Magma Cooling
Halite precipitate is an example of a mineral formed from:
Rapidly cooling magma
Metamorphism
Slowly cooling magma
Evaporating solutions
What is it called when minerals form due to bodies of saltwater
evaporating?
Plant rocks
Metamorphism
Precipitating from an
evaporating solution
Cooling magma forms plutons
When water evaporates, the minerals inside solidify and come out of the solution.
The minerals release themselves, or (a) , from the liquid
When dissolved materials come out of a solution and accumulate, they can form minerals.
What is this process called?
Precipitating from a cooling solution on Earth's surface
Metamorphism
Precipitating from an evaporating solution
Cooling magma
Dolomite forms by:
Materials precipitating from an evaporating solution
Materials precipitating from a cooling solution
Metamorphism
Cooling magma
What is it called when minerals form from materials that precipitate from water that was heated by magma,
which caused a chemical reaction with the minerals to make a solution?
Metamorphism
Precipitating from a cooling solution
Precipitating from an evaporating solution
Precipitating from a cooling solution beneath Earth's surface
Gold is formed by:
Slowly cooling magma
Precipitating from a cooling solution beneath Earth's surface
Precipitating from a cooling solution
Metamorphism
True or false: Garnet forms through slowly cooling magma.
(a)
Minerals that contain a combination of silicon and oxygen. Most of them are formed from basic
building blocks called silicate tetrahedrons.
(a)
Minerals that do not contain a mixture of silicon and oxygen. They also do not contain the silicate tetrahedrons.
