It is because homemade pyrite cools within a few second, not giving it enough time to for crystals, unlike natural pyrite, which had years to cool underground giving it enough time to form crystals
It's only an experiment if 2 or more conditions are compared. Lava in a cup is a science observation or demonstration. To make it an experiment, you would have to compare 2 conditions, for example lava cups with salt vs. lava cups with baking soda while keeping all other variables constant.
Magma is not plasma since plasma is neither solid ,liquid or gas while magma is always solid when cool and liquid when hot.
You should use something with a low density like foam...
Good question! According to Dana's Manual of Mineral Science (the Bible of minerals, in a way) a mineral must be solid. So, lava, which is not solid, is not a mineral. Once lava hardens into a solid, it becomes a rock made of different types of minerals.
natural fibres are like 1st hand things (i know doesn't make sense, i know)... natural fibres like wool come straight of a sheep coat or linen comes from a specific plant... manufactured fibres are like materials made out of a natural fibre like acrylic which is made from wool...they are like 2nd hand things... hope this makes sense _______________________________________________________________ Natural Fibres come from plants, animals and minerals. Manufactured Fibres come from scientific processes and can't be found in nature. (Man-Made)
To make a homemade lava lamp, you will need a clear bottle or container, water, vegetable oil, effervescent tablets (like Alka-Seltzer), food coloring, and a flashlight or small lamp. The variables you can experiment with include the ratio of water to oil, the amount of food coloring, the size of the container, and the rate of effervescent tablet dissolution to observe different lava lamp effects.
Definitely pyrite for one
The phenomenon is called lava tube formation, where molten lava flows through a natural tunnel-like structure underground. Lava travels through these tubes, allowing it to move further away from the volcanic vent.
A pyrite mineral feels pricky, it is also rather shiny, not dull.
Pyrite is often called "fool's gold," because it has a somewhat gold-like appearance.
If you mean pyrite or gold- gold is soft- pyrite is brittle. Gold melts easily- pyrite does not. Acid dissolves pyrite, but not gold. Finally- you may have heard "All that glitters is not gold". It SHOULD be "NOTHING that glitters is gold." Natural gold may be shiny, but does not glitter- like pyrites will.
Pyrite
Silver pyrite is not a naturally occurring mineral. Pyrite itself is often referred to as "fool's gold" due to its metallic luster and brassy color, but it does not contain silver. Silver minerals like acanthite or native silver can be found in nature, but they are different from pyrite.
Oh, dude, the conclusion of a homemade lava lamp experiment is basically just the final part where you're like, "Yep, that's it, the end." It's when you see all the cool bubbles and colors swirling around, and you're like, "Yeah, science, you did your thing." So, like, it's the grand finale of your DIY lava lamp show.
It smells like Iron Disulphide or FeS2....
No. Despite its metallic luster, pyrite is actually a sulfide mineral.
Yes, pyrite does form cubic crystals. Pyrite can form different types of crystals, including, cuboid crystals, raspberry-like framboids, T-shaped crystals, and dodecahedral crystals.
