Minerals form as hot magma cools inside the crust, or as lava hardens on the surface. When these liquids cool to a solid state, they form crystals. When elements and compounds that are dissolved in water leave a solution, crystallization occurs.

Contrast the formation of minerals from magma and their formations from solution?
The formation of minerals from magma depends on how quickly the magma cools- if it cools slowly the crystals are bigger, slower= smaller crystals. The formation of minerals from solution depends on wether the solution becomes overfilled with a dissolved substance and gets supersaturated, then the individual atoms bond together and mineral crystal is formed from the solution.
Is magma a mixture or solution?
it is a mixture of liquid rock and gasses.
Where do quartz form?
ALL minerals form below the earth's crust from magma. They can then be uplifted to the surface. Quartz is one of the first to form out of the magma.
What minerals form from melted materials?
ALL minerals crystallise from molten materials. Magma consists of minerals. It is easy to believe that all magma is the same, but magmas are as different as rocks.
How are minerals formed in igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Minerals form in igneous rock as magma or lava cools. The minerals will form from the available chemicals in the magma as their crystallization temperature is reached. The sequence of mineral crystal formation from magma is described in the Bowen's Reaction Series. Metamorphic rock minerals are aligned, altered, or recrystallized from existing rock minerals due to the effects of heat and/or pressure.
How are mineral formed by crystallization from magma?
As magma cools, elements combine to form minerals.
Minerals that form from magma are formed by?
Several minerals form in slow cooling magma. Some of those minerals are quartz, plagioclase feldspar, and potassium feldspar. These are the same minerals that are found in granite.
How do minerals form from magma and lava?
well lava and magma are pretty much the same thing but the way minerals form from lava and magma is that when a volcano erupts the magma turns to lava and lava is just magma that cool-es faster because it is on the surface. anyway the way that minerals form is when the lava and minerals already form come together they form new minerals
How can rock minerals form?
Rock minerals form from lava, magma or solutions.
What are two ways in which minerals can form from a solution?
I know that one is a hot water solution.... Sorry I need the other too! If you find out update this and let me know! Minerals can form on the surface through evaporation of solutions containing dissolved minerals. Minerals can also form beneath the surface when dissolved elements and compounds leave a hot water solution or when magma cools and hardens.

Why do minerals have crystal shapes?
They have different developing sites. Restricted, open, magma, and minerals from solution.

The process of minerals formation from magma is called?
Crystallization is when minerals form from magma. Crystallization takes time.
