there r mny application of recrystallisation..........if u knw write d answer on dis page.....jst chillax....
It is just to increase the purity of crystals from the homogenous solutions of the dissolved crystals.

altered in size and/or geometry over time, yet the chemical composition remains
unchanged. An example is aragonite recrystallizing to calcite.

How does fractional crystallization lead to magmatic differentiation?
As a magma crystallizes it undergoes fractional crystallization in which mafic minerals crystallize first and felsic minerals crystallize last. Therefore, as fractional crystallization occurs the magma becomes increasingly less mafic and increasingly more felsic. The viscosity also increases as a magma becomes more felsic.
What type of rock may be formed by fractional crystallization of olivine and pyroxene.?
Peridotite.
How would you separate water and sugar?
simply by crystallization of sugar or by fractional distillation
What is the method of separating mixture of nitre and common salt?
A method of separation may be the fractional crystallization.
If a body of magma is subjected to fractional crystallization the magma that results is expectd to be?
More felsic than the source rock.
What do you use fractional crystallization for?
when do we use crystallization to separate components
Which process describes how different minerals form at different rates?
Fractional Crystallization

What type of rock may be formed by fractional crystallization of olivine and pyroxene.?
Peridotite.
What igneous rock may be formed by fractional crystallization of olivine and pyroxene?
ultramafic
How would you separate water and sugar?
simply by crystallization of sugar or by fractional distillation
How does fractional crystallization help in removing the impurities from a solid substance?
The impurities grab on to the growing crystals
What is the method of separating mixture of nitre and common salt?
A method of separation may be the fractional crystallization.
What are the application of fractional crystallization?
A major one is purification of semiconductors to prepare them for making transistors and integrated circuits.
If a body of magma is subjected to fractional crystallization the magma that results is expectd to be?
More felsic than the source rock.
Can a single magma can produce several different igneous rocks having different mineral compositions?
Yes; through the process know as fractional crystallization, which changes the composition of the magma, therefore changing the minerals that eventually crystallize from it. Fractional crystallization occurs largely from the varying temperatures at which minerals crystallize.
Why can minerals that form early in fractional crystallization grow distint?
They form more euhedral shapes because they are the first to crystallize, and don't have to compete for room.
