The hexagonal (d = 4.29 g/cm 3) form of germanium dioxide is more soluble than the rutile (d = 6.27 g/cm 3) form and dissolves to form germanic acid, H 4 GeO 4, or Ge(OH) 4. [6] GeO 2 is only slightly soluble in acid but dissolves more readily in alkali to give germanates . [ 6 ]
F2 propagation (F2-skip) is the reflection of VHF signals off the F2 layer of the ionosphere. The phenomenon is rare compared to other forms of propagation (such as sporadic E propagation , or E-skip) but can reflect signals thousands of miles beyond their intended broadcast area, substantially farther than E-skip.
The test was first administered in 1997 and taken by 2,274 people. Initially the test was held only once a year. [1] In 2009, 180,000 people took the test. [2] The Korean government introduced a law in 2007 that required Chinese workers of Korean descent with no relatives in Korea to attain more than 200 points (out of 400) in the Business TOPIK (B-TOPIK) so they could be entered into a ...
Geophysics is applied to societal needs, such as mineral resources, mitigation of natural hazards and environmental protection. [4] In exploration geophysics , geophysical survey data are used to analyze potential petroleum reservoirs and mineral deposits, locate groundwater, find archaeological relics, determine the thickness of glaciers and ...
A geostationary orbit, also referred to as a geosynchronous equatorial orbit [a] (GEO), is a circular geosynchronous orbit 35,786 km (22,236 mi) in altitude above Earth's equator, 42,164 km (26,199 mi) in radius from Earth's center, and following the direction of Earth's rotation.

Topics of geopolitics include relations between the interests of international political actors focused within an area, a space, or a geographical element, relations which create a geopolitical system. [4] Critical geopolitics deconstructs classical geopolitical theories, by showing their political or ideological functions for great powers.
GEO600 is a gravitational wave detector located near Sarstedt, a town 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the south of Hanover, Germany.It is designed and operated by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and the Leibniz Universität Hannover, along with University of Glasgow, University of Birmingham and Cardiff University in the ...
