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 are minerals formed from magma and lava?
'fraid not. some minerals form from magma, which is hot, liquid rock material INSIDE Earth's surface. Not on Earth's surface.
Why does lava cool into?
The minerals in magma form crystals when solidifying, giving igneous rocks their characteristic hardness.
What is the magma type for a lava dome?
Lava domes usually form with very viscous rhyolitic or dacitic magma.
What is the major material composing igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are formed from minerals that have crystallized from magma. The minerals include quartz, feldspars, amphibole, micas, and the elements oxygen, silicon, iron, manganese, magnesium, and calcium among others.
What minerals combine to form igneous rock?
It doesn't necessarily matter what the minerals are, as long as they form from cooling magma or lava. Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of cooled magma (molten rock). They may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks.
How do minerals form from magma?
by lava and calcite
How minerals form from magma?
by lava and calcite
How can rock minerals form?
Rock minerals form from lava, magma or solutions.
Can minerals form form magma and lava?
yes they can actually
How are minerals formed from magma and lava?

Are minerals formed from magma?
Minerals are formed from magma when the lava cools and hardens to produce a solid
Why does lava cool into?
The minerals in magma form crystals when solidifying, giving igneous rocks their characteristic hardness.
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.
What forms when rocks or minerals partially or completely melt?
Lava and magma are two forms of melted rocks
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.
How are mineral formed by crystallization from magma?
As magma cools, elements combine to form minerals.
