Answer:

From solutions that evaporate

Step-by-step explanation:

Minerals can form in different ways. According to the question, minerals crystallize from a material dissolved in water when the solution evaporates. When a material dissolves in water, it forms a solution i.e. water + dissolved material.

The element constituents of the solution can aggregate to form a solid mineral, which will be left to crystallize when the solution undergoes evaporation i.e. liquid changes to gas. A very good example is when salt dissolves in water to form a salt water solution. When the water of this solution evaporates, salt crystals are left, which can crystallize to form minerals.
