Steel beams have different grades but in general they melt around 2500F. J<span>et fuel burns at 800° to </span>1500°F<span>, not hot enough to melt steel. But the prolong exposure of steel beams to the high temperature fire from jet fuel weakened them. With the beams weakened, the buildings collapsed eventually.

When burning, Yes.

A normal fire in a steel-frame building can soften the structure to the point of collapse.


Building laws / regulations require that all the structural steelwork is either covered in a protective coating (such as intumescent paint) or boxed in with fire-resistant plaster, so the fire can be extinguished before the building is weakened - or at least give people time to get out.

If that coating or plaster is damaged by impact or an explosion, the steel is exposed and the building can collapse relatively quickly.

(The common intumescent coatings just look like paint until exposed to fire, so the steelwork may appear to have no particular protection - but it always does).

Information:

See the images below - small buildings with steel-frame roofs after fires; you can see the amount of "sagging" and distortion on structures that have no particularly high loads.
These have burned long enough to destroy any protection, or they did not have any as the structure does not support occupied space.

23. What connection does the author make between magma and its cooling rate?
disa [49]

Answer:

Option C:

The magma's cooling rate determines the size of crystals that are formed.

Explanation:

Once magma erupts from a volcano to the surface of the earth, it begins to cool because of the relatively cooler temperatures at the surface of the earth.

The magma usually cools down to form igneous rocks on the surface of the earth. The rate at which the magma cools down determines the size of the rock crystals that are formed.

If the magma cools slowly, there is enough time for crystal growth within the rock particles. This gives rise to larger rock crystals.

If the magma cools rapidly, there is little time for crystal growth. This leads to the presence of smaller rock crystals.

Explanation:

Debunking: In sociology, the term debunking was proposed by Peter Berger during 1963, and is referred to as the propensity of socio-logical consciousness.

Debunking represents the phenomenon that explains the sociological perspective in a way that it never takes a specific social world based on face value, in the absence of assuming the sociological perspective as it appears to be. Along with this, it offers judgment and nuances.

In the question above, the given statement signifies the process of debunking.
