Igneous forms when melted rock cools and hardens. Igneous rock is also called volcanic rock.
Sedementary forms through weathering.
Metamorphic forms when mountains build up.

Is it true when magnitic minerals grains in a rock form they become magnetized in the direction parallel to earth existing magnetic field?
true
Three ways soil erosion can be form?

What are 2 processes that form crystals?
Minerals can form during solidification of magma. Minerals can form from supersaturated solutions of dissolved minerals.
Do minerals form when a hot water solution cools and the minerals crystallize?
A hydrothermal solution is a very hot mixture of water and dissolved substances. Hydrothermal solutions have temperatures between 1000C and 3000C. When these solutions come into contact with existing materials, chemical reactions occur to form new materials. Also, when such solutions cool, some of the elements in them combine to form such minerals as quarts and pyrite.
What are two ways in which minerals can form alike and how they are different?
which minerals can form are alike and how they are different
What name is given to the process where hot mixtures of water and dissolved substances react with existing minerals to form minerals?
Hydrothermal alteration.
How do vein minerals form?
Vein minerals are those that form in fissures in the existing rock, either thru deposition by mineral saturated hydrothermal fluids, or injection of magma and subsequent cooling.
Why oceanic water absorb so many minerals in it?
Ocean water absorbs a lot of minerals because water is such an excellent solvent for so many substances. Combine with that, the abundance of existing dissolved materials that can form soluble salts with many existing minerals and you have an excellent environment for dissolving minerals that start out as oxides.

How are minerals formed in igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Minerals form in igneous rock as magma or lava cools. The minerals will form from the available chemicals in the magma as their crystallization temperature is reached. The sequence of mineral crystal formation from magma is described in the Bowen's Reaction Series. Metamorphic rock minerals are aligned, altered, or recrystallized from existing rock minerals due to the effects of heat and/or pressure.

Explain the relationship between the reactivity of an element and the likelihood of its existing as an uncombined element?
The more reactive it is the more less likely it is to be found in pure form

How can rock minerals form?
Rock minerals form from lava, magma or solutions.
How does rocks form soil?
soil is the loose umaggregated and uncemented form of sediment grains, an aggregate of minerals that can be seperated by applying mechanical stress whereas a rock (also being an aggregate of minerals) has strong cohesive forces that keep it intact. Soil is fromed from the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of a rock, with time these sediments are consolidated and they form the soil cover. A rock is formed basically by three processes:- Cooling of lava or magma (igneous rocks) Change in Pressure temperature and compositional setting of pre-existing rocks (metamorphic rocks) Compaction and consolidation of sediments that have eroded from pre-existing rocks that can be igneous or metamorphic (sedimentary rocks)
