Quick and simple answer is that metals are solid and therefore are affected by the gravity of the Earth more than gases. Therefore gases are in the air and solids are on the surface or under the surface of the Earth.

ores are compounds from which these metals can be extracted

Do metals only come fron ores?
Yes, metals do only come from ores and pure metals also are found in the Earth's crust.
Why do you mine metal ores?
Metal ores are used as resources from which metals may be extracted.
What are metal oars?
Metal ores are metallic elements found in compounds with other elements in nature. These ores are then separated to produce pure metals.
Where are some places iron can be found?
Aluminum and iron are often found in ores. some ores are compacted with difrent minerals like iron, Aluminum
What metals can be obtained in cinnabar?
gold is usually found in cinnabar ores because it is unreactive
Are metals are found in rocks called ores?

Where are metals formed?
Metals are usually found in the Earth's crust, in the form of ores.
Fairly reactive metals found as ores?
no because if the metals were reactive then they would react with elements in the air non reactive metals are found in there native state like gold and silver.

What are the important ores?
Their importance is that these ores can be extracted into metals .
Are ores and rocks minerals or metals?
Pure native metals are considered minerals. Mixed metals are considered alloys.
What is Gold often found in?
in water, lumps of rock or in ores;)
