The Earth’s core takes up sixteen percent of Earth’s volume‚ containing thirty-three percent of its Mass ..Pressure rises steadily inside the earth because of the weight of overlying rock. Therefore ‚the Pressure at the outer boundary of the core reaches 1.37 million atmospheres‚ 3.7 million Atmospheres. The core is made mostly of iron and nickel and possibly smaller amounts of lighter elements including sulfur

soil will vary geographically and at different soil depths. Moisture content changes seasonally‚ varies according to the nature of the sub layers of earth‚ and the depth of the permanent water table. Since soil and water are generally more stable at deeper strata‚ it is recommended that the ground rods be placed as deep as possible into the earth‚ at the water table if possible. Also‚ ground rods should be installed where there is a stable temperature‚ i.e. below the frost line. For a grounding

PLANT RESPONSES TROPISM is a biological phenomenon‚ indicating growth or turning movement of a biological organism‚ usually a plant‚ in response to an environmental stimulus. In tropisms‚ this response is dependent on the direction of the species. The word tropism comes from the Greek trope ("to turn" or "to change"). Tropisms are usually named for the stimulus involved and may be either positive (towards the stimulus) or negative (away from the stimulus). Phototropism is the growth response
