By crystallizing as magma or lava cools.
Explanation: As molten rock cools, atoms arrange into orderly, repeating patterns and form mineral crystals. Slow cooling (underground) produces larger crystals; rapid cooling (at the surface) makes small crystals or glass. The other choices describe different processes (melting, dissolution/precipitation, and weathering).
