It is due to the formation of silver sulphide ,as a result of the reaction between silver and hydrogen sulphide in the air.
... because polluted air affects silver's top surfaces, over time it will eventually start to rust and peel off. silver is put behind mirrors to reflect while glass prevents it from tarnishing.
naturally occurring sulfur oxide causes silver to turn black over time. The concentrated sulfur, about 6% in Spot treatments, just increases the speed of this chemical reaction. Toothpaste with Zinc and silver-cleaner cloth takes care of it.
Ummm... not quite sure what you mean, silver can be found all over the world.
Black volcanic rock eroded over time makes black sand.
Good Question… If the ring is made up of pure titanium and is good quality then it will not turn black over time. I think you should be aware from whom you are buying your ring. Source :- www.buybluesteel.com
Silver oxidises over time making it look black. Moisture from the human body can speed up this process
Sulphur and Nitrogen dioxide and trioxide gases present in the air, as pollutants, react with the surface of the silver to form black compounds such as Silver nitrate and Silver sulphide.
silver will tarnish over time, and that's normal. just clean it occasionally and make it sparkle :)
If we are talking about the element silver than yes it can change colors. The silver may change from a chemical treatment or naturally over time, which is called toning, becoming brown, tan, black, even what is called rainbow toned.
because of sulphide coating on silver

The chemicals in the jacuzzi water will turn silver to black. Next time, take off your silver jewelry before entering a spa or pool.
The silver ions in the exposed area will be reduced to black metallic silver in a matter of minutes.

Over a long period of time
It changed over time from black and white to color?
Smoking over time will make them black.
