Question: What process releases nitrogen gas into the atmosphere?

Answer: The nitrogen cycle takes place in the atmosphere, on land and in aquatic environments. The conversion of nitrogen can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. The last process, denitrification, is the part of the cycle that actually releases  nitrogen gas (N) back into the atmosphere.

Answer: The nitrogen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which nitrogen is converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among atmosphere, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. The majority of Earth's atmosphere (78%) is atmosphere nitrogen, making it the largest source of nitrogen. Denitrification is the reduction of nitrates back into nitrogen gas (N), and back into the atmosphere, completing the nitrogen cycle.

human activities. It is a reactant in the atmosphere, where it acts as an aerosol, decreasing air quality and clinging to water droplets, eventually resulting in nitric acid (HNO) that produces acid rain. Atmospheric ammonia and nitric acid also damage respiratory systems. The very high temperature of lightning naturally produces small amounts of NO, NH, and HNO, but high-temperature combustion has contributed to a 6- or 7-fold increase in the flux of NO to the atmosphere. Its production is a function of combustion temperature - the higher the temperature, the more NO is produced. Fossil fuel combustion is a primary

Denitrification is the reduction of nitrates back into nitrogen gas (N), completing the nitrogen cycle. This process is performed by bacterial species such as "Pseudomonas" and "Clostridium" in anaerobic conditions. They use the nitrate as an electron acceptor in the place of oxygen during respiration. These facultatively (meaning optionally) anaerobic bacteria can also live in aerobic conditions. Denitrification happens in anaerobic conditions e.g. waterlogged soils. The denitrifying bacteria use nitrates in the soil to carry out

The combustion of fossil fuels is a large human-initiated contributor to atmospheric nitrogen pollution. Atmospheric nitrogen reaches the ground by two different processes, the first being wet deposition such as rain or snow, and the second being dry deposition which is particles and gases found in the air. Atmospheric deposition (e.g., in the form of acid rain) can also affect nutrient concentration in water, especially in highly industrialized regions. Any factor that causes increased nutrient concentrations

Nitrogen fixation

Nitrogen fixation Nitrogen fixation is a process by which nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH) or related nitrogenous compounds. Atmospheric nitrogen, which is molecular dinitrogen (N), is relatively nonreactive and is metabolically useless to all but a few microorganisms. The fixation process converts N into ammonia, which is metabolized by most organisms. Nitrogen fixation is essential to life because fixed inorganic nitrogen compounds are required for the biosynthesis of all nitrogen-containing compounds. Therefore, as part of the nitrogen cycle, it is essential for agriculture and the manufacture of fertilizer. It is also, indirectly, relevant to the

Output: The process that releases nitrogen gas into the atmosphere is denitrification, which is the reduction of nitrates back into nitrogen gas (N) [2].

Michael Jordan and Elgin Baylor each have five 60-point games, while David Thompson and Carmelo Anthony have one each. It is important to note that this information may have changed since then, and there may be more players who have scored 60 points in a game in the NBA.


Question: When was the statue of zeus at olympia destroyed?

Answer: How the statue of Zeus at Olympia was destroyed is unknown, but there are many thoughts on how this could have happened. It was approximately destroyed around the 5th century AD, but earlier loss or damage is implied by Lucian of Samosata in the later 2nd century. According to the Byzantine historian Georgios Kedrenos, the statue of zeus at olympia was destroyed the great fire of the Palace of Lausus, in 475 AD. Alternatively, the statue perished along with the temple, which was severely damaged by fire in 425 AD.

Answer: The statue of Zeus at Olympia was destroyed in approximately the 5th century AD, though Lucian of Samosata implied it was in the later 2nd century. According to Byzantine historian Georgios Kedrenos, it was destroyed in the great fire of the Palace of Lausus in 475 AD. Alternatively, if it was destroyed along with the temple when the temple was severely damaged by fire, it was destroyed in 425 AD.

necessitated retiling the roof. The original floor, paved with large blocks of shell stone, was covered with water-resistant lime, which may have helped protect the statue's ivory against humidity. The Roman general Mummius dedicated twenty-one gilded shields after he sacked Corinth in 146 BCE; they were fixed at the metopes of the eastern front side and the eastern half of the south side. In CE 426, Theodosius II ordered the destruction of the sanctuary during the Persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire. Earthquakes in 522 and 551 devastated the ruins and left the Temple of Zeus partially buried.

