Earth's mantle extends to a depth of 2,890 km, making it the planet'sthickest layer. Thepressureat the bottom of the mantle is ≈140 GPa (1.4 Matm). The mantle is composed ofsilicate rocksricher in iron and magnesium than the overlying crust. Althoughsolid, the mantle's extremely hot ...
Although we now know that the Earth formed roughly 4.5 billion years ago, the next 600 million years of Earth history is essentially blank. The oldest rock samples yet identified on Earth(from the Northwest Territories in Canada) have an age slightly greater than 3.9 billion years. These rocks...
Since radon comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils, it typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have ...
uranium 238- the commonest isotope of uranium; it is not fissionable but when irradiated with neutrons it produces fissionable plutonium 239 atomic number 92,uranium,U- a heavy toxic silvery-white radioactive metallic element; occurs in many isotopes; used for nuclear fuels and nuclear weapons ...
Potential hazards from mine tailings and waste products pose significant risk to uranium mine workers themselves and to surrounding communities. During the radioactive decay chain, ionizing radiation is emitted from the radioactive isotope U-238 and its progeny in the form of alpha particles, beta ...
The distribution of the decay products of uranium in sediments is consistent with a residence time for deep waters in the Atlantic only slightly greater than today. However, evidence from multiple water-mass tracers supports a different distribution of deep-water properties, including density, which ...
Related to radium:radium therapy,uranium ra·di·um (rā′dē-əm) n.SymbolRa A rare, brilliant white, luminescent, highly radioactive metallic element found in very small amounts in uranium ores, having more than 40 isotopes and isomers with mass numbers between 201 and 234, of which Ra...
Third, organic matter generated by plant growth and decay is used as an energy source by various microorganisms that contribute to metal transformation and fixation in the aqueous and particularly the benthic zone (Hansel et al. 2001). As a consequence, iron and other metals from soil-solution ...
