- Mineral resources and igneous process -when magma cools and hardens into an igneous rock, the heavy minerals cool down early and making them form. -the environment plays a part in the formation of rocks and minerals. - Pegatites are resulting rocks that reach crystallization form the environment -Diamonds are igneous and shot up through a water pipe line and makes into minerals. -Hydrothermal - hot water in the earth. -disseminated deposit- happened from hydrothermal activity. -minerals also form in the metamorphic cycles -weathering also helps to create minerals and ore -bauxite is the principal element that is in aluminum.
