Question

Explain the different ways in which minerals form. (Write answer in 12 to 15 lines)

Answer 1

Minerals can form in several ways. They can form when magma crystallizes. They can also form due to weathering of existing rocks, or they can form by precipitating dissolved chemicals from water. One other way minerals can form is during the process of "metamorphosis" -- when rocks of one type gradually get transformed into another kind of rock. I hope this helps!
