What are geodes and how do they form with crystals inside?
Geodes are hollow rock formations that contain crystals inside. They form when minerals dissolved in water seep into cavities in rocks and slowly crystallize over time. The crystals grow inward from the cavity walls, creating the unique and beautiful structures found in geodes.
What causes a geode to be hollow or solid?
A geode starts out as basically a cavity or pocket in otherwise solid rock. The cavity walls grow inward as mineral crystals grow from solutions that seep into it. In time, the cavity may become completely infilled with mineral crystal. The geodes that are found on the surface are survivors of weathering which eroded the rock in which they were once emplaced. This is because the geodes are composed of minerals such as quartz which are more resistant to erosion than the rocks which originally surrounded them.
Interior walls are also known as?
Partition walls.
What type of frost action occurs when a water filled crack in a rock widens from the freezing and thawing of the water?
This is known as ice wedging. Water seeps into a crack in the rock, freezes and expands, exerting pressure on the walls of the crack and widening it. Over time, this process can cause the rock to break apart.
Is fjords caused erosion or deposition?
Fjords are typically formed by a combination of both erosion and deposition. Glaciers erode the landscape as they move, carving out deep valleys that are later filled with water as the glaciers retreat. Sediments and rocks carried by the glacier are deposited along the sides and bottom of the fjord, shaping its characteristic steep walls and floor.

What is a rock lined with mineral crystals?
A rock lined with mineral crystals is called a geode. Geodes are hollow rocks that contain a variety of different crystals inside, such as quartz, amethyst, or calcite. These crystals form inside the geode over time as mineral-rich water flows through and deposits minerals along the walls.

Why are foam filled cavity walls are better than air filled cavity walls in reducing heat loss?
Foam is a good insulator- this means that it traps still air and prevents heat travelling and being lost. Heat is lost more easily through the air in air-filled cavity walls as the air is not kept still.
Why the walls of houses often are filled with insulatio?
This is so heat (or AC air) will stay in.
Why are the walls of houses often filled with fiberglass?
I think it has something to do with maintaing the temperature in the home. Ventilation. Also, it prevents humidity from destroying the interior of walls.
Will refreezing meat affect the taste?
Yes it will cause Ice crystals to form on the cell walls of the meat, and degrade taste.
When were filled cavity walls a requirement of the building regulations?
after they realized that entire block walls would collapse in high winds when they didn't fill the cells around the window and door openings
Could the pool liner being stretched cause it to pull on the walls causing the walls to bow in three spots even though the pool looked level when it was filled?
Absolutely not. Only hydrostatic pressure caused by ground water can cause vinyl liner pool walls to bow. By keeping the pool filled to no less that two feet from the top, year round, can this be prevented.
How do you remove the gunnite surface from around a pool that has been filled in?
You have to remove the water or the land fill in order to work on the walls of the vessel.
What is bronchioles filled with?
Bronchioles are approximately 1mm or less in diameter and their walls consist of ciliated cuboidal epithelium and a layer of smooth muscle.
What is the surface-facing cell walls of epidermal cells filled with to prevent water loss?
They are covered with keratin.It is a water proof protein.
