Carbon is a mineral with many different allotropes (structurally different arrangements of the same compound) some of which are found in the Earth's crust (eg. Graphite and Diamond). An ore is a type of rock that contains important minerals such as gold ore or diamond ore.
Usually the term 'ore' is reserved to rocks containing economically useful metals but 'carbon ore' is not a contradiction.
What else can I help you with?
Is carbon an ore?
No, carbon is not an ore. Ores are naturally occurring rocks or minerals from which a valuable substance can be extracted, whereas carbon is a chemical element commonly found in the Earth's crust and atmosphere.
What are 4 different types of mining?
Surface mining: extracting minerals or ores from the surface of the Earth. Underground mining: extracting minerals or ores from beneath the Earth's surface. Placer mining: extracting minerals or ores from rivers, streams, or other sediment deposits. Submarine mining: extracting minerals or ores from the seabed.
Are ores and rocks minerals or metals?
Ores are mineral deposits that contain metals in concentrated form. Rocks can also contain minerals, but not all rocks are considered to be minerals. Metals are elements that are typically extracted from ores through mining and processing.
Where are ores found?
Ores are typically found in the Earth's crust, in areas known as mineral deposits. These deposits can be found in various geological formations such as veins, sedimentary layers, and igneous rocks. Ores are mined through various methods to extract the desired minerals or metals.
What state is germanium found on in earth?
Germanium is not typically found in its pure form in nature. It is most commonly found in combination with other minerals, such as zinc ores, coal, and some copper ores. Germany has historically been a major source of germanium.
What can useful minerals be found from?
it can be found in ores
Where can minerals and ores be found?
In the beach
Is carbon an ore?
No, carbon is not an ore. Ores are naturally occurring rocks or minerals from which a valuable substance can be extracted, whereas carbon is a chemical element commonly found in the Earth's crust and atmosphere.
What metals are fairly reactive and found as ores?
potassium, nickel, carbon
How are minerals extracted from their ores?
metals are extracted from their ores according to their reactivity series.firstly, metals that are more reactive that carbon are extracted by electrolysis whic is breaking the compounds down using electricity.secondly, metals that are less reactive than carbon are extracted by reduction in which carbon is added to the metal ore, carbon react with oxygen and the metal remain by itself pure.example: Zinc oxide + Carbon ----> Zinc + Carbon dioxideGold and Platinum are found in nature by themselves.
Which minerals are found in graphite?
Carbon
Which of these is not an ore copper carbon silver iron?
copper, silver and carbon are not real ores but could be found as pure elements: carbon as coal, or diamond. Silver as nuggets. Copper as native copper specimen. Iron is almost never found in the free elemental state, and should be extracted from iron ore, which is not iron, but mainly made of iron oxides.
Are vein minerals metal deposits that occur in cracks in rocks?
Yes and No, while some metal ores may indeed be vein minerals, not all vein minerals are metal ores and not all metal ores are vein minerals.
What r ores?
ores are the minerals that are underground that you have to cook in order to be a mineral.
What is ore of tungsten?
Tungsten is found in wolframite (hence why the Germans called tungsten wolfram).
What are 4 different types of mining?
