In most electrical systems you will find a hot wire, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. The ground wire is not strictly necessary for the operation of a device, but it is still an important feature. This wire is designed to provide a path for electrical current to travel if the normal paths aren’t available.
Q. When sediments are pressed together to form a sedimentary rock this process is called?
Explanation: Lithification is the processes where rock particles are compacted and cemented together from pressure to form sedimentary rock.

Q. What process holds sediments together in a sedimentary rock quizlet?
cementation
Q. What do we call the process when sediment is squeezed together as a result of weight and pressure from upper layers of sediment?
Sediments are squeezed together by the weight of overlying sediments on top of them. This is called compaction. Cemented, non-organic sediments become clastic rocks. Fluids fill in the spaces between the loose particles of sediment and crystallize to create a rock by cementation.
Q. What happens if ground wire is not connected?
If the ground is not connected (bonded) to the neutral, or the system ground is not properly grounded to the Earth, two bad conditions will exist: zero voltage will not have a ground reference, which can lead to irregular and inconvenient voltages that could have a negative effect on equipment, but more importantly.
Q. Can a ground wire shock you?
No, touching the ground wire will not shock you unless it is not properly bonded AND there is a faulty piece of equipment attached to it.
Q. Is it OK to leave ground wire exposed?
Grounding wires, especially on the exterior of your home through grounding rods are exposed. The grounding wires are safe to touch unless there is an electrical surge that causes electricity to flow through the grounding wire.
Q. Why is there power to my ground wire?
Stray voltage occurs when electricity “leaks” from the black wire directly to the white or ground wires before passing through the device to be powered. These leaks produce only small amounts of electricity. Direct contact between the white and black wires would “short” the system and blow a fuse or circuit breaker.
Q. Does the ground wire carry current?
Under normal circuit conditions, ground wire isn’t carrying any current. But when an electrical accident such as a short circuit occurs, the ground wire takes the unstable current away from your electrical system and sends it toward the ground. Ground wire is easily identified by its green casing.
Q. What color is a ground wire?
Green
Q. Why is there a neutral and a ground wire?
The neutral wire serves as a return path for electrical current while the ground wire provides a path for electrical current to earth. Since electricity flows from source to destination and back, each wire serves a specific need to ensure the loop is maintained.
Q. What happens if neutral is not grounded?
Q. Can you put neutral and ground on same bus bar?
The answer is never. Grounds and neutrals should only be connected at the last point of disconnect.
Q. Can I use ground instead of neutral?
a ground and a neutral are both wires. unless they’re tied together with other circuits, and not a ‘home run’ back to the panel, there is no difference between the two where they both end up on the same bus bar in the box.
