Which process describes how different minerals form at different rates?
Fractional Crystallization
How does fractional crystallization lead to magmatic differentiation?
As a magma crystallizes it undergoes fractional crystallization in which mafic minerals crystallize first and felsic minerals crystallize last. Therefore, as fractional crystallization occurs the magma becomes increasingly less mafic and increasingly more felsic. The viscosity also increases as a magma becomes more felsic.
What igneous rock may be formed by fractional crystallization of olivine and pyroxene?
ultramafic
What type of rock may be formed by fractional crystallization of olivine and pyroxene.?
Peridotite.
How would you separate water and sugar?
simply by crystallization of sugar or by fractional distillation
How does fractional crystallization help in removing the impurities from a solid substance?
The impurities grab on to the growing crystals
What is the method of separating mixture of nitre and common salt?
A method of separation may be the fractional crystallization.
What are the application of fractional crystallization?
A major one is purification of semiconductors to prepare them for making transistors and integrated circuits.
Can you use crystallization in a sentence?
Yes. You can definitely use crystallization in a sentence.
If a body of magma is subjected to fractional crystallization the magma that results is expectd to be?
More felsic than the source rock.
Can a single magma can produce several different igneous rocks having different mineral compositions?
Yes; through the process know as fractional crystallization, which changes the composition of the magma, therefore changing the minerals that eventually crystallize from it. Fractional crystallization occurs largely from the varying temperatures at which minerals crystallize.
What separation technique would you use for salt particles?
Crystallization (if there is a liquid as well, you would use evaporation and crystallization) :)
