evaporation
The composition of the minerals is not a factor that affects the size of mineral crystals formed in magma. The factors that do affect crystal size include cooling rate, amount of water present, and amount of pressure.
The main factor is time spent in cooling and solidifying. More time means larger crystals.

Yes, in fact that's how a lot of crystals are formed.

Minerals.
Yes, in fact that's how a lot of crystals are formed.
Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.
Yes, minerals are the building blocks of crystals. Crystals are solid materials formed by the repeating pattern of atoms or molecules in a mineral structure. The arrangement of these building blocks gives crystals their unique shape and characteristics.
Crystals formed from lava that solidifies above ground are typically smaller due to the faster cooling process, resulting in fine-grained rocks like basalt. Crystals formed underground from slower cooling have more time to grow and can develop larger sizes, leading to coarse-grained rocks like granite. The cooling rate affects crystal size and the overall texture of the rock.
On evaporation the crystals so formed are in the form of solid(in criss cross manner) and on crushing those crystals they become change into powder.
The crystals in a rock are often referred to as mineral crystals. They are formed as the molten rock cools and solidifies, allowing minerals to crystallize and grow within the rock. The size, shape, and arrangement of these crystals can provide clues about the rock's formation and history.
