What are the 2 man-made silicates?
The two man made silicates is fiberfrax which is an aluminium silicate and xonolite which is a calcium silicate.
Is the earth mostly made out of silicates?
Yes, The Earth's crust mostly made up of silicate materials :)
What is the difference ferromagnesian and non-ferromagnesian silicates?
Ferromagnesian Silicates - silicates with iron and/or magnesium in their structure. Most ferromagnesium minerals are dark-colored and more dense than the non-ferromagnesian silicates.
How do sheet silicates differ from framework silicates?
it has 3 oxygen Adams
What are most igneous rocks primarily composed of?
Igneous rocks are mostly made up of silicate minerals. These silicates are of two types, light and dark silicates. The dark silicates are also called ferromagnesian because of the presence of iron and magnesium in them. They include olivine, pyroxene, amphibole and biotite. The light-colored silicates include quartz, muscovite and feldspar. You can learn more about igneous rocks when you check the link.
