What is the word used to describe the process of turning sand to glass?
There are many possible words, but perhaps vitrification would fit best.
What happens to the molecules of a compound when it changes state from a liquid to solid?
The molecules of the substance lose energy and usually assume a fixed lattice shape (which may be a crystalline form or an allotropic form, dependent on temperature and pressure). Some compounds such as glass (various silica compounds) can transition to an amorphous solid (non-crystalline phase) that can be fractured, but also may very slowly flow above a particular temperature (vitrification).
What does pyroplastic mean?
The term pyroplastic is not a dictionary word. But one use located for the term is in pottery making, to mean "the condition of a clay body in the kiln when heated to vitrification."The similar word pyroclastic refers to rock fragments formed in volcanic eruptions by explosive decompression of magma. The term pyroclastic cloud (aka nuée ardente) is used to decribe a superheated, fluid mass of rock and gas ejected from a volcanic vent.

What does author David Davenport write about vitrification and in what parts of the world is it known to have occurred?
He writes about vitrification in one ancient city in India. There is lack of agreement of the age of this city among the archaeological community. He writes that he discovered vitrification and an epicenter crater close to the village.
What is the meaning of vitrification in plant tissue culture?
Vitrification and Morphological Variations - Some shoots developed in vitro appear brittle, glassy and water-soaked; this is called vitrification or hyperhydracity.In many species, vitrification may be represented by symptoms not visible to the naked eye, e.g., poorly developed vascular bundles, abnormal wax quality, abnormal functioning stomata, etc. Vitrification is the consequence of culture conditions, and leads to losses of plantlets.It may be overcome by the following:(i) increased agar levels (Ca. 1 %),(ii) bottom cooling of culture vessels,(iii) addition of agar hydrolysates, and(iv) use of growth retardants.Morphological variants may arise during the multiplication state. Such variants occur, in most cases, at a frequency comparable to that in vivo. But in commercial ventures using meristem cultures, visual selection is practised to eliminate variants and maintain the homogeneity of plantlets produced.Many commercial enterprises, therefore, prefer to multiply shoots for only four or so cycles from an explant; after this, a fresh batch of cultures is initiated from field-tested plants.
What does refractory clay do during the ceramic process?
Sixth Stage: Vitrification and MaturityThe maturation of a clay body is a balance between the vitrification of the body to bring about hardness and durability, and so much vitrification that the ware begins to deform, slump, or even puddle on the kiln shelf. Vitrification is a gradual process during which the materials that melt most easily do so, dissolving and filling in the spaces between the more refractory particles. The melted materials promote further melting, as well as compacting and strengthening the clay body.It is also during this stage that mullite (aluminum silicate) is formed. These are long, needle-like crystals which acts as binders, knitting and strengthening the clay body even further.Please see related link for a complete explanation and all the stages!
The changing of a liquid into a glass is what?
Technically vitrification, though that word also has other meanings than specifically a liquid becoming a glass.
What is the procedure of Cryopreservation of gametes?
Vitrification is the preferred method for the cryopreservation of gametes. It involves freezing them quickly so that ice crystals do not form.

How do you make vitrified tiles?
Vitrified tiles, as the name may suggest, are made through the process of vitrification. This means that the tiles are baked at extremely high temperatures that cause the particles to melt and fuse into a vitreous surface.
What is plassma converter?
If you're talking about the garbage recycling machine, a plasma converter gassifies organic molecules, creating syngas, and turns inorganic molecules into glass, through vitrification, while the metals just melts into slag.
What are vetrified tiles?
Vitrified Tile is a tile is created by the Vitrification process. It is processed in ways that it has very low porosity (and water absorption) making it stain-resistant and strong.[1]Vitrified tile is an alternative to marble and granite flooring.

What is vitrification in clay?
Every store has a different policy on coupons. You need to read the terms of this offer and find out if free coupons are doubled too, which is not likely if the offer is advertized as doubling the value of the coupon.
