Question

Describe how minerals form in diagram B

Answer 1

One of the two ways minerals form is by: 1. crystallization of magma (cools inside the crust) or lava (cools & hardens on the surface) 2. crystallization of materials dissolved in water. When these liquids cool to a solid state, they form crystals.

Answer 2

Answer: In diagram B, the magma here is observed to be within the crust and could not come out to the surface. This signifies that the hot, rising magma, suddenly cooled down forming a huge block of mass which is considered to be an intrusive igneous body. It can be a batholith, lacolith or a pluton. This type of body is formed due to the cooling and the consolidation of hot magma.
