Question

In what two ways do minerals form​

Answer 1

When magma cools slowly, deep below the surface, it has time to form large crystals in regular patterns. The second way that minerals form is through solutions. (A solution is when one substance is dissolved uniformly in a liquid.) When elements and compounds leave the solution, they can crystalize.

Answer 2

Minerals can form in three primary ways being precipitation, crystallization from a magma and solid- state transformation by chemical reactions (metamorphism). Mineral Precipitation is when a mineral is formed by crystallization from a solution. Examples include quartz, halite (table salt), calcite, and gypsum.
