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.

Crystals can form on rocks when water containing dissolved minerals seeps into the rock and then evaporates, leaving the minerals behind to crystallize. This process can happen over a long period of time, resulting in the growth of crystals on the rock's surface.
It is called oxidation when dissolved oxygen reacts with minerals that contain metals. This process can lead to the formation of rust or other oxidation products on the surface of the minerals.
Yes, molten rock material from which minerals can crystallize is called magma when it is below the Earth's surface. Once the molten rock material reaches the Earth's surface, it is referred to as lava.
A hydrothermal solution must contain dissolved earth minerals (which can include precious metals) to be considered as such. The hot water must be a brine solution in order to pick up minerals because pure water is a poor solvent of earth minerals.
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.
Hot springs often have dissolved minerals because the underground water they come into contact with travels through rocks and soil, picking up minerals along the way. When this heated water reaches the surface and emerges as a hot spring, it brings these dissolved minerals with it, contributing to the unique mineral content of the spring.
A solution is formed as individual molecules from the solid are surrounded by molecules of solvent and then diffusing away from the surface of the solid being dissolved.
Metamorphic * Foliated (bands or paralell layers) * Nonfoliated (unorganized layers) Igneous * Intrusive (formed beneath Earth's surface) * Extrusive (formed on Earth's surface) Sedimentary * Clastic (made up of broken pieces of rocks) * Organic (made up of remains of dead plants and animals) * Chemical (Minerals that are dissolved in a solution [when one mixture is dissolved into another])
A salt crystal garden is created by dissolving salt in hot water to create a supersaturated solution. When the solution cools, the salt will crystallize on a surface like a sponge or string dipped in the solution, forming a crystal garden. This process is a simple example of crystallization, where dissolved particles come together to form solid crystals as the solvent evaporates.
