There are far more than two minerals that form rocks. You have to consider that there are about 3800 known minerals found on Earth. However, two minerals that are extremely abundant in continental and oceanic rock are feldspar and quartz.

Describe two environments in which minerals form?

Hydrothermal vents: Minerals can form when hot water rich in dissolved minerals rises from beneath the Earth's crust and comes into contact with cold seawater. This rapid cooling causes minerals to precipitate and accumulate around the vent openings. Magma chambers: Minerals can also form when molten rock (magma) cools and solidifies underground in magma chambers. As the magma cools, minerals crystallize out from the molten rock and form distinct mineral formations.
