Answer:

Cuz its almost always man-made

Explanation:

Believe it or not, glass is made from liquid sand. You can make glass by heating ordinary sand (which is mostly made of silicon dioxide) until it melts and turns into a liquid. You won't find that happening on your local beach: sand melts at an incredibly high temperature of 1700°C (3090°F) Although most people think of glass as a man-made material, it is found in many forms in the natural world. ... Scientists tell us that glass is a state of matter rather than a single material. Glass is created when molten material cools so rapidly that there is not enough time for a crystalline structure to form.

The Hawaiian Islands are associated with what type of volcanism? intraplate volcanism volcanism at a divergent plate boundary su

tangare [24]

The correct answer is - intraplate volcanism.

The Hawaiian Islands are volcanic islands, thus islands that have been created by volcanic activity. Unlike most of the volcanic islands, or most of the volcanoes, they are not related to any type of volcanism asociated with plate boundary. These islands are in fact associated with intraplate volcanism.

The intraplate volcanism, unlike the other volcanisms, appears inside the plate, not on the boundary of it. The other, more common name, used for this volcanism is hot spot volcanism. This type of volcanic activity appears on places where there's a hot spot, so even though the plate is on top of it, it manages to penetrate through it, and create volcanoes on the surface.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Condensation nuclei are important because they form the basic building blocks of clouds. The condensation nuclei are tiny particles on which water vapor molecules form to create the most basic elements of clouds.

Later, other water molecules continue grouping around the original condensation nuclei and get larger to form raindrops.
