What minerals are in mercurys rock?

Answer 1

In the planet Mercury, closest to the Sun? Difficult to know for sure, because we've never landed a probe there. But Mercury is the second-densest planet, after Earth. So we expect that Mercury has a fairly large iron core, with a crust at least vaguely similar to Earth's, made up of silicate rock.

Answer 2

Mercury is an element. The ore of mercury is called cinnabar mercury sulfide (HgS).

Mercury is also a planet - we do not know exactly what minerals make up the planet but we do know that it has a large Iron rich core.

Answer 3

There are a few ores of mercury but cinnabar is the main one. Cinnabar is the only ore of the metal worth considering. Almost the whole supply of the world is obtained from Cinnabar which is a Mercury Sulphide and contains 86% Mercury and 14% Sulfur.

Answer 4

Mercury's surface is composed mostly of basaltic rock, which contains minerals such as feldspar, pyroxene, and olivine. These minerals form through cooling and solidification of molten rock on the planet's surface.
