What are the four types of clouds?
cumulus, stratus, cirrus, and amoughes, idk how to spell the last 1 :P
What is the metal sought after during the Klondike?
A metal sought after during the Klondike was gold.
Yes, cumulus clouds are puffy, white clouds with a flat base, often resembling cotton balls. They typically indicate fair weather when they are isolated or scattered, but can develop into larger storm clouds if they grow vertically.
Whats some info on Lightning whelks?
Lightning whelks are large predatory sea snails found in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic coast of the United States. They have distinctive spiral shells with spiky knobs and can reach lengths of up to 16 inches. Lightning whelks feed on mollusks and are known for their scavenging behavior.
What are the three types or stages of vocation?
The three types or stages of vocation are: pre-vocational (exploration and discernment phase), vocational (employment and career phase), and post-vocational (retirement or transitioning phase). These stages represent different points in an individual's journey of finding and fulfilling their calling in life.
Damages caused by mining asbestos?
Beside the Environmental Impact on the area, asbestos in generally 'Open Cast Mined', this will mean that potentially, the fibres could become airbourne relatively easily. I am sure that the companies who mine asbestos monitor the situation greatly but i wouldn't advise walking around an asbestos mine without great care.
Brent gets drunk and tries to kill himself, ends up hitting a girl named leah. He, like hercules, must find redemption by building whirligigs around the 4 corners of the U.S. hope that helps :)
What kind of educational background is required for a tornado chaser?
A degree in meteorology or atmospheric science is typically required to become a tornado chaser. Additionally, hands-on experience through internships or field work is beneficial for gaining practical skills in storm chasing techniques and safety procedures. A solid understanding of weather patterns, severe weather forecasting, and radar interpretation is essential for this career.
What clouds are the most dangerous?
Cumulonimbus is the most dangerous cloud coz it produces deadly lightning.
But if you are flying small aircraft at lower level. You are more likely to get Nimbostratus in flight. In that case, it can be as deadly as Cumulonimbus, because Nimbostratus is a dark, widespread low level cloud. If you fly into it, you may hit the top of a mountain or any high terrain before you can react.
Trains are a means of transportation that run on tracks and consist of connected carriages or cars. They are powered by locomotives and are used to transport passengers and goods over long distances efficiently. Trains are an important mode of transportation in many countries around the world.
Does lightning ever strike the same place twice?
Not only does it hit the same place more than once, several people have been hit more than once.
Sometimes in Florida where they have a lot of lightning and they have tree nurseries They have trees called lightning trees. These trees don't get sold they are there because they have been struck by lightning before which means they are one of the tallest trees in the grove they are there so they can attract lightning so the lightning doesn't strike other trees. So if your out in an open field every time when it is raining and lightning is going on too, you may get struck more than once.
It can and often has.
Who were the gods worshipped by the Vikings?
Well, off the top of my head there is Odin (also known as Woden), Thor, Freya (or Freyja) and Frey (brother and sister), and Loki. I know there are more, but those ore the only ones that come to me right now. Odin was the father of the gods (similar to Zeus) but I don't know his wife's name. Others include:
Hiemdall - Guardian of Asgard
Hel - Queen of 'Hel' the Norse underworld
Kvasir - First man and God of inspiration
Baldur - God of Peace, general Wonderment and Rebirth (ironic since he himself was not reborn after slain by...)
Hodur - God of winter
Sol (also Sunna) - Goddess of the sun
Ymir - Father of the Frost giants (the Auld Enemies of the Asgard Gods)
How can you avoid getting shocked because of static electricity?
actually yes!... you can... although it will be consider a weird thing to do. Constantly be touching wood. Never, if you don't want to be shocked, touch metal without touching wood first. There are other ways to stop getting shocked by static electricity. One way is to put lotion on exposed skin areas. See the Related Link for more ideas.
Setting up a fresh water aquarium?
This is going to be a very long explanation. You Need:
An aquarium - buy as large an aquarium as will fit in the proposed space. A kit with filter and light included is ideal, but you will need to buy these separately if they aren't included.
Gravel - choose a mixture of medium to coarse gravel and very fine sand - you can buy non-clouding sand from the pet shop/lfs (local fish shop, common abbreviation I will use through article.)
Non-living decorations - bogwood, stones etc. that you plan on using in your aquarium setup.
Ammonia and ammonia, nitrite and nitrate testing kits.
Water dechlorinator When you get the tank home:
Position the aquarium. Rinse the gravel thoroughly with dechlorinated water until water runs clean. Aquascape gravel. Rinse ornaments and put them in place. Rinse filter media and put them in the filter. Fill aquarium with dechlorinated water.