But earlier loss or damage is implied by Lucian of Samosata in the later 2nd century, who referenced it "Timon": "they have laid hands on your person at Olympia, my lord High-Thunderer, and you had not the energy to wake the dogs or call in the neighbours; surely they might have come to the rescue and caught the fellows before they had finished packing up the loot."

Before this could happen, the emperor was assassinated in 41 AD; his death was supposedly foretold by the statue, which "suddenly uttered such a peal of laughter that the scaffolding collapsed and the workmen took to their heels." In 391 AD, the Roman emperor Theodosius I banned participation in pagan cults and closed the temples. The sanctuary at Olympia fell into disuse. The circumstances of the statue's eventual destruction are unknown.

The monument was partly restored during 1938(?)–1300. The temple survived until AD 390, when the Roman emperor Theodosius I silenced the oracle by destroying the temple and most of the statues and works of art to remove all traces of Paganism. There have been many attempts to find a scientific explanation for the

Output: The statue of Zeus at Olympia was destroyed in 426 AD during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire by the Roman emperor Theodosius II [1][2][3][4][5]. The temple housing the statue was also destroyed around the same time [1][2][3][4][5]. The statue was likely damaged or lost earlier, as referenced by Lucian of Samosata in the later 2nd century [2]. The circumstances of the statue's eventual destruction are unknown, but it is believed to have been carried off to Constantinople, where it was destroyed in a great fire [3]. The site of Olympia suffered heavy damage from a series of earthquakes and invading tribes, but the Olympic festival continued to be held until the last Olympiad in 393 AD, after which the Christian emperor Theodosius I implemented a ban [4][5].


Question: When did ragtime flourished in the united states?

Answer: The musical style ragtime, flourished and peaked popularity in the united states between 1895 and 1919. But in the early 1970s, there was a major ragtime revival.

Answer: In the United States, ragtime has flourished at different times, with numerous revivals having occurred since newer styles supplanted ragtime in the 1920s. Ragtime first flourished and reached peak popularity in the US between 1895 and 1919. By the start of the 20th century, it had become widely popular throughout North America, enjoyed by people of many different subcultures. Ragtime flourished again in the US in revivals in the 1940s and 1950s, followed by a major revival in the early 1970s.

start of the 20th century. Ragtime shared similarities with both blues and jazz, the two rival forms of African American music at the time. It was primarily piano-based, and could be performed by a single person (more like the blues) or by an entire orchestra (more like jazz). Scott Joplin was the most famous ragtime musician. Rag also shares strong similarities with German polka music, with the strong emphasis on beats 2 and 4. Both styles also rely upon 7th and 9th chords, resulting in a more sophisticated harmonic palette. From the Caribbean islands and other sources, Rag adopted strong

Ragtime

Ragtime Ragtime – also spelled rag-time or rag time – is a musical style that enjoyed its peak popularity between 1895 and 1918. Its cardinal trait is its syncopated or "ragged" rhythm. The style has its origins in African-American communities in cities such as St. Louis. Ernest Hogan (1865–1909) was a pioneer of ragtime and was the first composer to have his ragtime pieces (or "rags") published as sheet music, beginning with the song "La Pas Ma La" published in 1895. Hogan has been credited with coining the term "ragtime". The term is derived from his hometown "Shake Rag" in

In 1895, black entertainer Ernest Hogan composed two of the earliest sheet music rags, one of which ("All Coons Look Alike to Me") eventually sold a million copies. The other composition was called "La Pas Ma La," and it was also a hit. As black musician Tom Fletcher said, Hogan was the "first to put on paper the kind of rhythm that was being played by non-reading musicians." While the song's success helped introduce the country to ragtime rhythms, its use of racial slurs created a number of derogatory imitation tunes, known as

By the start of the 20th century, it became widely popular throughout North America and was listened and danced to, performed, and written by people of many different subcultures. A distinctly American musical style, ragtime may be considered a synthesis of African syncopation and European classical music, especially the marches made popular by John Philip Sousa. Some early piano rags are entitled marches, and "jig" and "rag" were used interchangeably in the mid-1890s. Ragtime was also

Chief among the novelty rag composers is Zez Confrey, whose "Kitten on the Keys" popularized the style in 1921. Ragtime also served as the roots for stride piano, a more improvisational piano style popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Elements of ragtime found their way into much of the American popular music of the early 20th century. It also played a central

Question: Where are the highest temperatures on earth recorded?

Answer: The highest temprature  on Earth is recorded by three different ways, by air, ground, and via satellite observation, with air being the most accurate. The highest ground and air temperature recorded on Earth was at Furnace Creek Ranch, California in the Death Valley desert. While, the highest temperature on Earth recorded via satellite was of Lut Desert, Iran.

