What are the main types of minerals that make up the continental and oceanic plates?
c plates- bedrock and granite o plates- bastlic
Why rocks and minerals important to society?
Minerals are important to the society because minerals can be used to make pots, pans, buildings, counters and plates.
Is the earths crust a solid piece of rock?
No, it is made of rock but it is made up of many plates that move around the place cause earthquakes. The crust is rock but it is not solid all the way around. The plates are called tectonic plates and if you search "tectonic plates of the world" it should tell you where they are and what they are made up of.
Why does earth plates move?
Earth's plates move due to the heat generated by the radioactive decay of minerals in the mantle. This heat creates convection currents that cause the plates to slowly shift and interact with one another, leading to processes like subduction, spreading, and mountain formation.
What is the main mineral that Continental and Oceanic plates are made up of?
Both continental and oceanic plates are primarily composed of silicate minerals, with the most dominant mineral being feldspar. Additionally, oceanic plates contain higher concentrations of basalt, a type of volcanic rock formed from cooling lava, while continental plates have a more diverse composition due to the variety of rock types found on land.

What kinds of rocks and minerals are found in sag ponds?

What is the mineral type that continental plates are made of?
The majority of the continental plates is composed of SiO2, silicon dioxide, much of it in the form of the feldspar, mica, and quartz minerals.
How are minerals linked to plate tectonics?
Minerals Make up rocks, Which make up the layers of the Earth(Crust, Lithosphere, asthenosphere, and Mantle)(Minerals make up the inner and outter core). The layers of the earth(crust) make up plate tectonics; convection currents and Plates(made of rock)
What are the techtonic plates made of?
The Earth's tectonic plates are primarily made of solid rock, composed mostly of silicate minerals such as feldspar and quartz. These plates are rigid sections of the Earth's lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
Why do we use streak plates to test minerals?
They show you the true color of the mineral. Small impurities can cause big changes in the color of a mineral.

What minerals are in a car?
The main mineral that is found in car batteries is lead. Water and sulfuric acid are housed inside of plates that are composed of lead oxide and lead.
What layer of the earth contains rocks minerals and soil?
The layer of the Earth that contains rocks, minerals, and soil is the Earth's crust. It is the outermost layer of the Earth and is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-liquid layer below called the mantle.
