I am answering my own question but there are 3000 minerals known to Earth.... if thats just how many rocks that are known to Earth than think about how many minerals that are not known to Earth.
2000
Over 4000.
These essential minerals are known as micronutrients or trace elements.
20
no minerals are not known to be fossil fuels
These are known as silicate minerals or silicates.
There are over 4,000 known minerals in the world. Some common minerals include quartz, feldspar, mica, and calcite. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure.
Indiana is known to have over 50 different minerals. These include common minerals such as calcite, quartz, and gypsum, as well as some more rare varieties. The state's diverse geological formations contribute to this mineral variety, found in various locations, including quarries and riverbeds.
90% of minerals are silicate.
This is a nonsensical question. Minerals are solid, crystalline, inorganic molecules. They are made of elements, and so elements are obviously not made of minerals.
