  2. Vitrified sand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitrified_sand

    Vitrified sand is sand that has been heated to a high enough temperature to undergo vitrification, which is the melting of the silicon dioxide or quartz that compose common sand. Vitrified sand is a type of natural glass, contrasted with manufactured glass in which soda ash or potash are added to lower the melting point. Pure quartz melts at ...

  3. Trinitite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinitite

    An estimated 4,300 gigajoules (4.3 × 10 19 erg) of heat energy went into forming the glass. As the temperature required to melt the sand into the observed glass form was about 1,470 °C (2,680 °F), this was estimated to have been the minimum temperature the sand was exposed to. [16]

  4. Galileo thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_thermometer

    A Galileo thermometer (or Galilean thermometer) is a thermometer made of a sealed glass cylinder containing a clear liquid and several glass vessels of varying density. The individual floats rise or fall in proportion to their respective density and the density of the surrounding liquid as the temperature changes.

  5. Glass transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_transition

    The glass transition of a liquid to a solid-like state may occur with either cooling or compression. [10] The transition comprises a smooth increase in the viscosity of a material by as much as 17 orders of magnitude within a temperature range of 500 K without any pronounced change in material structure. [11]

  6. Vitrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitrification

    Vitrification (from Latin vitrum ' glass ', via French vitrifier) is the full or partial transformation of a substance into a glass, [1] that is to say, a non-crystalline or amorphous solid. Glasses differ from liquids structurally and glasses possess a higher degree of connectivity with the same Hausdorff dimensionality of bonds as crystals ...

  7. Hourglass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hourglass

    An hourglass (or sandglass, sand timer, or sand clock) is a device used to measure the passage of time. It comprises two glass bulbs connected vertically by a narrow neck that allows a regulated flow of a substance (historically sand) from the upper bulb to the lower one due to gravity. Typically, the upper and lower bulbs are symmetric as they ...

  9. Volcanic glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_glass

    The change from supercooled liquid to glass occurs at a temperature called the glass transition temperature, which depends on both cooling rate and the amount of water dissolved in the magma. Magma rich in silica and poor in dissolved water is most easily cooled rapidly enough to form volcanic glass.
