Yes. Through the process of recrystallization.
The crystals in granite, being intrusive in nature, will be larger than those in basalt, an extrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks have cooled slowly from magma, extrusive rocks have cooled quickly from magma. Crystals grow larger from slow cooling magma.
Igneous rocks that cooled slowly are intrusive. Igneous rocks that cooled quickly are extrusive. Intrusive rocks form larger crystals, because the crystals have a longer time to grow. Extrusive rocks have small to no crystals, because they had little or no time to grow/form.

An igneous rock's crystal size is dependent on how long it takes to cool from magma into a solid. Intrusive igneous rocks, the ones that solidify from magma underground, are slow to harden, giving crystals plenty of time to grow larger. Extrusive igneous rocks, formed from lava above ground, cool fairly rapidly, not allowing the crystals much time to grow in size.
It depends on the material. Ice is a crystal, so is diamond.
No, crystals are chemical compounds that are not considered to be alive.
Recrystallization
cold temperature
When a magma cools down, it becomes a solid. Various atoms "prefer" to be arranged in a crystallic way. So when a magma cools down, crystals start to form and grow. Crystals only grow at their edges, so to make the crystal grow larger, it would need more time to do so. Magma's that cool slower have more time for the crystals inside them to grow, so the crystals will be larger, compared to a magma that cools quicker, or even a magma that comes out of the ground (then called a lava).
Slower rates of cooling will create larger crystals. Rapid cooling allows little time for element accumulation in the crystal, therefore, the crystals created will be smaller. Larger, visible crystals in igneous rock indicate that the magma was slow cooling, usually at depth. Much smaller crystals in igneous rock indicate rapid cooling of lava, usually at or near the surface. Crystals in igneous rock will grow larger and have more time to accumulate material for their growth the more time they have at their crystallization temperature.
Larger crystals suggest slower formation. Crystals would have less time to grow if cooled quickly, and so would be smaller.
The larger the crystals, the more time it had to cool because the crystals had more time to grow
to make crystals grow
nasa studies how microgravity or very little gravity affect human plant crystals and liquids. for example nasa has found that the muscles and bones of astronauts weaken during space missions.plants grow in diffrent directions,crystals grow larger and water does not pour as it would on earth but falls out in spheres.
The answer varies. Crystals have been known to "grow" or rather, accumulate within days. Larger formations can continue to grow over hundreds or thoursands of years, but quite remarkable formations can take place in even a decade.
Yes crystals do grow under the ground.
If you use ammonium phosphate you can make large crystals by mixing it with hot water the slower it cools the larger the crystal formed check online for more details
