How minerals form COULTER

How minerals form Geode: is a rounded, hollow rock that is often lined with mineral crystals. ◦Crystals form inside a geode when water containing dissolved minerals seeps into a crack or hollow in a rock. Slowly crystallization occurs Crystallization: is the process by which atoms are arranged to form a material with a crystal structure. Minerals can form in two ways: ◦Crystallization of molten material ◦Crystallization of materials dissolved in water

Minerals from magma and lava Magma: is molten material from inside Earth that hardens to form rock. Lava: is magma that reaches the surface. Minerals form as hot magma cools inside Earth, or as lava hardens on the surface. When these liquids cool to a solid state, they form crystals The size of a crystal depends on the rate at which the magma cools ◦When magma remains deep below the surface it cools slowly, forming large crystals. ◦When magma closer to the surface cools more rapidly that is no time for magma to form large crystals. Fast cooling magma makes small crystals

Minerals from solutions Solution: is a mixture in which one substance is dissolved in another. When elements and compounds that are dissolved in water leave a solution, crystallization occurs. Minerals can form this way underground and in bodies of water on Earth’s surface.

Minerals formed by evaporation Some minerals form when solutions evaporate. If you stir salt into a beaker of water, the salt dissolves, forming a solution. If you allow the water to evaporate the solution will leave salt crystals.

Minerals from hot water solutions Underground magma can heat water to high temperatures. Sometimes, the elements and compounds that form a mineral dissolve in this hot water. When the water solution begins to cool, the elements and compounds leave the solution and crystallize as minerals. Pure metal that crystallize from hot water solutions underground often form veins. Vein: is a narrow channel or slab of a mineral that is different from the surrounding rock. Solutions of hot water and metals often flow through cracks within the rock. Then the metals crystallize into veins that resemble the streaks of fudge in vanilla fudge ice cream.
