Brittle materials, especially ceramics, are prone to fracture by sudden changes in temperature. A sudden change can cause rapid and unequal expansion or contraction that set up tensile stresses in the material causing it to break. For example, putting a drinking glass or glass bottle in boiling water will often result in it breaking.

What conclusion about glass and ceramics for us?
have a similarity in term of firing process which is in high temperature :)
What is the difference between ceramic and plastic?
Ceramics are made from clay while plastics are made from petroleum(oil). Ceramics are opaque while plastics can be made transparent, translucent or opaque.
Is ceramic conductive?
ceramic is a bad conductor of electricity, therefore it is an insulator.
What advantages do engineered ceramics offer?
High melting points and strength at high temperatures.
What are the chemical and physical properties of ceramics?
because it can be changed or combined with different things (temp. other chemicals ect.)

How does ceramics fit into heat and temperature?
Ceramics fits into heat and temperature in a way that the majority of ceramics have to be heated to gain the strength and durability as needed, and where there is heat there is temperature. Also because some ceramics are used for heat insulating for example the fire bricks or refractory bricks that are used to build kilns and fire places because they can with stand high temperatures while heating or firing.
What materials can withstand high temperature?
There are two non-metal materials that come to mind. Ceramics and diamond can withstand high temperatures.

Does temperature does temperature affect viscosity of magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
What is the difference between ceramic and plastic?
Ceramics are made from clay while plastics are made from petroleum(oil). Ceramics are opaque while plastics can be made transparent, translucent or opaque.
How does temperature affect viscosity magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
Does temperature affect viscosity of magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
How does high temperature affect volume?
High temperature makes the volume greater.
How temperature affect sublimation?
Sublimation is accelerated at high temperature.
How does water temperature affect gobstoppers?
At high temperature the solubility is increased.
