How do minerals form? Select all that apply.
A. by evaporation
B. in various chemical reactions
C. during the crystallization of magma
D. when solid materials melt into magma

Respuesta :

During the crystallization of magma

Answer:

A. by evaporation

B. in various chemical reactions

C. during the crystallization of magma

Explanation:

Minerals are bodies of an inorganic nature that appear in a solid state. The earth is mainly made up of rocks. From the minerals and rocks on the Earth's surface we obtain a large part of the resources we need to live. They are formed by the interaction of physical-chemical processes in geological environments.

Minerals originate through three fundamental processes:

  • Magmatic
  • Metamorphic
  • Sedimentary

Magmatic: Leads to mineral formation by solidification of magma. They originate from magma, this has in its composition a great diversity of elements, water vapor and other gases.

Metamorphic : They are minerals formed by changes in the physical and chemical structure of rocks caused by variations in temperature and pressure.

Sedimentary: They are formed when rocks undergo weathering processes. The free minerals are deposited or transferred by the water currents until they settle.

Based on this, the correct options are:

A. by evaporation

B. in various chemical reactions

C. during the crystallization of magma
