What are the different rates at which rocks cool?
Rocks cool at different rates due to how they were formed if they were formed intrusively or extrusively Examples of different igneous rocks that form differently is Granite and Gabbro form the same but different from Rhyolite.
Why does magma cool at different rates?
When Magma solidifies within the earth, it cools down very slowly because the rock surrounding the magma are also hot.
Why do substances contract when they cool?
Water. Ice expands.
Why do different liquids melt at different rates?
There are two issues: specific heat and thermal conductivity.Specific heat is a measure of how much heat it takes to make a temperature change in a substance. If liquid A has a smaller specific heat than liquid B, then A will experience a bigger temperature change on gaining or losing a given amount of heat energy. Water has a greater specific heat than most substances, so it takes a lot of heat to make a large temperature change (or, to think of it the other way, it has to lose a lot of heat to cool down). That would make it tend to cool more slowly than other substances (all other things being equal).Thermal conductivity is a measure of how fast heat is dispersed through a sample. If a substance has a high thermal conductivity, then heat moves quickly through the substance. Water also has a high thermal conductivity for a liquid, so as the edges of a sample of water (where it contacts the air or container) cool down, heat moves from the inside to the edges quickly. That would make it tend to cool more quickly than other substances (all other things being equal.)
Acid rain is cool How cool do you think it is?
Alot cooler than you.:P

What does it mean when a guy rates you?
Its short for "rates you highly". The Guy likes you. Most likely the way you look, but it could have to do with overall personality. If someone rates you and you think they are cool too then go for it.

Are geeks cool now?
Well, it depends on what you think. Different people have different tastes.

Are yu cool?
I like to think I'm cool because I hang out with cool people and I like learning about everything. A person's defintion of cool is different depending on their likes and dislikes.

What are the cool names for boys and girls?
you might not agree but I think a cool girls name is Kate or Jasmin but I'm not sure for a boys name I think Brandon but you may not agree.there are lots of cool names but this is my idea so you may like different ones than mine I am sure that there are lots of cool names for boys and girls but these are my favourite names and there are different cool names in the WORLD

Different people feel different feelings. So a giant panda may be different to different people!!
Why are silly bandz cool?
i don't know I'm a kid and i don't even think their cool but i think because their are a lot of different kinds like I <3 u and their mixed colors.
Can identical twins have separate heart rates?
Of course. Heart rate is dependent on activity and the need of an individual body to exchange blood and/or cool down. Even if the twins are performing the same activity their heart rates could be different.
