What are the periodic elements in a rock?

The Periodic Elements in a rock would depend on what type of rock it is. Almost all of the elements can be found in some type of rock. For example: Sand, quartz, rock crystal, amethyst, agate, flint, jasper, and opal are all silicon oxides. Granite, hornblende, asbestos, feldspar, clay, mica are a few of the many silicate minerals. Some minerals contain occluded helium which can be liberated by heating. Chlorine is never found in nature as the free gas. It is found mainly as rock salt, carnallite, and sylvite.


Why is there no ring of fire in the Atlantic ocean?

The tectonic plates that occur where there is volcanic activity form a ring that almost completely encircles the Pacific Ocean. These teuconic plates are still moving and the pressure heats up the rock causing eruptions (volcanoes) that can occur at most points on the plates. That is why its called the ring of fire. Why is there no ring of fire in the Atlantic? There was at one time. The Icelandic Volcanoes are all that remains of a ring of fire that sculpted the coastlines of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Scotland, Ireland and Greenland. Iceland is largely a set of islands that emerged in the centre of that ring due to deposit of volcanic ash and cooling lava. The Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland is a set of Basalt pillars thrown up by Volcanic action. The North Atlantic ring of fire cooled over millions of years (Ice age and Arctic winters), which is why it is now restricted to a few very active volcanoes near the centre.
