Is a mineral formed from magma or lava or through evaporation or precipitation?
Minerals form from crystallization of magma or lava, when they cool inside the crust or on the Earth's surface. Other methods involve the evaporation and precipitation of minerals.
Is limestone a sedimentary rock made from shells of sea animals?
It can be formed in this way, or it can be formed from calcite precipitation (mineral formation from saturated solution).
Which mineral mostly forms through chemical precipitation?
Salt
What occurs when a soluble mineral receives water to precipitation causing it to weaken?
Hydrolysis
Are all mineral crystals are made of ions?
Yes mineral crystals are made of ion's
What are the results of acid precipitation?

What is mineral deposit?
Usually a precipitation of the mineral dissolved from its host rock by circulating hydrothermal or ground-water.
2 processes involving solutions that form a mineral?
Two processes involving solutions that form a mineral:- precipitation- dissolution

Hydrolysis
What is a sedimentary rock composed of the mineral calcite which comes from sea precipitation and animal shells?
Limestone.
What is mineral precipitation?
Dissolved minerals that precipitate out due to pH changes, temperature, pressure or simply evaporation
Rocks with large mineral grains are formed from what?
Their texture could be formed from slow-cooling magma, from mineral precipitation and crystallization in pockets or fractures, or from recrystallization during metamorphism.
What is a mineral called that is made up of one mineral?
It is an elemental mineral.
