you can melt sand in very high temperatures, mix it with certain minerals, then it will harden into glass.
Yes, glass is usually made from silica (silicon dioxide), which can be derived from quartz. When heated at high temperatures, silica melts and turns into a molten liquid that can then be molded into glass objects.
the lightning heats up the sand causing the silica in the sand to melt causing natural glassthese are called "fulgurites". and yes, this is awesome.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulgurite____________What happens in the above answer occurs when HEAT strikes sand, not lightning (although lightning has extreme heat, this is not the correct answer). Sand is considered "ground" if you are touching sand during a thunderstorm you are grounded.(: Hey!!
Kinda-sorta. Finely crushed glass will behave pretty much like sand. You won't get the same color though.
Yes, glass is made from a combination of sand, soda ash, and limestone. These raw materials are melted together at high temperatures to form glass. Sand is the major component, making up around 70-75% of the composition of most types of glass.
Silica sand is the most commonly used type to make glass. It is rich in silicon dioxide, which is the main ingredient needed to produce glass. The sand is melted down at high temperatures to create the glass material.
Glass is created from sand being melted by the sun, then after it melts it turns into glass. That is why there is glass on the beach because the sand turns into glass.
Sand is made into glass by adding several chemicals to help with color and strength of the glass. Then it is put under extremely high heat within a kiln. After it is liquefied, it is shaped.
I'd have to say it's fire because if you burn(fire) sand(ground)then it turns to glass which is delicate. in other words fire turns sand into glass which is easy to break.(true fact)
sand is mainly silica, the same stuff that turns into see through glass when subjected to very high temputures
When heated to high temperatures, sand melts and fuses together to form glass. The heat from the fire melts the sand, turning it into a molten liquid that can be shaped and molded. When the glass cools down, it solidifies into a transparent, hard material.
Sand typically turns into glass at temperatures around 1700°C to 2000°C, depending on the type of sand and the specific composition of the glass being produced. At these temperatures, the sand melts and fuses together to form a uniform, transparent material we know as glass.
Glass is made out of sand Glass is made of sand.
Sand and Glass
yes glass is made out of sand
All a mirrors are are pieces of glass with a silver background. Glass is generally comprised of silicon compounds (like sand) that are heated to high temperatures to a point where their crystalline structure changes and it turns into glass.
sand makes glass and glass make sand its a reverse psychology :)
You get sand, then you smelt the sand into glass. Simple as that.
