Why are there more different types of rocks then minerals?
Elements make up minerals, and minerals make up rocks. There are more combinations of minerals (themselves combinations) than elements.
What is the substance made up of molten rocks gasses and minerals that reaches the earth surface called?
The substance made up of molten rocks, gases, and minerals that reaches earth's surface [note correct spelling] is called "lava".
What forms from melted minerals?
ALL minerals crystallise from molten materials. Magma consists of minerals. It is easy to believe that all magma is the same, but magmas are as different as rocks.
What minerals form from melted materials?

Can Molten rock material from which minerals can crystallize be called magma?
This question is already answered. From previously existing rocks sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks, and metamorphic rocks are all formed.
What does minerals and rocks combine with?
Minerals in Rocks combine with Chemicals in the air,Chemical Weathering takes place.
How are rocks and minerals formed?
Rocks are formed from the solidification of molten magma, from the erosion and consolidation of eroded rock, or from the sedimentation of organic matter. Rocks are composed of minerals. Minerals are combinations of elements and are formed in response to many factors which include temperature, pressure, and element availability.
How are minerals and rocks the same?
Rocks are composed of minerals. Minerals are composed of elements.
One reason that molten rock at the surface is different in composition from molten rock underground is that?
minerals are added as moltenn rocks melt other rocks

What minerals combine to form igneous rock?
It doesn't necessarily matter what the minerals are, as long as they form from cooling magma or lava. Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of cooled magma (molten rock). They may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks.
Are all rocks made of minerals?
Yes, all rocks are made from minerals!Yes! Every rock is made up of minerals!

What are the common minerals called?

How are moon rocks similar to and different rocks on earth?
Minerals that make up moon rocks are the same minerals that are found on Earth. Some moon rocks have minerals that combine to form kinds of rocks that are not found on Earth. BlueStar(:
How many rocks in an element?
Rocks are composed of minerals which are composed of elements.
Is minerals rocks?
No, minerals are not rocks. Minerals are one or more elements stacked together which forms a crystal structure. A rock is composed of one or more minerals.
