NGSS.MS-PS1-1

The type of mineral formation that results from great changes in pressure and temperature in earth can rearrange the atoms in a mineral, causing it to become another type of mineral.

• Crystallization from magma or lava

• Precipitation

• Pressure and Temperature

• Produced by organisms

The type of mineral formation that results from magma cooling inside earth's crust or lava hardening on the surface, crystallization then occurs and minerals can form.
