RUBBER AND THIER FACTS

A material which can shrink and stretch is Rubber .Natural and synthetic rubbers are used extensively in consumer products and for industrial purposes. Common products include tires, pencil erasers, inflatable objects, building foundation components and gaskets.There are unknown amazing facts in rubber.

•In Each year,a rubber tree can produce 19 pounds of rubber.

•Rubber strongness is based on the amount of sulphur.

•Rubber is made up of accidentally by George.

•Natural rubber is made from the sap of a tree.

•Indians in South America used it hundreds of years ago.

•Rubber trees grow in huge farms called plantations.

•Natural rubber is one of the most important polymers for human society.

•Rubber is water-resistant, it is not damaged by water under any circumstances.

•Natural rubber band is biodegradable and renewable resources.

•Natural Rubber has excellent green strength and tack which means that it has the ability to stick to itself and to other materials which makes it easier to fabricate.

•The physical properties of rubbers are tensile modulus and strength.

•Rubber has specific gravity.

•The most of the rubber balls are not recycled.

•A Rubber trees reach a height of 15 to 30 meters and have a trunk diameter of up to one meter.

•The natural colour of caoutchouc is white and the name is derived from the Indian words ‘cao’ and ‘ocho’, which means “the drops of a tree“.

•The first rubber factory was founded near Paris in 1803. At that time, they mainly produced suspenders and garters.

WHY ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEAN ARE NOT MIXED?

Nearly 72% of the earth is filled with water and it is present with different names- oceans, seas, rivers. Why are they named differently? There are five oceans namely Artic ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian ocean and Antarctic ocean . All the oceans are different in their physical and biological character called ocean clines. When we look at the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean junction, they do not mix. Is there any invisible Wall in between them? Many scientists have conducted research to solve this mystery. The Atlantic and Pacific Ocean have different chemical composition. The salinity of the water in the Atlantic Ocean is five times more than the Pacific Ocean. The density of water is also different, so even marine animals in Atlantic Ocean will not go to the Pacific Ocean. They cannot survive in other oceans. Atlantic and Pacific Ocean meet at Cape Horn. The narrow straight line formed by the water bodies is called Drake Strait. The Pacific Ocean is ...

The Chemical Lake

 Spotted Lake or Lake khiluk in Canada is richly concentrated with various minerals. It contains dense deposits of magnesium sulfate, calcium, and sodium sulfates. It also contains high concentrations of eight other minerals and lower amounts of silver and titanium. Most of the water in the lake evaporates over the summer, revealing colorful mineral deposits. Large ‘spots’ on the lake appear and are colored according to the mineral composition and seasonal amount of precipitation. Magnesium sulfate, which crystallizes in the summer, is a major contributor to spot color.  Originally known to the First Nations of the Okanagan Valley (Native American Tribe) as Khiluk, Spotted Lake was for centuries and remains revered as a sacred site thought to provide therapeutic waters. It is the most mineralized lake in the world. Each spot holds a different cure due to the unique chemical content found within each puddle. Lake Khiluk is considered a saline endorheic alkali lake. The Okanag...

Why is the Pacific Ocean shrinking and the Atlantic Ocean is getting wider?

Twenty million years ago there was no Atlantic Ocean. But then, thanks to plate tectonics, the South American and North American continents were separated by a rift valley that eventually turned into the Atlantic Ocean. The complementary shapes of the South American and African continents have long been noticed, but it wasn't until the 1960s that the theory of plate tectonics became accepted as the explanation. These days, the Atlantic Ocean is growing at a rate of five centimetres per year, as new sea floor is created by volcanic activity along its mid-ocean ridge.        On the other hand, the much older Pacific Ocean is currently estimated to be shrinking by two to three centimetres each year. Again, this comes down to plate tectonics because the Pacific Ocean has subduction zones on three sides - where the Pacific plate submerges beneath other plates.  Since there are very few subduction zones in the Atlantic, Indian and Arctic oceans...
