The fall of meteorites to the Earth's surface is part of the continuing process of accretion of the Earth from the dust and rock of space. When these rock fragments come close enough to the Earth to be attracted by its gravity they may fall to the Earth to become part of it.
Vulcanized Rubber. Vulcanized rubber is a material that undergoes a chemical process known as vulcanization. This process involves mixing natural rubber with additives such as sulfur and other curatives.Vulcanization makes rubber much stronger, more flexible, and more resistant to heat and other environmental conditions.ulcanized rubber is also more rigid than non-vulcanized rubber, so it is more stretch-resistant in the first place. However, vulcanized rubber has the same elasticity level as non-vulcanized rubber.
1 Carbon disulfide, a compound of sulfur, can be used to make cellophane and rayon (a material used in clothes). 2  Sulfur is used to vulcanize rubber. 3  Vulcanization makes rubber tougher. 4  It ensures that rubber maintains its shape. 5  Car tires, shoe soles, hoses and ice hockey pucks are all made from vulcanized rubber.
