Shining a flashlight on the surface of the crystal causes them to appear shiny or sparkly. Depending on the atoms involved in putting them together, they can bounce off the outside surface.

What type of stone contain some really big crystals?

Igneous rocks such as granite can contain large crystals due to slow cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface. This slow cooling allows for the formation of large mineral crystals such as feldspar, quartz, and mica. These crystals are typically visible to the naked eye and contribute to the distinctive appearance of granite.


What are extrusive and intrusive in properties of matter?

Extrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in small crystals or glassy texture. Intrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in larger crystals due to slower cooling. These differences in cooling rates affect the texture and appearance of the rocks.


Where are big crystals are made in volcano?

the magma chamber and then they erupted onto the surface, where the small crystals were formed.


Is an intrusive crystal bigger than an extrusive crystal?

Typically, intrusive crystals are larger than extrusive crystals because intrusive rocks cool slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing larger crystals to form, while extrusive rocks cool quickly at the surface, producing smaller crystals.


Which has smaller crystals basalt or granite?

Basalt typically has smaller crystals than granite. This is because basalt cools and solidifies quickly on the Earth’s surface, limiting crystal growth, while granite forms beneath the surface and has more time for larger crystals to develop.

What happens if you shine a flashlight on a mirror in a dark room?

The light from the flashlight reflects off the mirror and bounces back. This creates a bright spot of light on the opposite wall or surface. The mirror reflects the light without absorbing it, making the area feel brighter despite the flashlight only shining in one direction.


How can you prove that light travels very quickly?

To prove that light travels very quickly, first, you need a flashlight. Because a flashlight is giving off light into a focused circle, it is still light. If you turn on the flashlight, as soon as you hit the switch or button, the circle of light at the other end shining on something appears instantly. You cannot catch the light in motion towards the surface the light is being aimed onto, and because light travels so fast, that is why you cannot see the light between the flashlight and the light on a surface.


Why do salt crystals grow faster on pipe cleaners than on yarn?

Pipe cleaners have more surface area per unit length than yarn, allowing more salt crystals to begin to form, which then grow together giving the appearance that the salt crystals are growing faster.


On what surfaces does a clip on flashlight work?

Clip on flashlights work on pretty much any surface that has a shelf like appearance. This is because it needs something to clip on to. Surface should be between eighth inch to inch and a half for most models.


What is different from crystals underground than above?

Underground crystals are bigger where as crystals formed on the surface are smaller.

If you shine a flashlight at a mirror what does it prove?

When you shine a flashlight at a mirror it proves that you are able to turn the flashlight on. The reflection of that light can be used to demonstrate some basic principles of optics, such as that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. It proves that the flashlight is in working order, that you are able to direct the light toward the mirror, that the light is reflected by the material at the back of the mirror, that the mirror itself is opaque, and that you have access to a mirror and a flashlight.


Do cirrus clouds form near or far from earths surface?

Cirrus clouds form far above the Earth's surface, typically at altitudes above 20,000 feet. They are thin and wispy in appearance and are composed of ice crystals.


What effect does surface texture have on growing crystals?

well if ur growing it on a rock or anything outside and natural tht surface will grow the crystals. n the crystals cud mold into the shape of the surface. other than tht, no effect


How are crystals formed and how does the rate effect the crystal?

Crystals that are formed below the surface are formed by the cooling of magma. Crystals above the surface are formed when a volcano erupts, and cools, again, above the surface. Crystals that are below the surface usually have a slower rate of cooling than those above the surface, causing bigger crystals because of the slower cooling:)

Intrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in larger crystals due to slower cooling.
