Sand's Glassy Transformation
Ever wonder what happens when sand gets REALLY hot? At 3,090 degrees, it doesn't just melt—it transforms into glass! 🔥 This meme is playing with the fact that silica (the main component of sand) undergoes this dramatic phase change at extreme temperatures. Mother Nature's own glassblowing studio! Next time you're at the beach, just remember you're walking on potential fancy wine glasses. Just need to crank up the heat... by about 3,000 degrees. Your beach sandcastle could technically be a glass castle in an alternate, much hotter universe!
