Some elements occur in nature in a pure form, and not as part of a compound with other elements. Elements such as copper, silver, and gold are also minerals. Almost all pure, solid elements are mentals.

Elements like carbon and sulfur exist as pure ore. Elements such as iron and aluminium exist as mineral compounds. They cannot be extracted directly, but through a purification process such as electrolysis or melting in a furnace.

How does nature make gold?

The only way any element heavier than iron can be created in nature is in the stupendous heat and pressure generated by a "supernova" - the explosion of a giant star. Some very heavy new elements have been created in the laboratory in scant amounts (some last only a few milliseconds), but these do not occur in nature.

Do hurricanes occur on other planets?

Not really. While some of the other planets do have cyclonic storms, they are of a different nature from the hurricanes that occur on earth. It is possible that tropical cyclones (the generic term for a hurricane) occur on planets outside our solar system, but there is no way of observing if this is true with current technology.


What can elements make?

Sulfur is one of the 92 naturally occurring elements, and is not a compound of any others. So you can't split or decompose sulfur to get any other elements, and you can't combine other elements to make sulfur.
