내용 이해
(1) How do minerals form through the cooling of magma? (마그마의 냉각을 통해 광물은 어떻게 형성되나요?)
(2) What factors determine the size of the crystals that form? (결정체의 크기를 결정하는 요인은 무엇인가요?)
(3) How does the cooling rate of magma affect the size of crystals formed? (마그마의 냉각 속도가 형성된 결정체의 크기에 어떤 영향을 미치나요?)
(4) What role do the elements present in magma play in mineral formation? (마그마에 존재하는 원소들이 광물 형성에서 어떤 역할을 하나요?)
(5) How do the atoms of different compounds arrange themselves during the mineral formation process? (광물 형성 과정에서 서로 다른 화합물의 원자들은 어떻게 배열되나요?)
* Suggested Answers
(1) Minerals form through the cooling of magma as atoms lose heat energy, move closer together, and combine into compounds.
(마그마의 냉각을 통해 원자들이 열 에너지를 잃고, 서로 가까워지며 화합물로 결합되면서 광물이 형성됩니다.)
(2) The size of the crystals that form depends partly on the cooling rate of the magma and the type and amount of elements present.
(결정체의 크기는 마그마의 냉각 속도와 존재하는 원소의 종류와 양에 부분적으로 의존합니다.)
(3) When magma cools slowly, larger crystals form as atoms have enough time to move together and combine, whereas rapid cooling results in smaller crystals.
(마그마가 천천히 냉각되면 원자들이 결합할 충분한 시간이 있어 더 큰 결정체가 형성되지만, 빠르게 냉각되면 작은 결정체가 형성됩니다.)
(4) The type and amount of elements present in magma partly determine which minerals will form during the cooling process.
(마그마에 존재하는 원소의 종류와 양은 냉각 과정에서 어떤 광물이 형성될지 부분적으로 결정합니다.)
(5) During the mineral formation process, atoms of different compounds arrange themselves into orderly, repeating patterns, creating the structure of the crystal.
(광물 형성 과정에서 서로 다른 화합물의 원자들은 질서 있는 반복 패턴으로 배열되어 결정체의 구조를 만듭니다.)
주요 문장
(1) "As magma cools, its atoms lose heat energy, move closer together, and begin to combine into compounds."
(마그마가 냉각되면서 원자들은 열 에너지를 잃고, 더 가까워지며 화합물로 결합하기 시작합니다.)
Grammatical explanation (English): The sentence uses a cause and effect structure ("As magma cools") to explain the process of mineral formation through the cooling of magma.
Semantic explanation: The sentence describes the initial process of mineral formation, including the behavior of atoms as magma cools.
(2) "The type and amount of elements present in a magma partly determine which minerals will form."
(마그마에 존재하는 원소의 종류와 양은 어떤 광물이 형성될지 부분적으로 결정합니다.)
Grammatical explanation (English): The sentence uses a subject-verb-object structure to explain the influence of elements present in magma on mineral formation.
Semantic explanation: The sentence highlights the importance of the elements in magma for determining the resulting minerals during the cooling process.

2. Questions and Answers
Question 1: How old is the Earth?
Around 4.5 billion years old
First formed as a hot, molten rock
Question 2: What is the Hadean or dark period?
A time in Earth's history, about the first 500 million years
Not much is known about it because there are no rocks or minerals to study
Question 3: What important discovery did Moises make in 2002?
Found the oldest mineral sample on Earth
A crystal of zircon
Question 4: How can zircon crystals help us learn about water?
Chemical analysis shows if they formed in the presence of water
Moises studied nearly 100,000 crystals to find clues
Question 5: How old is the oldest zircon crystal found, and what does it tell us?
4.38 billion years old
Earth had water on its surface when the crystal was formed
Question 6: What does it mean when the zircon crystal is said to be "one third of the age of the universe"?
It's extremely old, almost as old as the Earth itself
Helps us understand the early history of our planet
Question 7: What did the analysis of the 4.4 billion-year-old zircon crystal reveal?
It formed in liquid water
This means early Earth had water on its surface
Question 8: Why is the discovery of the zircon crystal so significant?
Provides evidence of water on early Earth
Helps fill in gaps in our understanding of Earth's history
Question 9: How does the age of the zircon crystal compare to the age of the Earth and the time when dinosaurs died out?
Zircon crystal is 4.38 billion years old, Earth is 4.5 billion years old
Dinosaurs died out much later, around 4 billion years after the crystal formed
Question 10: What does the zircon crystal's formation in liquid water suggest about the Earth's early environment?
Earth's surface was not dry
Water may have been present from the beginning, rather than delivered by comets
