While excavating a tunnel under Mexico's Naica Mountain, silver miners were stunned to discover a cavern full of luminous, elongated underground crystals. Composed of the mineral gypsum, some of the crystals extended as far as thirty-six feet into the air. What accounted for these amazing mineral structures? Millions of years ago, volcanic eruptions released a large amount of mineral-rich water into the cave, now known as the Cave of Crystals. One of those minerals was anhydrite, which slowly changes into gypsum when exposed to water. Originally, the cave was too hot for this change to take place. Eventually, however, the temperature cooled to about 136°F, and gypsum crystals began to form. This process continued as the temperature and other conditions in the cave remained constant for thousands of years. What is the main idea of the passage?

Which excerpt from chapter 3 of the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde illustrates a character vs. character conflict? hosts loved to detain the dry lawyer, when the light-hearted and loose-tongued had already their foot on the threshold; they liked to sit a while in his unobtrusive company. the large handsome face of dr. jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes. “i do not care to hear more,” said he. “this is a matter i thought we had agreed to drop.” “my good utterson,” said the doctor, “this is very good of you, this is downright good of you, and i cannot find words to you in. i believe you fully; i would trust you before any man alive, ay, before myself.” but i do sincerely take a great, a very great interest in that young man; and if i am taken away, utterson, i wish you to promise me that you will bear with him and get his rights for him.”
