Igneous Textures Cooling rates influence igneous rock textures. Rapid cooling at the earth’s surface results in tiny mineral crystals that can only be seen under a microscope. The resulting extrusive igneous rocks have an aphanitic texture. Rocks that form as magma cools slowly underground (intrusive igneous rocks) develop phaneritic textures‚ in which individual mineral crystals can be seen without a microscope. Some igneous rocks exhibit visible crystals (phenocrysts) in a matrix of tiny

Beauty‚ a term once revered in ancient days as the pinnacle of physical attributes embodied in worldly entities‚ has seemingly in this day lost much of its meaning. Phrases like “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” have surprisingly become commonplace‚ and even Christians have begun to subscribe to the notion of aesthetic relativism.

The Effects of Cryptic versus Non-cryptic Eggs on Predation Rate of Ground-nesting Birds BSC2011L Title Determining the effect of cryptic‚ brown eggs versus non-cryptic‚ white eggs on the predation rate of ground-nesting bird species. Abstract Various interactions occur between organisms. Predation is a crucial interaction in which one species benefits by consuming another. I conducted this experiment to determine if crypsis affected the predation rate of eggs in ground-nesting birds. I hypothesized
