Processes That Form Magma

Processes That Form Magma

Minerals can form in two ways: Through crystallization of melted

materials. Through crystallization of materials

dissolved in water. Crystallization is a process where

atoms are arranged to form a material with a crystal structure.

Mineral from MagmaMineral from Magma

Magma is molten material that hardens to form rock.

Lava is magma that reaches the surface.

When lava cools, it hardens and forms rocks.

Crystals form when lava cools and turns from a liquid to solid state.

The size of the crystals depend on: How fast the magma cools. The amount of gas the magma

contains. The chemical composition of the

magma.

Magma closer to the surface cools faster yielding smaller crystals.

Magma deep below the surface cools slowly yielding larger crystals.

Magma closer to the surface cools faster yielding smaller crystals.

Magma deep below the surface cools slowly yielding larger crystals.

Minerals from Hot Water Solution

Minerals from Hot Water Solution

A solution is a mixture in which one substance dissolves in another.

When hot water begins to cool, the elements and compounds leave the solution and crystallize to form minerals.

VeinsVeins

A vein is a narrow channel or slab of mineral that’s different from the surrounding rock.

Occurs when pure metals crystallize underground from hot water solutions.
