Best Answer

It depends on what the crystals are being made from. Ice is a crystal made up of water (hydrogen and oxygen) Quartz is a crystal made up of silica and oxygen Pyrite (fools gold) is a crystal made from iron and sulfur. Halite (salt) is a crystal made from Sodium ions and Chloride ions A crystal is any solid material whose atoms form in an orderly, pattern in all 3 directions (height, length and width)

Do rocks with small crytals form underground or above ground?

Rocks with small crystals form above ground, because when formed under ground the magma makes the rock cool slower causing more time for the crystals to grow. Above ground the rock cools faster, because the air isn't as hot under ground than above ground.


Is cream reversible or a irreversible?

No, it is not reversible as you can't get the ingredients to make the jelly back. Therefore it is an irreversible change. (first message on Answers.com.) This is what I thought originally as well; however, jelly is only a disolved into the water. It will change state to a solid when cooled, but, when heated, it will melt. If heated (slowly) the water will evaporate and leave the jelly crytals behind. Sort of like salty water. They might not look the same, but the water will return to its original state. Thus, jelly is a reversible change.


What makes crystals grow differently?

It depends on the salt in question. Table salt, sea salt, iodized salt and other 'salt' you normally consume are merely sodium chloride crytals (NaCl) arranged into a regular ionic cubic lattice with the Na+ and CL- ions arranged in alternating positions. However any alkali metal reacting with a halogen (chlorine, fourine bromine, iodine) will also form a salt. KCl (potassium chloride) is technically a salt, but is used in lethal injections to stop the heart.

Are LCD TV's better than Plasmas How do they compare?

I personally like LCD's better, but you may like the Plasma. The differences are pretty simple. The Plasma has pixels and no tubes to blow out, while the LCD use small crytals. This makes them use less power. I love anything that saves!