Answer: The standard measuring conditions for temperature are in the air, 1.5 meters above the ground, and shielded from direct sunlight. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the highest registered air temperature on Earth was 56.7 °C (134.1 °F) in Furnace Creek Ranch, California, located in the Death Valley desert in the United States, on July 10, 1913, but the validity of this record is challenged. Other satellite measurements of ground temperature taken between 2003 and 2009 found a maximum temperature of 70.7 °C (159.3 °F), which was recorded in 2005 in the Lut Desert, Iran.

Highest temperature recorded on Earth

(201 °F) was allegedly recorded in Furnace Creek Ranch on July 15, 1972. Temperature measurements via satellite also tend to capture occurrence of higher records but, due to complications involving satellite's altitude loss (a side effect of atmospheric friction), these measurements are often considered less reliable than ground-positioned thermometers. The highest recorded temperature taken by a satellite is , which was measured in the Flaming Mountains of China in 2008. Other satellite measurements of ground temperature taken between 2003 and 2009, taken with the MODIS infrared spectroradiometer on the Aqua satellite, found a maximum temperature of 70.7 °C (159.3 °F),

In January 2012, the WMO decertified the 1922 record, citing persuasive evidence that it was a faulty reading recorded in error by an inexperienced observer. Temperatures measured directly on the ground may exceed air temperatures by 30 to 50 °C. The theoretical maximum possible ground surface temperature has been estimated to be between 90 and 100 °C (between 194 and 212 °F) for dry, darkish soils of low thermal conductivity. While there is no highest confirmed ground temperature, a reading of 93.9 °C

The next reliable measurement was made during the 1957 season at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica, yielding on May 11 and on September 17. A subsequent measurement of , on August 24,

such as Christopher C. Burt also claim that the 1913 Death Valley reading is "a myth", and is at least too high. This same conclusion has also been reached by historians Dr. Arnold Court and William Taylor Reid. If the 1913 record were to be decertified, the highest recorded air temperature on Earth would be , recorded both in Death Valley on June 20, 2013, and in Mitribah, Kuwait on July 21, 2016.

Question: When was america taken off the gold standard?

Answer: America was taken off the gold standard, but still allowed foreign governments to trade dollars for gold in 1933. In 1944, with the the Bretton Woods system, America started using the gold exchange standard. On 15 August 1971, the United States brought the Bretton Woods system to an end, ending the convertibility of the US dollar to gold.

Answer: The Gold Standard Act of the United States was passed in 1900 and established gold as the only standard for redeeming paper money, stopping bimetallism (which had allowed silver in exchange for gold). During the Great Depression, every major currency abandoned the gold standard. On April 19, 1933, the United States domestically abandoned the gold standard, but still allowed foreign governments to trade dollars for gold. The 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement led to the US adopting the gold exchange standard. On August 15, 1971, Nixon issued Executive Order 11615, which "closed the gold window", making the dollar inconvertible to gold directly, except on the open market.

Revaluing currencies was the main purpose of this plan. No official revaluation or redemption occurred. The dollar subsequently floated. In December 1971, the "Smithsonian Agreement" was reached. In this agreement, the dollar was devalued from $35 per troy ounce of gold to $38. Other countries' currencies appreciated. However, gold convertibility did not resume.

Commercial banks converted Federal Reserve Notes to gold in 1931, reducing its gold reserves and forcing a corresponding reduction in the amount of currency in circulation. This speculative attack created a panic in the U.S. banking system. Fearing imminent devaluation many depositors withdrew funds from U.S. banks. As bank runs grew, a reverse multiplier effect caused a contraction in the money supply. Additionally the New York Fed had loaned over $150 million in gold (over 240 tons) to European Central Banks.

This helped attract international investors who bought foreign assets with gold. Congress passed the Gold Reserve Act on 30 January 1934; the measure nationalized all gold by ordering Federal Reserve banks to turn over their supply to the U.S. Treasury. In return the banks received gold certificates to be used as reserves against deposits and Federal Reserve notes. The act also authorized the president to devalue the gold dollar. Under this authority the president, on 31 January 1934, changed the value

second devaluation the dollar was left to float. The $42.22 par value was made official in September 1973, long after it had been abandoned in practice. In October 1976, the government officially changed the definition of the dollar; references to gold were removed from statutes. From this point, the international monetary system was made of pure fiat money. An estimated total of 174,100 tonnes of gold have been mined in human history, according to GFMS as of 2012. This is roughly equivalent to 5.6 billion troy ounces or, in terms of volume, about , or a cube on a side.

