What was the cause of the titanic disaster?
Asked by Wiki User
No, the sinking of the RMS Titanic was not a natural disaster. By definition, a natural disaster is a disaster caused by natural forces (like a hurricane or an earthquake), rather than by human action.
Though the main cause of the RMS Titanic's sinking was the effect of hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage in April 1912, the other cause was human error. So, natural causes did not explicitly cause the RMS Titanic to sink.

The ship failed to have enough lifeboats for all passengers, leading to a tragic loss of life. It remains one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history.
Asked by Wiki User
Since the part below the water is 7 times the size of the part above water, the total size of the iceberg can be divided into 8 equal parts (7 parts below water + 1 part above water). Therefore, the fraction of the iceberg above water is 1/8.
Is titan made up of methane and water vapour?
Asked by Wiki User
Titan's atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen, with trace amounts of methane and other hydrocarbons. Water vapor is also present in very small quantities. The surface of Titan is mostly composed of water ice and rocky material.

On the titanic what were the funnels used for?
Asked by Wiki User
The funnels on the Titanic were used to release exhaust gases and smoke from the ship's engines.

Life exploded for the first time?
Asked by Wiki User
The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe began as an extremely hot and dense state around 13.8 billion years ago. Over time, matter and energy expanded and cooled, eventually giving rise to the formation of galaxies, stars, and eventually planets where life could potentially emerge.

If a box is 3cm by 2cm by 10 cm how much mass could it hold before if would sink in water?
Asked by Wiki User
To determine how much mass the box can hold before sinking in water, you need to calculate its volume and compare it to the volume of water it displaces when fully submerged. The buoyant force acting on the box must be equal to or greater than its weight for it to float. Given the dimensions of the box, find its volume, then calculate the weight of water displaced by that volume to determine the maximum mass it can hold before sinking.
