For the crystallization of minerals from a magma,melting point determines which mineral will form first.For evaporite minerals
A)solubility determines which mineral will form first.
B)salinity determines which mineral will form first.
C)melting point also determines which mineral will form first.
D)there is no single determinant.All evaporite minerals precipitate at the same time.
