False. Most minerals are compounds, which means that they are combinations of elements. Additionally, some minerals are elements by themselves.
False. Most minerals are compounds, meaning they are composed of two or more elements bonded together. This is what gives minerals their unique chemical and physical properties.
False. The bulk of the rock-forming minerals in the continental crust are composed of a variety of elements, not just 10. The most common elements found in these minerals include oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
True. The dissolved minerals trapped in magma create gases that are released under pressure, causing the magma to rise and eventually leading to a volcanic eruption.
A is false - Rocks are composed of minerals not the other way round. B, C and D are all true.
False. Diamond and quartz are minerals composed of multiple elements. Diamond is composed of carbon atoms, while quartz is composed of silicon and oxygen atoms.
True. Veins minerals are deposited from solutions like water that flow through cracks in rocks, carrying dissolved minerals which crystallize and form veins as the solution evaporates or cools.
True. Ores are minerals that contain valuable metals or elements that can be extracted economically through mining and processing.
Not necessarily. I can evaporate a whole bucket full of pure distilled water and no mineral molecules will do anything!
False, Geologists identified about 3,800 minerals.
