How do minerals form?
Minerals form from one of two ways: The cooling of magma beneath the crust or crystallization of materials dissolved in water.
They become crystals when they cool and solidify, and they rise to the surface as the magma cools.

Minerals form through various geological processes, including crystallization from magma or lava, precipitation from aqueous solutions, and metamorphism. The specific conditions such as temperature, pressure, and chemical composition determine the mineral's characteristics.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
