The most common group of minerals found in Earth's crust is silicate minerals.
There are over 4,000 different minerals found in the Earth's crust, but only about 30 are common. These common minerals make up the majority of the rocks and soils on Earth.
Some meteorite minerals that are not found on Earth include kamacite, taenite, and troilite.
Hydrothermal springs / hydrothermal water.
Minerals are primarily found in the Earth's crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. This layer is comprised of various rocks and minerals that make up the solid surface of the planet.

Minerals make up the rocks of earth, so minerals are found wherever there are rocks at the surface. Water too is a mineral so this includes the oceans.

No. The denser minerals are found at the core.
There are nearly 2,500 recognized minerals on Earth.
The majority of minerals found on Earth are silicate minerals, which are composed predominantly of silicon and oxygen. Some common examples include quartz, feldspar, and mica. These minerals are the building blocks of most rocks in the Earth's crust.
Natural minerals are found in the Earth (as opposed to being in the air, for example).
Some of them are. Some of the minerals on Earth are found nowhere else in the solar system.
