The water level in a glass decreases 0.4 cm each hour due to evaporation. At the beginning of the experiment, the water level is 12.6 cm. Let x represent time, in hours, elapsed since the beginning of the experiment and let y represent the water level, in centimeters.

Part A

Construct a linear function, using x and y from above, that determines the water level at a given time, in hours, after the experiment begins.

Part B

How many hours does it take for all of the water to evaporate?

Part A

12.6 - 0.4x = y

Part B

x = 31.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Part B

12.6 ÷ 0.4 = 31.5 hours

large crystals result from very slow cooling.

evaporation of water: this would produce an evaporite which is a sedimentary rock. like a salt pan in a desert. not possible to have volcanic rocks originate this way.

crystalization in molten earth: slow cooling over time. (hundreds to millions of years)

crystalization at earth's surface: this results in fast cooling. (a few hours to a few months or years)

crystalization from cooling off hot water: that would be a hydrothermal deposit. while associated with volcanics they are not volcanic rocks themselves and usually occur fairly rapidly.
