Why are quartz and other metallic minerals such as gold commonly associated with hydrothermal rocks?
Many metallic ores that are found are associated with quartz because they are often found within veins of quartz. The metals are then separated from the crushed quartz ore.
What are different types of minerals that are obtained from rocks?
Elemental metals, sulfates, sulfides, carbonates, halides, silicates.
What are metallic ores?
Metal ores are rocks with metal in them. The ore can be extracted in a furnace by heating the ore, coke and limestone at a very high temperature. The molten metal is then collected off.
What are rocks that contain minerals called?
Rocks. Rocks are made of minerals.
Is magnesium an igneous rock?

Name the rocks with which non metallic minerals such as petroleum are associated?
Shale
Are ores and rocks minerals or metals?
Pure native metals are considered minerals. Mixed metals are considered alloys.
Are alloys considered rocks?
NoAlloys are mixtures of metallic elements or metals with other elements (steel is an alloy that can be a mixture of iron and carbon).Rocks are minerals, these are components of the earth and need not contain any metallic elements at all.
List two uses for metallic minerals?
Mtallic Minerals used for aircrafts, automboblies, computer, and spacecaft. Nometallic Minerals are used for roads, buliding, bidges, and other stuctures.
What is a nonmetallic mineral?
If you examine the Periodic Table of the elements, you can see that there are sections for metals, semi-metals, and non-metals. The elements on the right side of the table are the nonmetallic elements. Possible examples include mineral resources that contain silicon, phosphorus, or sulfur.
Why are quartz and other metallic minerals such as gold commonly associated with hydrothermal rocks?
Many metallic ores that are found are associated with quartz because they are often found within veins of quartz. The metals are then separated from the crushed quartz ore.
Which scientists study rocks metals and minerals from the earth?

Hematite is a metallic mineral. Remember, minerals make up rocks.
What do you call a group of closely associated rocks or minerals from a specific area?
It is called a suite of rocks.
What is a rock that contains a mineral?
Many rocks contain minerals that contain metallic elements. Rocks that contain metallic elements that can be economically refined into quantities of useful metals are called metallic ores. Bauxite, for instance, is the common rock ore which is refined to produce the metal aluminum.
Where can you find natural metals?
In rocks and minerals of the Earth crust and in many humans artefacts.
