Thermite Background: Thermite is a powder made from aluminum powder and a metal oxide [usually iron oxide (Fe2O3‚ known as rust)]. The thermite reaction is a redox reaction‚ where Aluminum reduces the oxide of another metal. For example‚ when using iron oxide (as I did) the equation would be Fe2O3(s) + 2 Al(s) -> Al2O3(s) + 2 Fe(l). Black or blue iron oxide (Fe3O4) could also be used. Other examples of possible oxides are manganese thermite (MnO2)‚ Cr2O3‚ and copper thermite (CuO). Aluminum can

temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit has allowed the massive gypsum crystals to take their shape. For about 600‚000 year’s mineral-rich water filtered through the cave‚ depositing molecules of calcium sulfate in great amounts. The intrusive magma deep below the surface superheated the water‚ and then about half a million years ago the water temperature cooled to about 136 degrees Fahrenheit which then allowed the calcium sulfate in the water to form Selenite crystals. The water levels in the

The landforms and bodies of water that make up the landscape‚ the mountains and valleys‚ rivers and seas; the climate‚ the rains brought by the monsoons‚ the warm‚ humid weather that we frequently experience; the natural resources that we make use of; every plant and animal that live around us.

fertilize the soil for better growth of plants and similarly the sun’s light provides energy to green plants through photosynthesis. Although nature acts positively in many ways it also acts in a negatively. For example volcanoes release boiling hot magma that destroys land and causes deaths‚ in 1815 a volcano erupted in Indonesia which killed approximately 92‚000 people. Similarly this year there was an earthquake in Haiti on the 12th of January that had a magnitude of 7.0 and killed about 230‚000

at destructive plate boundaries. Volcanoes can also be formed at a destructive plate boundary‚ for example in New Zealand where the Pacific Plate descends swiftly as it is pushed under the Indo-Austrailian Plate‚ this causes the crust to melt and magma to rise to the surface. New Zealand and the Japanese Islands (shown in the diagram above) are both examples of Island archs‚ these are formed when the edge of the less dense continental plate is pushed upwards by the subduction. Earthquakes are also

Unlike other power plants that rely on coal or other ¬¬¬fossil fuels to create electricity for homes and businesses‚ geothermal power plants use superheated fluids from the earth’s geothermal energy to generate electricity. When magma heats up the water from underground‚ it creates superheated fluids. When these super-heated fluids reach the surface they will be turned into steam. This steam will then power a turbine‚ which will in turn power a conductor. The conductor will then produce electrical

Volcano Essay A volcano is an opening‚ or rupture‚ in a planet’s surface or crust‚ which allows hot magma‚ volcanic ash and gases to escape from below the surface. It is a raised area of land‚ which usually forms a mountain or hill. Volcanoes are generally found along tectonic plates- diverging or converging. There are four main types of volcanoes‚ dome‚ shield‚ composite cone and cinder cone‚ which are based on their shape. There are three levels of activity‚ active‚ dormant and extinct.

and the water lead me to find the cell where she was imprisoned. Now that I had found her‚ we needed to escape but I thought we were lost in the maze. We needed to find the way out‚ but waiting for us was only despair because in here there was only magma‚ swamp‚ water‚ lever mechanisms and a whole maze completely locked dead‚. I saw a mossy room‚ I heard the rain dripping down and the sound made us have the desire to survive. I smelled the rotting bodies of people who tried to escape but couldn’t.
