The asphalt expands, and the oils start to come out. The sun then shines off of the oils.
The main asphalt paving product is hot mix asphalt, in which asphalt cement is used to bind a mixture of stone, sand, and gravel.
the mantle is the part of earth that is hot like asphalt
Shimmer fabric has a satin like appearance to it. It is very shiny and sometimes can be sheer and look metallic.
because it absorbs the heat from the sun
Depending on its composition asphalt melts between 54-173°C. Roofing asphalt will tend to be higher as it is applied on a slope and must set up quickly. Sun baked asphalt can reach temperatures of 145 °C - hot enough to cause second degree burns.
The best crack filler for asphalt pavement is a hot pour rubberized sealant.
Don't
The best method for repairing cracks in asphalt surfaces using asphalt filling is to clean the crack thoroughly, apply a hot asphalt filler, and then compact the filler to ensure a strong and durable repair.
The heat during hot weather.
This phenomenon is due to a condition called atmospheric perturbation. Think of very a hot day. Images seem to shimmer, especially if you are looking across a hot surface, such as an asphalt road. This shimmering occurs because, between you and the object, hot air rises, creating movements in the air, and adjacent air currents of different temperatures give rise to something called refraction, meaning the light is bent somewhat. Because the currents are moving, waxing, and waning, the refraction (light bending) is constantly changing, and so we see an apparent shimmering of a stationary object. The same effect occurs when we look at stars. Adjacent air currents in the atmosphere give rise to variable refractions, and so from our perspective, the stars appear to shimmer, or twinkle as it is commonly called.
He was contemplating the shimmer of light on the water.
