well lava and magma are pretty much the same thing but the way minerals form from lava and magma is that when a volcano erupts the magma turns to lava and lava is just magma that cool-es faster because it is on the surface. anyway the way that minerals form is when the lava and minerals already form come together they form new minerals

How can rock minerals form?

Rock minerals form from lava, magma or solutions.


How are minerals formed from magma and lava?

Minerals are formed from magma and lava through the process of crystallization. As magma or lava cools, the atoms and ions within the molten rock come together to form solid mineral crystals. The specific minerals that form depend on the composition of the magma or lava and the cooling rate.


Can minerals form form magma and lava?

yes they can actually

Minerals are formed from magma when the lava cools and hardens to produce a solid


How did the lava cool from hot lava to hard rock?

The minerals in magma form crystals when solidifying, giving igneous rocks their characteristic hardness.


What factor affects the size of the crystals in minerals that form from magma or lava?

If the lava cools quickly the crystals will be smaller than if it cooled slowly.


Does magma and lava contain metals?

Yes, magma and lava can contain various metals and minerals, such as iron, copper, zinc, and gold. These metals are often found in ore deposits that form as magma cools and solidifies underground, or as lava erupts and cools on the Earth's surface.


What forms when rocks or minerals partially or completely melt?

Lava and magma are two forms of melted rocks


How are mineral formed in igneous and metamorphic?

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.


What are Melted minerals?

Molten rock, or in other words, magma or lava. Magma exists beneath the Earth's surface, lava is flowing magma produced by the eruption of volcanoes.
