What makes a glass different from a solid such as quartz? Under what conditions could quartz be converted into glass?

(N/A) The arrangement of the constituent particles makes glass different from quartz. In glass,the constituent particles have short-range order,whereas in quartz,the constituent particles have both long-range and short-range orders.
Quartz can be converted into glass by heating it to a high temperature and then cooling it rapidly (quenching).
