Answer:

E

Explanation:

Minerals form in all geologic environments and thus under a wide range of chemical and physical conditions, such as varying temperature and pressure. The four main categories of mineral formation are: (1) igneous, or magmatic, in which minerals crystallize from a melt, (2) sedimentary, in which minerals are the result of sedimentation, a process whose raw materials are particles from other rocks that have undergone weathering or erosion, (3) metamorphic, in which new minerals form at the expense of earlier ones owing to the effects of changing—usually increasing—temperature or pressure or both on some existing rock type, and (4) hydrothermal, in which minerals are chemically precipitated from hot solutions within Earth. The first three processes generally lead to varieties of rocks in which different mineral grains are closely intergrown in an interlocking fabric. Hydrothermal solutions, and even solutions at very low temperatures (e.g., groundwater), tend to follow fracture zones in rocks that may provide open spaces for the chemical precipitation of minerals from solution. It is from such open spaces, partially filled by minerals deposited from solutions, that most of the spectacular mineral specimens have been collected. If a mineral that is in the process of growth (as a result of precipitation) is allowed to develop in a free space, it will generally exhibit a well-developed crystal form, which adds to a specimen’s aesthetic beauty. Similarly, geodes, which are rounded, hollow, or partially hollow bodies commonly found in limestones, may contain well-formed crystals lining the central cavity. Geodes form as a result of mineral deposition from solutions such as groundwater.

Answer:

The answers are A,D, and E:

A. The slower the cooling, the larger the crystals. The faster the cooling, the smaller the crystals.

D. When a solution cools, elements and compounds leave the solution and crystallize as minerals.

E. Minerals formed from hot water solutions can form narrow channels in the surrounding rock.

Have a great day!

Issues such as aesthetics, morality, and religion can usually be resolved through empirical research.
lawyer [7]
Hello! I would say the correct answer here is B. False.

As these topics are highly debatable and have many different viewpoints varied by factors such as upbringing, location, and life experience, they cannot be entirely solved. Eliminating these issues and falling under one standard would represent a utopian and realistically unachievable world. Without the world’s diversity the whole world would be “in uniform” (one of my favorite phrases from The Great Gatsby) and the creativity and culture would cease to exist. So, since these issues are unable to be resolved, empirical research is not applicable in a solution to them.

I hope this helps! :)

Answer:

authoritarian

Explanation:

According to my research on different parenting styles , I can say that based on the information provided within the question it would be most accurate to characterize his teaching as authoritarian. This is a governing/parenting style that focuses on a way of governing/parenting that emphasized order and control over personal freedom and is usually all done by a single entity, individual or group.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
