The process of minerals formation from magma is called?
Crystallization is when minerals form from magma. Crystallization takes time.
Which two transitions can magma undergro?
crystallization above ground and crystallization below ground
What is formed from the crystallization of magma?
igneous rock
What type of rock is formed when magma undergoes crystallization above ground?
Extrusive igneous rock is formed from the crystallization of magma (lava) above ground.
How are crystallization and cooling magma related?
Crystallization and cooling magma are related in the sense that cooling and crystallization occurs simultaneously. As the magma cools it crystallizes, the faster the rate of cooling the quicker crystals would develop and the slower the cooling the larger the crystals in other cases when the magma cool so rapidly crystal development may not be so prominent.

How is zircon formed?
Zircon forms from the crystallization of magma.

How Metal-rich veins are formed at the end or what?
magma crystallization
What happens when magma hardens into igneous rock?
crystallization and sollidification
How does fractional crystallization lead to magmatic differentiation?
As a magma crystallizes it undergoes fractional crystallization in which mafic minerals crystallize first and felsic minerals crystallize last. Therefore, as fractional crystallization occurs the magma becomes increasingly less mafic and increasingly more felsic. The viscosity also increases as a magma becomes more felsic.
What are rocks form by crystallization and consolidation of molten magma?
Primary
