From where do the substances in solution in the ocean originate?
The minerals dissolved in the seawater, all originate from the dissolving of rocks, which contain those minerals. Limestone for example contains magnesium and calcium. Many rocks that now are mountains, contain minerals once encapsulated when they lay below the ocean as sediments. So these minerals are part of a continuum of deposition and solution. As well as the minerals, there are also organic materials formed upon the decay of fish, tiny animals and aquatic plants.
What are the steps that turn sediment into rock?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification (cementing, compacting, and hardening) of existing rock or the bones, shells, and pieces of formerly living things. Rocks are weathered and eroded into tiny particles which are then transported and deposited along with other pieces of rock called sediments. Sediments are cemented together and compacted and hardened over time by the weight and pressure of up to thousands of feet of additional sediments above them. Eventually, the sediments are lithified and become solid sedimentary rock. These sediments that come together are known as clastic sediments. Sediments usually sort themselves by the size of the particles during the deposition process so sedimentary rocks tend to contain similarly sized sedimentary particles. An alternative to clastic sediments are chemical sediments which are minerals in solution that harden. The most common chemical sedimentary rock is limestone, which is a biochemical product of calcium carbonate created by the parts of dead creatures. Approximately three-quarters of the earth's bedrock on the continents is sedimentary.
Minerals that do not contain silicon?
Sulphates, phosphates, oxides, halides and carbonates are minerals that do not contain silicon.
Do sedimentary rocks have bands of minerals?
Yes, sedimentary rocks can contain bands or layers of minerals. These bands are often formed through various processes such as sediment deposition, compaction, and cementation. The minerals within these bands can vary in composition and can provide valuable information about the depositional environment and the history of the rock.
Do mountains contain natural resources minerals coal etc?
I don't think mountains do as such, but when the rocks are pushed up and weathered by rain, sun and wind, mineral deposits are often exposed and therefore easier to find and extract, than if they are buried underground.
Does earth contain minerals from weathered rocks?
yes
How is does soil form and what does soil contain?
Rocks and other sediments get weathered to a point where they are so small, becoming soil.
