.m. the next day. So, basicly, it take 24 hours, 4 minutes and 48 seconds.

A rotation around the Earth's axis takes a day. A rotation around the sun takes a year. One cycle of the precession of the equinoxes takes 26,000 years.

4.3light year is equais to how many earth years?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In spite of its name, a light year does not indicate time, but it indicates distance! It actually equates to the distance that light travels in one Earth year, which is a very big distance, seeing that light travels at 186,000 miles per second.

Which molecules were nonpolar because all bonds were nonpolar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

H2, CH4, Cl2, C2H2, CO2, O2 were all non polar atoms because they all were not lone pairs (meaning that there were no one dots).

Also don't write this down but look at all the bonds. They all have 2 or 4 and not 3 or 5. For example: Cl2 and not Cl3.

What is iron oxide made up of?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Iron oxide is made up of iron and oxygen combined together.

There are three types of iron oxide viz.,

Iron(II) oxide (FeO) occasionally referred to as 'greenstone' , because it is slightly green in colour.

Iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) commerically referred to as iron ore. It is the most common and stable of the oxides of iron.

Iron(IV)Oxide (Fe3O4) known as magnetite. Because a rod or bar of it will orientate towards the north pole. Historically it was named 'lodestone'.

Is the earth experiencing a pole shift right now?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YES!!! It has always had a 'pole shift'.

If you look on any sophisticated map , there will be a key indicating true (Axial) North and Magnetic North.

The Magnetic North will have an indication on it showing it is increasing/decreasing by so much per year. So the magnetic pole is shifting.

Also, the true(axial) north is shifting too. This is because of 'Precession'. This is because the Earth spins on a daily basis, and the axis (Poles) counter spins much more slowly. So the poles are shifting.

NB Spin a gyro. Notice ,whilst spinning the gyro appears to 'wobble' , this is precession, and the Earth does exactly the same.
