Geology Investigation: cooling of Salol due to pressure Aim To investigate the cooling rate of salol in relation to the pressure it is under, in an attempt to model similar conditions for a cooling igneous intrusion. Method In order to simulate the pressure exerted by the surrounding rock, I intend to look at the cooling salol underneath certain depths of water. The salol under the deeper water will naturally be under the greater pressure, while the salol under the least water will similarly be under the least. As such, I will first put 0.1ml salol onto a slide, cover it will a slide cover slip, and wrap it in cling film to stop water getting in. I will then put it under the water at different depths, and leave the salol to cool. After a certain period of time, when the crystals have formed, I will remove the slide from the water, remove the...
