"Crystallization" begins with the process of nucleation. During nucleation, a solution's solute molecules begin to bond together with one another. Though these bonds are usually disrupted by the solution itself, a critical size is sometimes reached in which enough molecules have bonded together to resist the solution's tendency to break them apart. At this point, the bonded molecules attract other solute molecules and a crystal is formed.

In what way will crystals be different from the crystals formed when lava solidifies above ground?
minerals
What effect does water temperature have on growing crystals?
If the temprature of water is increased the crystals would not be formed because they would be dissolved.
Are some crystal formed from minerals dissolved in liquids?
Yes, in fact that's how a lot of crystals are formed.
How do you test for the purity of crystals formed?
You test it by checking the melting point
Which is a factor that affects the size of a mineral crystals formed in magma?
evaporation
How do crystals change into diamonds?
Diamonds are formed in a crystalline structure from carbon. Not all crystals are formed from carbon; not all crystals are diamonds.
What do you do on a science fair about crystals?
you should talk about how crystals are formed and what type of crystals there are
Are some crystals are formed from minerals dissolved in liquids?
Yes, in fact that's how a lot of crystals are formed.
How are salt crystals made?
After the evaporation of water crystals are formed.
How are crystals formed and how does the rate effect the crystal?
Crystals that are formed below the surface are formed by the cooling of magma. Crystals above the surface are formed when a volcano erupts, and cools, again, above the surface. Crystals that are below the surface usually have a slower rate of cooling than those above the surface, causing bigger crystals because of the slower cooling:)
How are sea salt crystals made?
After the evaporation of water crystals are formed.
What is different from crystals underground than above?
Underground crystals are bigger where as crystals formed on the surface are smaller.
How would crystals formed early from magma be larger and better formed than those formed later?
The crystals formed early by magma would not be deficient of certain elements. Once these elements are used up, they are not available in the magma to form later crystals.
Formed by crystals and is inorganic?
A mineral.
Why do salt crystals have lots of salt?
Because these crystals are formed from sodium chloride.
Does tuff have crystals?
In some cases it does contain crystals that formed prior to the eruption.
What are forms of igneous rock?
Intrusive- Formed under the crust. Barley any Crystals. Extrusive- Formed out of the crust. More Crystals.
