RespectedSir/s,
CULTURAL QA 12-2023-06
Q1 How much more silveris there on Earth than gold?
A1:Silveris much more commonly found on Earth than gold, platinum or palladium,
which isone of the reasons its price is lower than these precious metals. It is
estimated that 1.74 million metric tons of silver hasbeen discovered to date,
but the amount of silver in the world is certainly farhigher, with reserves
still waiting to be discovered and mined.
Geologiststoday believe SILVERisaround 19 times more abundant than GOLD in
the earth'scrust, but modern silver mine output worldwide is only8 times
greater than gold's by weight each year. It is estimated that 90% of all gold
ever minedthroughout history is still in circulation.This makes gold very rare
when compared to silver. Additionally, gold recovered from a
400-year-oldshipwreck is as shiny and bright as the dayit went into the sea.
Silver from the same shipwreck will be an ugly tarnished and fused lump of
badly corroded metal.Peoplewho purchase bullion know that 20 years after their
purchase of the gold itwill be gold,while the silver will be oxidized making
any attemptto melt the metal for jewellery making or electronics manufacturing
may resultin low quality silver. It may be solow quality that it can’t be used.
There are historical and modern reasons:
· Gold is non-reactive with otherchemicals so it retains its colour. Yet
silver blackens, which has undesiredeffects.
· Gold has a unique colour unlike othermetals do. So people are fond of
it and this has created more demand for it.
· Gold is rarer than silver andthis is the main reason. When there is
less supply of something and higherdemand on it, then the price will be higher.
· Also because there are a lot more silver than goldon earth. On average,
silver exists at a 19:1 ratio versus gold in the Earth’scrust.
· Silver has a huge number of industrial,commercial and medical uses. The
lower price, and reduced scarcity, mean thatthe reclamation rate of silver is
less than that of other precious metals;unlike gold – the majority of which is
constantly recycled – large quantitiesof silver are lost through use.
· Silver mining is more often undertaken as asecondary yield as part of
other mining operations, rather than the primarygoal. Silver has been mined for
thousands of years and, as such, huge amountsof this precious metal are now
above ground.
Q2: Why are Navy uniforms white?
A2: There are numerous justifications for the Navy's use of whiteuniforms.
· Cottonwas a commonly used material for making clothes that were white
in colour inancient times. Additionally, navy is one of the oldest global
professions. As aresult, the marines' clothing colour also became white.
· Moreover, white is not a colour in the palette. The white colour
iscreated by combining seven colours, and the white uniform denotes the
blendingof the seven seas. Actually, the colour white is a combination of
rainbow hues.
· Thirdly,the ships are not immune to electrical power outages,
blackouts, or distresscalls. As to provide search and rescue, white uniforms
help in identification.The white uniform is clearly distinguishable in the dark
and is seen from adistance against the blue backdrop of the sea in the light.
· The colour white is an excellent heat reflector and keeps off thesun's
wrath. Darker clothing typically absorbs more heat. The white Indian
Navyuniform is still cool while the ships travel in the heat.
· Lastly,health and hygiene are given top priority when travelling by
sea. This goal isachievable through white uniform; dust, even a small stain,
and all radiationare reflected by white. The wearing of white encourages good
health.
· In olden days, seafarers travelled to different countries toexplore the
world. Theyachieved this as messengers of peace. White colour symbolises peace.
