Where in the earths crust must a mineral occur?

A mineral must occur in the Earth's crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. This layer extends from the surface down to about 50 kilometers deep. Minerals are typically formed through geological processes in the crust, making this layer the most common place to find them.

Facts about the earths crust?

The crust is about 40 kilometers thick in many places. The crust is the coldest layer of all the layers of earth. The crust makes up less than 1% of the earths mass. The crust is mainly made up of silicon,aluminum,calcium,sodium, and potassium.


How does a strike slip fault lead to an earthquake?

An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.


Earths crust is Crude oil found?

Yes, crude oil is found deep beneath the Earth's crust, usually trapped in porous rock formations. It is formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient marine organisms that were buried and subjected to heat and pressure. Oil exploration involves drilling deep into the Earth's crust to extract crude oil reserves.
