Amineral forms from water at the edge of a lake.

which statements best describe this mineral? check all that apply.

the mineral formed from lava.
the mineral formed through evaporation.
the mineral formed when hot water cooled.
the mineral crystallized from magma.
the mineral crystallized from dissolved elements and compounds.

The mineral formed through evaporation.

The mineral crystallized from dissolved elements and compounds.

A lake water is a small water body, that receives water from surface runoff or water from sources like river, ocean, rivers and others. As, it obtains water from other distinct sources, it is a rich source of minerals. Minerals are inorganic substances found inside the earth crust. These minerals not only found inside the water of the lake but can also be found at the edges. This is because of the following reasons:

The mineral formed through evaporation: The water soluble minerals gets deposited at the edges as the water evaporates.

The mineral crystallized from dissolved elements and compounds: The dissolved elements and compounds gets crystallized as minerals at the edges when the water is lost in the process of evaporation.

B) The mineral formed through evaporation.

E) The mineral crystallized from dissolved elements and compounds.

answer and explanation;

volcanic rocks are igneous rocks which form from lava, molten rock which has been thrust out of a volcano onto the surface of a rocky body such as an asteroid, planet, or dwarf planet.  

plutonic rocks are igneous rocks which form from subterranean chambers of molten rock or magma. plutonic rocks make up the base of continental crust as well as oceanic crust. their slow rate of formation causes them to be coarse grained since there is plenty of time for large crystals to form before the magma solidifies into rock.

the textural difference is that plutonic rocks are more coarse grained than volcanic rocks. plutonic rocks are coarse grained while volcanic are fine grained ; glassey or fragmental. since fine and coarse are adjectives the decision as to whether a rock is fine or coarse grained is generally made on the bases of whether or not the individual crystals can be seen in most if the rock.
