Recrystallization definition earth science

Geography
1 answer:
lukranit [14]3 years ago
5 0

Recrystallization is the process through which the preexisting crystals are destroyed, and later the material left of them crystallizes all over again and forms new crystal structures. Basically this process happens when a crystal structure is exposed to high temperatures and pressures, When that happens, the crystal structure falls apart, often being melted. After it is melted, the material will eventually start to cool off again. As it cools off, new crystals will start to form. What type of crystals will form will depend on the rate of cooling off, but also on the agent that destroyed the initial crystals, as it can mix with the material, gradually giving birth to a new crystal structure.

The apparent brightness of a star remains constant at most time, except that at precise intervals of 173 hours, the star becomes
natulia [17]

Answer:

The most likely explanation is that the star is a member of an eclipsing binary star system.

Explanation:

An eclipsing binary star system takes place when two stars which are close to each other move in an orbit in which sometimes, one star can hide the light behind the other.

There are two types of eclipses depending on the orientation of the orbit and the size of the stars: the totals or the annular ones. It may also be the case that the eclipses are partial.

<em>Algol </em>is the best known eclipsing binary star, and the first of this kind to be discovered. Its interval between eclipses is 173 hours (2.9 days).

When this type of eclipses happens, the brightest star provides 92% of the light of the system, while the eclipsed only contributes less than 8%, and there is a third star, which is not eclipsed.

Therefore, if there is any star that has been bright most of the time, and during certain time intervals it becomes dimmer, that star is being overshadowed.