Go to www.fishforums.net and go to the beginner's forum. Read the article about fishless cycling.
'Cycling' is a vital process referring to the nitrogen cycle. The biggest and most common mistake new aquarium enthusiasts make is adding fish to a new aquarium without cycling it first. Fish waste is ammonia, and ammonia is toxic. In an uncycled tank, ammonia will poison your fish. In a cycled aquarium, bacteria growing in the filter and the gravel convert ammonia to slightly less toxic nitrite, and nitrite into only slightly toxic nitrate which live plants will use.
Often, cycling is done by putting some really tough fish in the aquarium to add ammonia and using them to cycle it, but this is a welfare issue. Fishless cycle is far preferable.
Cycle Your Aquarium Before You Do Anything Else. While the tank is being cycled, you can probably start adding live plants if you want them in there. Once the tank is cycled and planted:
Leave the tank run for three days after being cycled. (Cycling may take weeks, don't get impatient! Adding instant cycle products are not very reliable. Adding filter media (sponge, bioballs etc.) from a mature tank will speed cycle time).
Now you can start adding fish. Stocking:
Different species will be available depending on the setup, the size of the tank and what you like. I recommend guppies, platies and goldfish for beginners.
Types of clouds are linked to weather conditions. How?
All clouds are associated with weather conditions because they are visual representations of the different elements that affect our weather. Basically they are divided into three types; cumulus, cirrus, and stratus.
and in simpler terms cumulonimbus clouds and thunderstorms
The "Special" designation on the shotgun likely refers to it being a higher-grade model with extra features or embellishments compared to standard versions. Its serial number 65438 indicates that it was produced by Crescent Firearms, a well-known manufacturer of firearms in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, specific details about the features of this particular shotgun would require further research or examination by a firearms expert.
Are small diaphragm microphones better for high or low frequencies?
Small diaphragm microphones are typically better suited for capturing high frequencies due to their faster transient response and accuracy in reproducing detail in the higher end of the frequency spectrum. However, they can also capture low frequencies well, especially in well-designed models with extended frequency response.
What happens to the pitch of sound if the box is elongated?
If the box is elongated, the pitch of the sound decreases. This is because the elongation increases the length of the vibrating medium, resulting in a longer wavelength and lower frequency, which is perceived as a lower pitch.
What does it mean when your suction head is too high and your pump is not pumping water?
suction head is calculated wiht the formula head = 2.31 x psi so if your suction is 30psi then your head is around 60ft. of head. If your suction head is to high then there is not enough water to pump the needed psi for the task
What do we use to measure mass?
Mass is typically measured using a balance or a scale, which compares an object's mass to a known standard mass. The unit used to measure mass is the kilogram (kg) in the International System of Units (SI).
What happens when lightning strikes the ground?
I read a book by an electrical engineer who said, "When lightning strikes the earth. there is a positive charge in the earth from which sends runners up toward the base of a cumulonimbus cloud which has a negative charge. The negative charge sends out runners toward the runners of positive charge. When the two charges meet, the lightning charge goes toward the earth and the result is a bolt of lightning.
Probably because you stayed up lip syncing to one direction and wishing that Liam would call you!!! And I can't believe you sang the song "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepson to Harry's poster... I mean who does that? Anyways instead tonight you should listen to Hot Chelle Rae, they will bore your right to sleep... But don't listen to Miley Cyrus she will give you nightmares.
What is the capital of the world?
There is no accepted capital of the world, but it is said by many that the capital of the world is New York City because that is where the headquarters of the United Nations is located.
There is no global capitol.
Just bought a 1995 rodeo lifters are noisy is this normal can i adjust them?
What you want to do is this. Do an oil change with Valvoline high mileage 5-30. A can of 6 cylinder engine treatment. an a fram high mileage oil filter . this will cost about $30 at wal-mart. It took me years to figure this combo out. but they will quiten down and will get louder when your within 500 miles of oil change. so when it makes the noise its time for an oil change. The rodeo is notorius for the valves rattleing.
try a heavier weight oil maybe 15w30 or 15w40 you shouldn't have to do this but it may quiet them down for awhile. Either way you should have it checked by a mechanic.
What are the parameters that must be comtrolled in midrex process?
In the MIDREX process, parameters that must be controlled include the flow rates of natural gas and recycled gas, the temperature within the reduction shaft to ensure proper iron ore reduction, and the level of reducing gas (typically hydrogen and carbon monoxide) to maintain the desired reaction kinetics and product quality. Monitoring and controlling these parameters are crucial for efficient and effective direct reduced iron (DRI) production.