Starting in the 1959–1969 administration of President Charles de Gaulle and continuing until 1970, France reduced its dollar reserves, exchanging them for gold at the official exchange rate, reducing US economic influence. This, along with the fiscal strain of federal expenditures for the Vietnam War and persistent balance of payments deficits, led U.S. President Richard Nixon to end international convertibility of the U.S. dollar to gold on August 15,

Question: What instrument do you blow into with a keyboard?

Answer: Mouth organs are a type of instrument that's played by blowing into a chamber or holes in the instrument, and blowing or sucking air to create a sound. Mouth organs are found all around the world and are known by multiple names and seen in different traditions. Some examples are the Melodica and the Claviola. The Melodica is a free-reed instrument similar to the pump organ and harmonica. It has a musical keyboard on top, and is played by blowing air through a mouthpiece attached to the instrument. The modern form of the instrument was invented by Hohner in the 1950s, though similar instruments have been known in Italy since the 19th century. The Claviola was designed in the 1960s, also by Hohner, and designer Ernst Zacharias. The instrument was produced for a few months in the 1990s before being discontinued. It's similar to a melodica, but worn like an accordion, the claviola has a set of piano keys on the right side that range 2½ octaves.

Answer: There are several instruments that you blow into with a keyboard. Invented by Hohner in the 1950s, the melodica is a free-reed instrument that is played by blowing air through a mouthpiece that fits into a hole in the side of the instrument. It has a musical keyboard on top. Similar to the melodica, the claviola, designed in the 1960s by Ernst Zacharias, has a set of piano keys on the right side and the left side has a set of pipes that range in length depending on the corresponding pitch.

Key (instrument)

a tuning machine or lug. On woodwind instruments such as a flute or saxophone, keys are finger operated levers used to open or close tone holes, thereby shortening or lengthening the resonating tube of the instrument. The keys on the keyboard of a pipe organ also open and close various valves, but the air flow is driven mechanically rather than lung powered, and the flow of air is directed through different pipes tuned for each note. The keys of an accordion direct the air flow from a manually operated bellows across various tuned vibrating reeds. On other keyboard instruments, a

Musical keyboard

Musical keyboard A musical keyboard is the set of adjacent depressible levers or keys on a musical instrument. Keyboards typically contain keys for playing the twelve notes of the Western musical scale, with a combination of larger, longer keys and smaller, shorter keys that repeats at the interval of an octave. Depressing a key on the keyboard makes the instrument produce sounds—either by mechanically striking a string or tine (acoustic and electric piano, clavichord), plucking a string (harpsichord), causing air to flow through a pipe organ, striking a bell (carillon), or, on electric and electronic keyboards, completing a circuit (Hammond

Melodica

Melodica The melodica, also known as the pianica, blow-organ, key harmonica, free-reed clarinet, face piano or melodyhorn, is a free-reed instrument similar to the pump organ and harmonica. It has a musical keyboard on top, and is played by blowing air through a mouthpiece that fits into a hole in the side of the instrument. Pressing a key opens a hole, allowing air to flow through a reed. The keyboard is usually two or three octaves long. Melodicas are small, light, and portable. They are popular in music education, especially in Asia. The modern form of the instrument was invented

Keyboard instrument A keyboard instrument is a musical instrument played using a keyboard, a row of levers which are pressed by the fingers. The most common of these are the piano, organ, and various electronic keyboards, including synthesizers and digital pianos. Other keyboard instruments include celestas, which are struck idiophones operated by a keyboard, and carillons, which are usually housed in bell towers or belfries of churches or municipal buildings. Today, the term "keyboard" often refers to keyboard-style synthesizers. Under the fingers of a sensitive performer, the keyboard may also be used to control dynamics, phrasing, shading, articulation, and other

with interchangeable bodies at different pitches. The recorder produces sound in the manner of a whistle or an organ flue pipe. In normal play, the player blows into the "windway" (B), a narrow channel in the "head joint", which directs a stream of air across a gap called the "window", at a sharp edge called the "labium" (C). The air stream alternately travels above and below the labium, exciting standing waves in the bore of the recorder, and producing sound waves that emanate away from the window. Feedback from the resonance of the tube regulates the pitch of the sound.

Output: The instrument that is blown into with a keyboard is the melodica.

Question: When was the first helicopter made and flown?

