In which aspects do the nanotechnology improves enhanced oil recovery(EOR)?

Geography

Answer:

Nanotechnology helps to improve viscous fingering and the nano-particles can transmit through nanopores of sandstone which helps to increase the recovery by decreasing the surface tension between oil and water. The pore spaces are very fine so water molecules cannot penetrate through all of them in order to push the oil. This is why the nano-particles such as iron (Fe) and Silicon (Si) are used with distilled water. These particles can easily move through the interconnected pores and thereby pushes the oil to move out of it. It is a widely accepted concept in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).

Hi anyone able to explain fully about the continental-continental plate convergence ? I’m a little confused , thanks!!
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

1. Continental-continental convergence are both <em>continental crust</em> plates.

2. Buoyancy basically means these plates are light float on top of the Asthenosphere.

Explanation:

1. To go a little more into detail, this type of convergence ocurrs when two plates made of continental crust (not oceanic) collide. In the case of ocean-continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust sinks underneath the lighter continental crust.

In this scenario, we have two plates, neither of which want to sink, so instead of going down they just crumple and fold and keep colliding. This collision creates very high mountain ranges such as the Himalaya and usually doesn't contain any volcanic activity because no magma is capable of penetrating through so much crustal material.

2. As for why continental crust is buoyant and doesn't sink has much to do with its composition. Continental crust is made mostly of silicate material. This is very different from oceanic crust which is made of basaltic rocks and is therefore heavier. The term buoyancy refers to the 'floating action' of the continental crust on top of the uppermost mantle.

What stage of genocide is "Propaganda surfaces: “Armenians are siding with the Turkish enemy (Russia)”. Intermarrying is forbidd
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

This is the second stage of genocide.

Explanation:

Once the first stage went on well, the second stage was waiting for implementation. Now that there was a clear distinction between the Turkish and Armenians in the eyes of the public, the government started with propaganda, using symbolization to vilify the Armenians and to give reason to the Turkish population to dislike or hate them.

This was done by spreading propaganda that the Armenians in Turkey are siding with Russia. Russia has been the biggest Turkish enemy for several centuries, so this immediately caused fear, insecurity, panic, and aggressive behavior from the Turkish population. In order to stop the spreading of Russia's influence through the Armenians, intermarrying became forbidden.
