Shower water dripping puddle on floor?
there are these plastic triangle pieces that you glue to that bottom front corner of the tub and surround and then you caulk around them. As a second measure buy a plastic shower curtain with the little suckers on it. This will cause the shower curtain to adhere to the surround thereby stopping water flow to the floor. I had to personally instruct my roommates to MAKE SURE they stuck the suckers or they could pay to replace the floor!!!
Is it possible for all the Earth's ocean water to fall into an opening on the sea floor?
Is it possible for all the Earth's ocean water to fall into an opening on the sea floor?Sure, with seafloor spreading most of the water in the oceans could flow through the hole and into a void. Not actual all the water as water would be trapped in the various valleys on the ocean floor and create miniature seas. The water would then be ejected when it reaches a certain heat level and refreshed with cooler water, as in a typical hydrothermal system. There are many examples of this occurring in the mid Atlantic and elsewhere.Voids like this can be created through ‘mantle convection’ and might actually suck water into the respective void as they are forming.To my knowledge, no hydrothermal system has occurred that has significantly altered the oceans level. But it is possible, and then I would contend only be a temporary state.
What would happen if the mantle disappeared? Would the lithosphere fall to the outer core?
If the mantle were to suddenly "disappear", disregarding the obvious impossibility with this scenario, the release of the lithostatic pressure of the mantle would immediately melt the solid part of the core. This would leave nothing but a ball of molten iron and nickel for the crust of the earth to come crashing and splashing down into. Any part of the ocean not boiled into the atmosphere would mix into the melting portions of the crust, further lowering the melting points of all of the constituent rock that makes it up. The entire solid crust would likely be melted into the core, and the geologic processes of early Earth would start all over again; only this time, the planet would be significantly smaller. Over time, denser materials would differentiate and sink to the center, just as in ancient Earth history. However, this time there would be substantially less mass, and therefore less lithostatic pressure to create a solid core. The core would probably remain completely molten. The outer materials would eventually solidify to create a new basaltic crust similar to the new ocean floor being generated in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Also, due to the loss of a convective mantle, Earth's magnetic field would likely be completely dissipated. That would not matter, however, as all life on Earth would have been extinguished very quickly. The gravitational effects of the loss of mass would cause the pull of the Sun to weaken, as would the Earth's pull on the moon. One could perform a back of the envelope calculation to determine the effects of this on the orbits of the earth and moon, but I am far too lazy to do that right now.
Why do puddles of water on the floor disappear after some time?
Because water evaporates into the atmosphere. It can also seep through porous materials or soil or leak through cracks on the floor.Some birds and small animals drink water from puddles.
What would happen if one square mile of water suddenly vanished from the center of the Pacific Ocean right down to the ocean floor?
I’m not a physicist but here is my best guess:(This assumes the void created by the water was full of air. If it was a vacuum, I think the results would be even more dramatic).Water immediately surrounding the void would immediately start moving inwards, fastest at the bottom, expelling the air into the sky.As the water collided in the middle, I think a huge column of water would also shoot up into the sky and the sea level immediately around would rise up.After a few minutes most of the air would have gone and the water column would fall back down but the sea-level in the area around the hole would now be a bit lower. Say the sea was 2 miles deep when the void occurred. Then the level might be on average 5% less (about 260 feet lower on average) over a circular area of 5 miles in diameter soon after the void collapse.This depression in the sea level would start to create an oscillation causing the sea level to rise and fall repeatedly sending out big waves in all directions.The waves would spread out from the initial point as a tsunami. I’m not sure how much energy would be in this tsunami compared to the natural ones caused by earthquakes under the sea floor. The energy would be similar to the potential energy of 2 cubic miles of sea water.Eventually the sea in the area would calm down and the overall sea-level on the planet would be imperceptibly lower.The lasting impacts would be:damage to coastlines if the waves were powerful enough to reach them,death and injury to fish and sea life in the area of the ‘implosion’,and probably also changes on the sea floor where rapid water movements and changes in pressures might distort the sea bed or move rocks and sand around.
HELP! I dropped my betta fish on the floor ):?
Omg please someone help me! I wasvacumming my room and then I accidently knocked over my light and that hit my fish tank and water including my fish fell from a pretty high distance >< im scared pls someone help me, it fell from my desk to my floor and my floor is like granite! I think he got hurt on the top of his head too, it's pink and not like it was before, he's also swimming sideways, i tried giving him food but he wouldn't want it either. I quickly found him and got him in a cup of water in about 45 seconds after the fall. Right now im leaving him alone to rest but im scared! I don't want him to die pls help me. what do i do? will he be able to survive? should i just take his pain away (you know what i mean )): i hope PLEASE
