The minerals from above ground can cause cycles. This is very important.

Do rocks with small crytals form underground or above ground?
Rocks with small crystals form above ground, because when formed under ground the magma makes the rock cool slower causing more time for the crystals to grow. Above ground the rock cools faster, because the air isn't as hot under ground than above ground.
Why did the first miners in the Colorado mountains not find any minerals?
The minerals were to deep in the ground
How egneous rocks are formed?
Igneous rocks are types of rocks that are formed by fire. They can be formed in the ground from magma that gets trapped in air pockets. Above ground they can form when lava cools along the ground.
What is the most common form of minerals?
Minerals form into crystals or clusters of crystals. In the crust, the most common individual mineral is quartz, and the most common class of minerals are the silicate minerals.
When people remove minerals from the ground it is called?
mining
How do evaporate minerals form?
The water contains minerals when it rains and leaves the minerals on the ground when its evaporated
Where you find lodestone?

Where do you find lodestone?
you an find lodestone in the rivers, mines, minerals and above the ground
Does lava form under ground or above ground?
under ground
In what way will crystals be different from the crystals formed when lava solidifies above ground?
minerals
Where did minerals came from?
minerals form in the ground possibly when force is applied (ex. i think crushing coal will give you diamonds)

How do humans affect the arctic tundra?
it is affected by people using it for oil and minerals form the ground.
What causes stalactites and stalagmites to form?
Precipitation of calcium carbonate as its crystalline form, calcite, extracted from the limestone above the cave by solution in naturally slightly acid ground-water.
How do porphyrytic rocks form?
they form by the igneous rock cooling both under and above the ground
What are circular depressions that form when magma empties and the ground above sinks?
it is caldera
Why do large particles form on Intrusive rocks?
Intrusive rocks are formed below the ground in a magma chamber. Being that the chamber is underground, it takes a long time to cool. This allows the rock forming minerals to "grow" to their size. On the other hand, lava (which is what magma is called when it is above ground and is deemed extrusive) will cool much faster when expose to the air. Therefore, minerals do not have the time to "grow" to a large size.
