We know how rocks form by following the rock cycle. But what about minerals? Consider the image of a typical volcano. Not only does this volcanic eruption result in the formation of igneous rocks, it results in the formation of minerals. ALL BUT ONE statement
explains how minerals are formed when a volcano erupts.
A)
Lava begins to cool slowly.
B)
Lava begins the crystallization process as it cools.
C)
Lava cools quickly and forms minerals with small crystals.
D)
Slow cooling and crystallization results in large mineral crystals

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? question 15 options: as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
