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.
GTO is a highly elliptical Earth orbit with an apogee (the point in the orbit of the moon or a satellite at which it is furthest from the earth) of 42,164 km (26,199 mi), [3] or a height of 35,786 km (22,236 mi) above sea level, which corresponds to the geostationary altitude.
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.
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 ...
The Prizm's 1998 redesign coincided with the conversion of all remaining Geo models into Chevrolets, as General Motors made the decision to discontinue the Geo brand entirely after 1997. The most notable change was an all-new 1.8-liter engine known as the 1ZZ-FE , which powered all Corollas and Prizms, making this generation lighter than its ...

2010 estimates of the potential for electricity generation from geothermal energy vary sixfold, from 0.035 to 2 TW depending on the scale of investments. [4] Upper estimates of geothermal resources assume wells as deep as 10 kilometres (6 mi), although 20th century wells rarely reached more than 3 kilometres (2 mi) deep. [4]
