Why is granite an intrusive igneous rock?
It is igneous because it crystallizes out of cooling magma. It is intrusive because it can only form deep below ground. The magma cools down very slowly when it is deep below ground and this allows the different minerals that make up granite to grow crystals to sizes big enough that you can see them with the naked eye. If it had cooled fast, like if it was at the surface, then the individual crystals making it up would be super tiny and the resulting rock could not be classified as granite.
Why does rapid cooling of a saturated solution produce small crystals and slow cooling produce big crystals?
When the liquid evaporates quickly, the solid crystals formed don't have enough time to arrange themselves into large crystals. On the other hand, when it evaporates slowly, the solid has lots of time so large crystals form. This can be demonstrated by dripping melted was onto a cold slide and a warm slide and examining them under a microscope.
Why do the roots grow down and the leaves grow up?
roots have more grip to hold on to the ground during storms..and roots soak water much more that leaves do..
What does a roots do for a plant?
it absorbs all the minerals and nutrients from the ground
How do you obtain big crystals of blue vitriol from its solutions?
Crystals in general are formed when solutions try to maintain concentrations at or below saturation. For example, a saturated sugar solution forms crystals when water from the solution evaporates and leaves excess sugar behind. Since supersaturation is a highly unstable and thus undesirable state of being for a solution, the dissolved sugar left behind will clump together at sites of nucleation to let the remaining solution remain below supersaturation. Crystals will continue to grow as long as the concentration of solutes in the solution can increase above saturation. To grow large blue vitriol crystals, one can simply prepare a saturated solution in a large container and let it sit undisturbed for as long as possible while evaporating steadily, removing the crystals when they are a satisfactory size or before the solution dries up entirely.
When crystals grow down from the ceiling of the cave what do we call them?
Stalactites grow down from the ceiling. Stalagmites grow up from the ground. A good way to remember is the ''c'' for ceilingin stalactite and the ''g'' for ground in stalagmite.
Do coconuts grow in the ground?
No, coconuts do not grow underground. They grow on palm trees, high up off the ground.
What year where crystals invented?
Crystals were not invented, they were simply found in the ground and someone gave them a name. They were different to what people would normally dig up from the ground because they were shiny.Hope that helped. that's what I think.
How do you beat the last boss on nova?
Blow up the red crystals under him with a rocket launcher/shotgun. to keep him from helaing destroy the crystals on the ground
How do mountains grow taller?
The ground heaps up.
Does blakpepper grow?
no, pepper is a ground up rock
What call is it when you get up from the ground in basketball?
it is an travle
Are stalactites found on the bottom of caves?
no, stalactites grow from the ceiling, like an iceicle. stalagmites grow from the ground and stand up. A way to remember it is stalactite has a "c" for ceiling and stalagmite has a "g" for ground no, stalactites grow from the ceiling, like an iceicle. stalagmites grow from the ground and stand up. A way to remember it is stalactite has a "c" for ceiling and stalagmite has a "g" for ground

Does a watermelon grow on a tree?
No, because melons have to grow on the ground considering the weight the melons will gain when they are at full growth. In other words, if melons were to grow on trees, they would end up falling in the middle of their growth because of the weight they gain throughout the process of growth.
What do you call oil that bubbles up from the ground?
Oil seepage..
Are snowflakes crystals?
no,they are called ice crystals because they look like crystals
