How do pumice and basalt form?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Basalt forms when lava cools quickly at the surface. This quick cooling rate results in very small mineral grains. Pumice is formed when volcanoes erupt explosively. It comes from the same kind of magma which would form granite or rhyolite, that is, a magma that contains lots of silica (quartz). Magma with lots of silica is usually thick and sticky

In the winter, a heated home in the Northeast might be maintained at a temperature of 78°F. What is this temperature on the Cels
masya89 [10]

Answer:  25.6^0C,  298.6K

Explanation:

Temperature of the gas is defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. It is expressed in units like ^0C and K  

These units of temperature are inter convertible.

We are given:

Temperature of the gas = 78^0F

Converting this unit of temperature into ^0C by using conversion factor:

^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)

^0C=\frac{5}{9}\times (78^oF-32)

25.6^0C

Converting this unit of temperature into K by using conversion factor:

K=t^0C+273

K=25.6+273

298.6K

Thus the temperature on the Celsius and Kelvin scales are 25.6^0C  and 298.6K respectively.

You see a worm crawling along the ground and wonder if scientists consider it living or nonliving. Which item below would not be
lisov135 [29]

Answer: a. A worm can move so it must be living.

If a worm is moving it is classified as a moving worm also known to be living if moving.

A worm could reproduce therefore it is living.

Worms do pass dirt into and through there bodies to eat of the minerals and discarding things through and let out.

If you do cut a worm in half it may damage it but since it has basically two heads on girl one boy and cut in half it may split them up, and make damage but they will eventually grow back if the injuries are not severe.

Why does a candle relight if a match is held above the wick just after the flame is<br> blown out?
shutvik [7]

Answer with Explanation:

A candle relights when a match is held above the wick because its trail of smoke still contains some of the wax. When candles are burned, the heat of the flame turns the the wax (which is originally solid) into liquid (commonly near the wick) and then evaporates as gas. The vaporized wax actually protect the wick and this is the reason why it is not burned. So, when you put off a candle, the vaporized wax is still present near the wick. This, remember, holds heat and light energy. Thus, this explains why the candle can be relighted once you hold a match above the wick. It then allows the match to ignite.

Thus, this explains the answer.
