What is the main type of energy used to help convert metamorphic rocks into igneous rocks?
The melting and cooling of a metamorphic rock will allow it to turn into an Igneous rock.
Why are extrusive igneous rocks not coarse grained?
Because the rapid cooling does not allow much time for crystal growth.
Why are fossils so rare in igneous or highly metamorphosed rock?
Probably because both igneous and metamorphic rocks are formed by means other that don't allow for fossils to be preserved.For example, igneous rocks iare made of cooled magma and the only way a fossil would emerge would be through falling into the magma and not melting.

What is the specific test for each given carboxylic acid?
All the carboxylic acids produce the bubbles of carbon dioxide when their solutions are allow to react with sodium bicarbonate.
Which stone floats in water?
Pumice floats on water. It is because it is made out of lava which had bubbles left inside it. The bubbles has air trapped in it. These bubbles allow pumice to float on water.
Why didn't Hades fight Cronus from inside him?
While Hades was trapped inside Cronus, he was young, weak, and without a weapon. Cronus was terribly strong and would not allow for the children he swallowed to overcome him.
Why pumice is light weight?
It's due to its structure, which is essentially a solidified foam with numerous trapped gas bubbles making it less dense than any other rock type. Pumice is formed from rapidly solidifying felsic lavas. The rapid cooling does not allow time for the gas bubbles to escape before solidification occurs.
Which mattresses are cooler?
Latex mattresses are cooler because of their open cell structure. The cells are called pincore cells that will allow air to circulate better inside, thereby preventing trapped heat and moisture retention.
What is called when light is trapped?
Light travels at an extremely fast rate of 300000000m/s, it can be trapped only by a black hole as it does not allow light to escape through it.

Why do you put the cover slip at an angle when you make a wet-mount slide?
To prevent air bubbles from getting trapped under the cover slip
Why are extrusive igneous rocks not coarse grained?
Because the rapid cooling does not allow much time for crystal growth.
How do you capture and store the lightning?
You invent the device that does it. Although the electrical output is obviously huge when it occurs, the energy in the pulse drops down to nearly nothing in milliseconds. A lightning rod that fed into an electromagnetic field revolving inside a circular torus might allow the energy to be "trapped" inside the magnetic field and around inside there not physically touching anything, and then slowly retrieved. Good luck.
What does it mean to prick when your baking something?
It means to use a tool with sharp point(s), such as a toothpick or a fork, to poke very small holes all over the surface of the pastry. These holes allow steam to escape without causing bubbles inside the pastry.
Why does soap allow you to blow bubbles?
because soup filled with are makes surface tension which holds it all together
How do you store a old refrigerator?
Make sure the door is propped open to allow the air to circulate, otherwise the inside can get musty.In the old days people used to remove fridge doors when in storage or before junking them. This was because young kids might climb in them and get trapped inside. The doors used to have catches that could not be opened from the inside and there was a real danger of kids dying. Luckily that is not really a problem today.
