At the time of harvesting the moisture content in grains and seeds varies from 15-35%. Besides, grains have a tendency to absorb moisture from the atmosphere. If the moisture content is high, seeds are prone to be infested with pests and this in turn will decrease their quality. Hence moisture con..

Two important characteristics of the desert i.e., the scarcity of rainfall and high temperature determine the existence, distribution and adaptations of the animals of the desert. The characteristic animals of the desert are small herbivorous rodents, reptiles and inse..

We know that there is water vapour in air. In other words, air contains moisture and so it is wet. This quality of wetness is referred to as humidity. For our physical comfort, humidity should not be too high or too low. Usually when the atmospheric temperature is high, more evaporation of wa..

Raw dry rubber is heated with sulphur (5%-8% based on the requirement), zinc oxide (a filler, 5%) and accelerator (0.5% -1%) at 400-440K for about half an hour. As the sulphur quantity increases, the rubber becomes tougher. 50% sulphur gives ebonite (vulcanite) . An accelerator containi..

Biome is a large, regional or sub continental biosystem characterized by a major vegetation type or other distinct landscape characters such as tropical deciduous forest, tundra biome, etc. "The major terrestrial ecosystems (largest ecological units) of distinctive terrestrial a..
