  1. But, officially. Scienctifically, would it be considered an aquifer?
  2. OK, We have been studying sediments and soil. More specifically, the percolation and absorption of soil. We looked at how different soils percolated and absorbed water. Now, we are studying groundwater, water tables, and aquifers. So I understand what all that is and that an aquifer is either confined or unconfined. A confined aquifer is an aquifer that is surrounded by impermeable layers, or layers that the water cannot percolate through. An unconfined aquifer is an aquifer that has an impermeable layer at the bottom; and the sides? Anyway, it has no layer or a permeable layer of soil above it. Therefore, my question: If it rains on an impermeable layer (the layer is the top layer of soil) and the rainwater collects in a puddle (of an undetermined size) and sits there, is it an unconfined aquifer?
  3. I don't understand. What I meant is, is it coincidentally 1 (any unit) or does water have a density of 1 because when density was discovered, 1 (any unit) was water?
  4. In my opinion, I think that whoever votes is going to vote for their own sex. The people who vote Both the Same... This theory isn't working...
  5. So density is measured based on water being 1g/mL? interesting.
  6. Interesting. Water seems to have many unique and interesting properties. For intsance, it just so happens that its density (in liquid form) is 1. Its kind of odd that something so ordinary can be so interesting from a scientific standpoint.
  7. Are there any other forms of matter that have a less dense solid than the liquid?
  8. OHHHHH! I get it now. Thanks for the quick reply!
  9. The other day I was wondering, normally, matter in a solid form is more dense than that same matter in liquid or gas form. So why is it that water's solid form, ice, is less dense than water itself? Steam or water in the form of a gas is certainly not more dense than water. Or is it?
  10. Here is the tested and approved course by me for learning programming. I am still on the last stage by the way! 1. Some Sort of BASIC Language (ex. BASIC, QBASIC etc.) I used QBASIC along with Mallard's BASIC BASIC Tutorial. Know the main QBAISC commands in a week. It is that simple. 2. Visual Basic. I use Visual Basic 4.0 (I need an upgrade). Probably you would want 6.0 or .NET. VB is the Win32 version of QBASIC but not actually written by Bill Gates himself ;-) 3. C/C++ I am starting to learn C++. This is pretty much the last step but you might want to go onto Visual C++. You can dl a free C++ Compiler off Sourceforge or Bloddshed.org I think. Hope this course will help you. btw, On a side not, I was looking at a Sam's Publishing book in the store (I highly recommend yu use those to teach yourself VB and C) and they had a book just for learning Programming. It said to do BASIC, VB, Java, and then C++. Personally, I don't think you should do Java because most people say you don't need to know it but of course, it depends on what you are going to do.
  11. Cool. In response to first few posts, Plasma didn't have any use 20-25 years ago!!! So now there are six? Do we have any knowledge that there are more? If so, how many?
  12. I am not female! I just think that fafalone is an innocent nice forum member whom is made fun of.
  13. Where the H*ll did you get that? I didn't say that. Let me see if I have this right, I like (not love!!!) Faf, you hate me.
  14. You can tell by my new avatar!!! We Heart :worship:Fafalone:worship: Long Live :worship:Fafalone:worship:
  15. Oh. Let me check... Ah Ha! Check out this: QUESTION : Since Pluto's and Neptune's orbits cross over eachother, could they ever collide some day? ANSWER from Heidi Hammel on april 24, 1996 : Neptune and Pluto could never collide. A scientist in Texas, Renu Malhotra, has studied their orbits very carefully, and she has found that they are in a special configuration called a "resonance." This means that although their pathes do indeed cross, the two planets themselves will never be together at the same place in their orbits at the same time (which is what it would take for them to collide). So Pluto and Neptune are both safe from one another. DONE That answers both questions. Considered this post closed! (technically speaking) Also, I got that off a NASA site. Go here: http://passport.arc.nasa.gov/hst/QA/Neptune-Pluto_Orbits/Collision_of_Pluto_and_Neptune.1
  16. Sayanora: I know. That's why I started this post. I thought that because they cross, sooner or later, they would cross at the same time and collide. VM: Yes. For a short time, Neptune is the outer-most planet.
  17. He had to do that. He did that because his one mistake was going along with Bush. Then Britain hated him (as you show in your post). Yes I do want him. Even Rush Limbaugh is better than Bush. :jk: But Rush is pretty close to being better!
  18. Dudde: I couldn't post the other day (I got the message saying I was posting mre than once eveyr 30 seconds). I emailed blike and he rolled back my last post time. I then could post but because the forum time was now behind, When I posted after someone who had post after the current time (in the future so to speak) my new post would go before theirs. Then dave helped blike fix the forum with some SQL work and then I was able to post. Without dave, I would have had to wait till 6PM that night to post again. Who is this Sayanora3 character anyway?
  19. Sayanora3, YT, and blike: :offtopic: :lame: :ripped: :bs: :worship:Fafalone:worship:: Why aren't you posting! At least PM me!
  20. gene: I think you have to have a Yahoo! account. When you go to wolfson's link above, either click Register if you don't have a Yahoo! account or click sign in if you already have a Yahoo! account. I logge in with my Yahoo! ID and password and I was loged in.
