Because of nickel's slow rate of oxidation at room temperature, it is considered corrosion-resistant. Historically, this has led to its use for plating metals such as iron and brass, coating chemistry equipment, and manufacturing certain alloys that retain a high silvery polish, such as German silver.

Earth is the medium for earthquake waves. Waves that can travel only through a medium are called mechanical waves. Most waves, including water waves, sound waves, and earthquake waves, are mechanical waves. Electromagnetic waves are the most common kind of nonmechanical waves.
