Burn the wood chips. Alternatively, shake them around for a little while, the granite is heavier and would settle to the bottom, so you could remove the wood from the top, this isn't 100% effective, but it's more effective than setting it on fire. This can be accomplished by shoveling the mixture into water (a wheelbarrow, a buck, some other large container). The chips float and can be skimmed off. The granite sinks and can be shoveled out later.

Explain how pieces of granite and slate could found in the same piece of conglomerate?

Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock that is composed of sever host rocks. These host rocks could be from very different environments, and from very far away. That is how you get two very different rocks within one conglomerate. the heat smelts them together


What type of weathering occurs to granite?

Granite is a very resilient type of rock and is not prone to much erosion. types of erosion that could occur to granite are acid rain, coastal erosion (weather and salt from the sea damaging it) and weather erosion. it would take an extremely long period of time for erosion to become apparent.


What igneous rock forms from granite?

Granite is already an igneous rock. If the granite simply melts and re-solidifies it will become granite again. If it melts and is erupted from a volcano, it will form rhyolite. If it melts and mixes with magma of a different composition, then it could form any number of igneous rocks.

What geologic processes are implied if granitic body of rock is found exposed at the surface?

Here are some things that may apply: 1) since granite is an intrusive igneous rock, the granite was not originally exposed at the ground surface, 2) since the granite was not originally exposed at the surface, there must have been a cause for its exposure, 3) the cause of the exposure could have been from uplift of the granite as material above was eroded, or 4) simple erosion of the material above the granite, 5) erosional factors could include river erosion, chemical weathering, glacial erosion, wind erosion, freeze-thaw cycles and other means, and finally, 6) the presence of granite is an indication that the site once experienced an intrusion of granitic magma from the melting of crustal material.

What method would you use to separate wood and brick pieces?

One method to separate wood and brick pieces is to manually sort and remove them by hand. Another method could be to use a magnetic separator to extract metal pieces from the mixture. Lastly, you could also use a flotation method where wood pieces float while brick pieces sink, allowing for separation.


What do I use my recipe calls for chocolate pieces do I use chocolate chips or bakers chocolate?

In cookie recipes, the recipe probably means semi-sweet chocolate chips. Bakers' chocolate, which is usually unsweetened, would be far too bitter. But you have a lot of choices, depending on the taste you want in your cookies. Semi-sweet chocolate chips tend to be the most popular, but you could choose chocolate mint chips, peanut butter, butterscotch, white chocolate chips or chocolate pieces of various sizes, from mini-chips to the larger "chunks."

How could physical properties be used to separate the parts of a salad?

Physical properties like density can be used to separate the parts of a salad. For example, using a centrifuge can separate liquid dressing from the solid ingredients based on their different densities. Another method could involve sieving to separate larger pieces of vegetables from smaller ones based on their size.

Can you substitute chocolate chips for baker squares when melting?

Chocolate chips have sugar and other ingredients in them. Bakers squares are usually just pure unsweetened chocolate. You could probably substitute but need to adjust sugar in your recepie.


How do you separate copper grains and aluminum grains?

You can separate them by their colors, copper having a pinkish tint and aluminum a gray tint. You could use your fingers or a pair of forceps to pick the pieces apart. If they are of different sizes, you could use a screened sieve to sort them.
