There is no nice and easy formula to calculate what is being asked. Turbines and generators will have different efficiency curves. Nothing was mentioned about the pressure of the steam in the question. As the temperature and pressure of the steam rise, a pound of steam will contain more energy that can be used by the turbine.

In general, though, 20,000 to 25,000 pounds of steam an hour flowing through a plant will give one megawatt of production. It is important to note this is for a power plant. The residential geothermal energy that is being used in houses is not a suitable energy source for power production.

There are two sections to the core (or centre) of the Earth. The outer core is liquid as it is very hot. The inner core, however is solid because, despite being hotter, the massive pressure of the Earth's weight compresses it into a metal.

I would consider tiny pieces of rock carried by water to be sediment. Sediment is generally clay or sand particles, but any type of rock ground into fine particles can be carried by water. This may include igneous-type rocks (those that come from around volcanoes and the bottom of the ocean).

For a tsunami, you may need resources such as early warning systems, evacuation plans, emergency supplies including food and water, communication systems to reach the public quickly, and information on how to respond during and after a tsunami. It is essential to have well-coordinated local, national, and international resources in place to effectively mitigate the impact of tsunamis.

The Japanese word for lightning is "kaminari" (雷).

Earths magnetic orientation is locked into the rock when the rock cools

Cerro Negro is located on the boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the Cocos Plate in Nicaragua. This boundary is characterized by the subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the Caribbean Plate, leading to volcanic activity in the region.

Well there not called earthquake waves. They are called "seismic waves."

There are 3 types of them P- and S-waves. Also Surface waves, those are the most detructive ones. The _waves are the least destructive ones. They are the ones you feel right before a earthquake.

I'm 11 just so u peoples know...................i sounded like a teacher huh....peace peoples!!!!! :)

You can try contacting geological supply companies, universities with geology departments, or online vendors specializing in rock and mineral specimens to purchase small samples of sandstone, limestone, chalk, and shale for testing. You may also consider visiting mineral shows or rock shops that sell geological specimens.

The idea of a science high school in the Philippines came from a Filipino mathematician, Dr. Leopoldo V. Torralballa, who was then a professor of mathematics at New York University. Patterned after the Bronx High School of Science in New York City, the envisioned science high school was created for the purpose of giving an education highly enriched in science and mathematics to exceptionally gifted Filipino children.

The vision was realized in 1963, and now, it has grown into seven campuses in different locations in the Philippines. The PSHS system is committed to the same ideals as those of the original campus, and its goal is to have one unified PSHS - in academic excellence, in leadership, and in spirit.

The eight most abundant elements in Earth's continental crust are oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium. These elements make up the majority of the Earth's crust composition.

Living cells are negatively charged inside primarily due to the presence of negatively charged molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids within the cell. These molecules carry a net negative charge, creating an overall negative charge within the cell. In addition, the cell membrane selectively allows certain ions to flow in and out of the cell, maintaining an electrical potential that contributes to the negative charge inside the cell.

The last seismic waves to arrive during an earthquake are the surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface and are responsible for the majority of the damage caused by the shaking. These waves move more slowly than the initial primary and secondary waves that travel through the Earth's interior.

Transversions occur on the transform fault lines between two plates. The motion of transversions is a sliding motion where both the plates are either dextral or sinistral. Dextral is when the plate block farthest from the observer is sliding to the right and sinistral is when the block farthest from the observer is sliding to the left. In this grinding process, the plates are neither constructive or destructive like in converging and diverging plates. Neither plate subducts in a transversion. They merely slide past each other.

This geological formation is called a syncline. It is a downward fold in the rock layers where the youngest layers are in the center and the oldest are on the outside.

This is called a lock. It functions by either allowing water in or out to raise or lower a ship to match the water level on the other side. This helps vessels navigate through canals with varying water levels.

Diamond has stronger bonding because of the fact that it has 2p valence orbit whereas Silicon has 3p valence orbit. Moreover we know that as we go farther away from Nucleus the shielding of electrons takes place.Due to this shielding, the bonding becomes weaker. In case of Silicon carbide and Silicon dioxide 3p orbits are participating in bonding. Hence the shielding leads to weakening of bond.Shielding is not there in case of Diamond as mentioned. Hence this is the reason why Diamond is harder.

The movement of the continents, known as plate tectonics, is primarily driven by the slow movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid mantle beneath them, causing them to gradually shift position over millions of years due to forces like mantle convection and the pull of subducting plates. The shifting of the continents impacts various geologic processes such as mountain-building, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.

In a life-threatening situation, you can try and do anything to survive. But the sheer force and power of a tsunami would make it extremely difficult. People who have survived are often found to have been holding on to bigger objects.

If you draw this out, it should become clear:

Starting -------------------------------> Ending

Phase 1: I angle 0 (switch with 3) I angle 120

Phase 2: I angle -120 I angle -120

Phase 3: I angle 120 (switch with 1) I angle 0

From the starting position, you see phases 1-2-3. Since phase 1 and 3 are swapped at the ending position, their order would swap as well, so you would see a phase rotation of 3-2-1. If you drew these out you would see a clockwise rotation one way, and a counter clockwise rotation the other way.

Continental drift can affect macroevolution by separating populations of species across different landmasses, leading to allopatric speciation. Over time, isolated populations can accumulate genetic differences, potentially leading to the emergence of new species. Additionally, changing geological conditions resulting from continental drift can create new habitats and ecological niches, driving adaptation and evolution in different lineages.

Mt. Toba is a supervolcano, which is a type of volcano capable of producing massive eruptions with a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 8, the highest level. These types of eruptions are thousands of times more powerful than typical volcanic eruptions.
