Crude mineral oil comes out of the earth as a thick brown or black liquid with a strong smell. It is a complex mixture of many different substances, each with its own individual qualities. Most of them are combinations of hydrogen and carbon in varying proportions. Such hydrocarbons are also found in other forms such as bitumen, asphalt and natural gas. Mineral oil originates from the carcasses of tiny animals and from plants that live in the sea. Over million of years, these dead creatures form large deposits under sea­bed and ocean currents cover them with a blanket of sand and silt. As this material hardens, it becomes sedimentary rock and effectively shuts out the oxygen, thus preventing the complete decomposition of the marine deposits underneath. The layers of sedimentary rocks become thicker, and heavier. Their pressure produces heat, which transforms the tiny carcasses into crude oil in a process that is still going on today.


The time taken for the marine deposits to harden into rocks is

A) a few centuries B) millions of years
C) a few decades D) thousands of years

Q:

Liquids and gases never show

A) diamagnetic property B) paramagnetic property
C) ferromagnetic property D) electromagnetic property
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) ferromagnetic property

Explanation:

On the basis of magnetic properties, substances are classified into three groups namely diamagnetic, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic.

As solids diffuse and reorder very slowly under ambient conditions, the net, directionally dependent (anisotropic) magnetic moment can persist. Conversely, liquids and gases freely tumble and reorder: water rearranges every few pico seconds (10^12 times per second).

Hence liquids and gases can never show ferromagnetic properties.

Q:

What is the Focus of an Earthquake?

Answer

A Focus of an earthquake is the location where the earthquake begins. The ground ruptures at this spot, then seismic waves radiate outward in all directions.

At this focus point, the release of energy due to faulting actually occurs during an earthquake. The point directly above the focus on the surface is called Epicenter.


The focus is also called as Hypocenter as it is the synonym of the focus.
