Is zeolite a mineral?
Zeolite is actually not a mineral, but the name of a large group of minerals, that are silicates with framework structures containing open cavities in the form of channels and cages. This framework makes them excellent filters with a multitude of uses. A few common zeolite minerals are analcime, chabazite, and heulandite. Zeolites of the World by Tschernich is the best reference on these minerals.
Which type of fault occurs when rocks are pushed together as they meet?
These will form reverse or thrust faults.
When did the rich kids group form?
right after the poor kids group formed, but before the middle class group formed.
Which process describes how different minerals form at different rates?
Fractional Crystallization
How do lichens help form soil?
Lichens are an important part of the Earth. They help form soil by breaking apart rocks with oxalic acid to use the minerals for themselves.
Does all motion along large faults occur in the form of destructive earthquakes?
No, all motion along the faults can also occur in the form of a tsunami
How can faulting act as a construction force?
Rock moves upward along faults to form a mountain range.
How do faullt-block mountains form?
along nearly parallel normal faults.
The elements fluorine and chlorine can form minerals in the what group?
The elements fluorine and chlorine can form minerals with :Alkali MetalsAlkali Earth Metals
How volcanoes form in the central valley of a divergent boundary?
Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form where the magma reaches the surface. And from there it forms valleys.
How do volcanos form in the central valley of a divergent boundary?
Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form where the magma reaches the surface. And from there it forms valleys.
Silicon and oxygen combine to form the framework of the most common mineral group?
Silicon and oxygen combine to form the most abundant mineral group, the silicates.
Where are mountains belts form?
Mountains are most often formed on faults. Because these faults occur due to the space between tectonic plates, these faults take the form of lines. Thus, the thin belts are along these long lines.
Explain how volcanoes form in the central rift valley of a divergent boundary?
Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form when magma reaches the surface, and then the valleys form from erosion.
Why do so many of earths volcanoes form along plate boundaries?
Lava easily spews out of plate faults making volcanoes.
Are the first minerals that form in a cooling magma are primarily members of the sulfide group?
yes
The elements fluorine and chlorine can form minerals in what group?
These minerals are evaporites.
