Do you know why salt is spilled when snow blocks roads?

Heavy snowfall has brought about a blockage of vehicle traffic. Roads are blocked, and maintenance companies have found the ideal solution. But do you know why salt is used to unlock snow roads? It is worth noting that salt causes the ice to melt. This is because when salt is added to ice, it is put into contact with the thin layer of water on the surface.

When ice and water are in contact, there is an exchange between two different states of water, liquid and solid. Some of the ice molecules break off and pass into water, and the opposite happens with water molecules. After the salt is melted in water, the number of water molecules adhering to the ice increases rapidly.

This contact lowers the melting temperature (point) below normal. Consequently, the ice in contact with the salt dissolves and thus creates another layer of water starting the cycle from the beginning. The more concentrated the salt, the lower the freezing temperature of the ice.

Do you know how the world was created?

The Indigenous people of Australia told a story of how everything on Earth was asleep. The Father of All Souls was the only one who had awakened and awakened Mother Sun. He commanded him to come down and give life to all forms of Earth, plants, insects, caves and everything else. The Father of All Souls was pleased with the work of Mother Sun. Later, this gave birth to two children, the Breakfast Star and the Moon. These were born children who would later become the offspring of mankind. The legend of Heliopolis This legend comes from ancient Egypt. He says that in the beginning, there was only one chaotic water called the Nun. The sun god Ra appeared from a lotus flower and gave light to the Universe. Ra created Shu, the god of the air, and Tefnut, the goddess of tame. These two gave birth to the goddess of heaven Nut and the god of Earth, Geb. From them the physical world took shape. The legend of the Maya In the Mayan culture, Tepe the creator and Gucumatzi, the feathered soul, cr...

This is the secret of the orientation of a traveling pigeon

Traveling pigeons have long served as long-distance secret messenger senders. Traveling pigeons were later replaced by other messaging tools, such as telex, telegram, and in the new era of telephone and internet. Pigeons have been sending messages, mostly messages written over very long distances, from one state to another. But how is it possible for a bird to know the correct orientation and find the address? The dove can fly without resting about 1000 km. It is not programmed like today's GPS through classic orientation. In whatever country you leave a pigeon it will still be reoriented to find the home, or just its owner. The main orientation of a pigeon is the sun, while its orientation becomes more difficult when there is no sun. Another important orientation is the magnetic fields. If you put a dove in a small iron and wooden lodge, the orientation will be easier when in the wooden house. It is assumed, according to some studies of American scientists, that the brain of a p...

Is the tattoo haram?

Answer: Praise be to Allah alone, praise and peace be upon Muhammad ... The tattoo is a permanent mark or drawing on the skin that is injected through the needles under the superficial layer of skin. Most often, "tattoo artists" use a hand machine that acts like a sewing machine, with one or more needles piercing the skin continuously. With each puncture, the needles release color. The health damages he can cause are many, such as allergic reactions, various skin infections and blood diseases, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, tetanus and HIV, the AIDS-causing virus (AIDS). However, even if it were not the cause of those diseases, the tattoo is haram because it changes and interferes with the creation of Allah, who gave man the most beautiful form. Although tattooing is a growing fad, it is a primitive act that people have done in ancient times, while Islam forbade it from this ugly and not flattering act (in my opinion), hence the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sall...
