Which statements explain ways that minerals form? check all that apply.

they are mined from rocks.
they are produced from molten minerals.
they are grown in a laboratory.
they are washed up on seashore.
they are crystalized from a solution.

Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which atoms arrange themselves in a crystal structure to result in the formation of a material is known as crystallization.

Generally, all minerals are formed through the process of crystallization.

A mineral is formed either by cooling of inner crust of material known as crystallization of magma. Or it can be formed when this cooled material hardens on the surface which is known as lava.

Molten rocks help in the formation of crystallization of igneous minerals whereas recrystallization occurs from other minerals without melting.

On the other hand, water or sometimes air helps in the precipitation of sedimentary rocks.

Therefore, we can conclude that the following statements explain ways that minerals form:

the oldest known insects are believed to live around 400 millions ago as suggested by the fossil records.   some plants having woody stems also evolved during this time.

after the evolution of insects the first four legged species or the tetrapods evolved in shallow freshwater habitats from the intermediate species approximately 397 million years ago. the tetrapods went on conquering the land giving rise to amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds.

the major split in tetrapods first occurred 340 million years ago branching off from amphibians.

363 million years ago when the carboniferous period began the insects started roaming on land and taking flights, following which the four limbed tetrapods adapted in the terrestrial habitat.
