What are examples of how minerals are concentrated in geological structures?

One example in particular comes to mind. Kimberlite pipes, former explosive conduits for volcanic material, are great sources of the mineral diamond, having ripped apart the mineral from their point of formation deep in the Earth and thrusting them toward the surface. Underground salt domes are virtually unlimited sources of the mineral halite (table salt). The mineral calcite is produced primarily from the sedimentary rock limestone. Sandstone is a primary source of the mineral quartz. Shale deposits are great sources for clay minerals used in ceramics and brick making.

What will you get if you combine geological agregant of minerals with its lowest form?
Rock Bottom
What is the importance of microbes in geological processes?
Roles of microbes in geological processes can be identified in the geomicrobial processes. In these processes, microbes help in transformation of minerals and metals.
What is schists?
Schists are a group of minerals that are characterized by having plate-like crystal structures that slide easily over one another. Common examples are Mica and Graphite.
What are the 6 main crystalline structures of silicate minerals?
6 types of silicate minerals
Minerals that crystallize directly from seawater are examples of?
Minerals that crystallize directly from seawater are examples of hydrogenous sediment.
What is the difference chemicals and minerals?
Minerals are natural chemicals (in the geological sense).
What minerals would be most concentrated that contain heavily weathered sediments?
which of the following minerals would be most concentrated
What type of structures are minerals?
Maybe minerals is a type of structures of phosphates or carbonates
What is used to determine the availability of minerals?
Geological surveying.
What is geological Biomineralization?
•Formation of minerals via biology
Are geological processes directly related to rocks and minerals?
yes
What is geological bioturbation?
Geological bioturbation is the process where organisms, such as burrowing animals or bottom-dwelling organisms, disturb and mix sediments in the Earth's crust. This activity can create structures and patterns in the sediment layers, influencing the distribution and composition of rocks and minerals. It plays an important role in sedimentary processes and can provide insights into past environmental conditions.
