The main type of mineral found in the Earth's surface is silicate minerals, which are composed of silicon and oxygen. They make up about 90% of the Earth's crust and include important minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. These minerals are fundamental to the formation of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Non-silicate minerals, while less abundant, include carbonates, oxides, and sulfates, among others.
