What is not a way that a mineral can be formed? a. in a laboratory b. by evaporation c. during crystallization by magma d. in a naturally-occurring chemical reaction

Option (A)

Explanation: Minerals are the naturally occurring, inorganic solid, that are comprised of a distinctive internal atomic arrangement. They are generally made up of one or more element and have a precise chemical composition.

Minerals combines with one another and form rocks.

But minerals cannot be formed in a laboratory as it wont fulfill the necessary conditions for formation. This will be artificial minerals.

Thus, numerous minerals are formed depending upon its various temperature and pressure conditions.

For example, Olivine, pyroxene, amphibole and quartz.

Thus, the correct answer to the given question is option (A).

the correct answer is b
