Question 12 • WCA 4130 Earth and Space Science 1st Quarter 26-27
Water heated by magma can dissolve minerals and carry them through cracks in rock. As the hot water solution cools, dissolved minerals crystallize and form a mineral deposit. This matches “the mineral formed when a hot water solution cooled”; crystallizing directly from molten material would describe formation from magma or lava.
