What are 2 types of minerals found in Earth's crust?
Two types of minerals found in Earth's crust are silicate minerals and nonsilicate minerals. Silicate minerals are the most abundant type and contain silicon and oxygen. Nonsilicate minerals do not contain silicon and oxygen in their chemical composition.
Name six types of nonsilicate minerals?

Why are nonsilicate minerals more common on the surface of the Earth than within the crust?
Nonsilicate minerals are more common on the Earth's surface because they are often formed by the weathering and alteration of silicate minerals that are prevalent in the Earth's crust. Silicate minerals make up the majority of the Earth's crust, but through weathering and erosion, they break down into nonsilicate minerals which are then often found on the surface. Additionally, nonsilicate minerals may be more resistant to weathering and erosion, allowing them to persist on the surface while silicate minerals are gradually broken down and transported elsewhere.
