Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A process in which atoms arrange themselves in a crystal structure to result in the formation of a material is known as crystallization.
Generally, all minerals are formed through the process of crystallization.
A mineral is formed either by cooling of inner crust of material known as crystallization of magma. Or it can be formed when this cooled material hardens on the surface which is known as lava.
Molten rocks help in the formation of crystallization of igneous minerals whereas recrystallization occurs from other minerals without melting.
On the other hand, water or sometimes air helps in the precipitation of sedimentary rocks.
Therefore, we can conclude that the following statements explain ways that minerals form:
- They are produced from molten minerals.
- They are crystallized from a solution.