Answer: The first helicopter was created in 1861 by the French inventor, Gustave de Ponton d'Amécourt. However, his model never took flight. The Italian engineer, Enrico Forlanini, build an unmanned version of the helicopter in 1878 that rose to a height of 12 meters (39 feet), where it hovered for about 20 seconds after a vertical take-off. The first helicopter model to carry a pilot was in 1907. Two French brothers, Jacques and Louis Breguet, built the "Gyroplane No.1" sometime between 14 August and 29 September 1907. It lifted its pilot 2 ft into the air for about a minute. The Gyroplane No.1 proved to be extremely unsteady and required a man at each corner of the airframe to hold it steady. On 13 November 1907, another French inventor, Paul Cornu, designed and built the Cornu helicopter. It lifted its inventor off the ground and remained aloft for 20 seconds. Even though this flight did not surpass in height the flight of the Gyroplane No. 1, it was reported to be the first truly free flight with a pilot as it did not need to be held steady. Almost three decades later, German aviation pioneer and co-founder of the Focke-Wulf company, invented the Fw 61. This was the world's first practical transverse twin-rotor helicopter. It first flew on 26 June 1936 to more than 8,000 feet (2,400 m) at speeds of 120 miles per hour (190 km/h). A few years later, on 11 December 1951, turbine engines started being used in helicopters. This meant the helicopter could fly with a large amount of power and a low weight penalty.

Answer: There are a number of helicopters, including twin-rotor, turbine-powered, manned, and truly free helicopters. The first helicopter was made in 1861, while the first helicopter flew in 1878. The first manned helicopter was made and flown at a height of 2 ft for 1 minute in 1907, and the first truly free helicopter was made and flown with a pilot on 13 November 1907. The first transverse twin-rotor helicopter was made and successfully flown on 26 June 1936, and the first turbine-powered helicopter was made and flown on 11 December 1951.

when attempting take-off, due to dissymmetry of lift between the advancing and retreating blades. This major difficulty was resolved by Juan de la Cierva's introduction of the flapping hinge. In 1923, de la Cierva's first successful autogyro was flown in Spain by Lt. Gomez Spencer. In 1925 he brought his C.6 to Britain and demonstrated it to the Air Ministry at Farnborough, Hampshire. This machine had a four blade rotor with flapping hinges but relied upon conventional airplane controls for pitch, roll and yaw. It was based upon an Avro 504K fuselage, initial rotation of the rotor was achieved by

Wright brothers to pursue the dream of flight. In 1861, the word "helicopter" was coined by Gustave de Ponton d'Amécourt, a French inventor who demonstrated a small steam-powered model. While celebrated as an innovative use of a new metal, aluminum, the model never lifted off the ground. D'Amecourt's linguistic contribution would survive to eventually describe the vertical flight he had envisioned. Steam power was popular with other inventors as well. In 1878 the Italian Enrico Forlanini's unmanned vehicle, also powered by a steam engine, rose to a height of , where it hovered for some 20 seconds after a vertical

scientific knowledge increased and became more accepted, people continued to pursue the idea of vertical flight. In July 1754, Russian Mikhail Lomonosov had developed a small coaxial modeled after the Chinese top but powered by a wound-up spring device and demonstrated it to the Russian Academy of Sciences. It was powered by a spring, and was suggested as a method to lift meteorological instruments. In 1783, Christian de Launoy, and his mechanic, Bienvenu, used a coaxial version of the Chinese top in a model consisting of contrarotating turkey flight feathers as rotor blades, and in 1784, demonstrated it to the

a gasoline engine with box kites attached to a mast by cables for a rotor, but it never flew. In 1906, two French brothers, Jacques and Louis Breguet, began experimenting with airfoils for helicopters. In 1907, those experiments resulted in the "Gyroplane No.1", possibly as the earliest known example of a quadcopter. Although there is some uncertainty about the date, sometime between 14 August and 29 September 1907, the Gyroplane No. 1 lifted its pilot into the air about for a minute. The Gyroplane No. 1 proved to be extremely unsteady and required a man at each corner of the

airframe to hold it steady. For this reason, the flights of the Gyroplane No. 1 are considered to be the first manned flight of a helicopter, but not a free or untethered flight. That same year, fellow French inventor Paul Cornu designed and built a Cornu helicopter that used two counter-rotating rotors driven by a Antoinette engine. On 13 November 1907, it lifted its inventor to and remained aloft for 20 seconds. Even though this flight did not surpass the flight of the Gyroplane No. 1, it was reported to be the first truly free flight with a pilot. Cornu's
