Three key processes affecting the distribution of Earth's minerals include plate tectonics, weathering and erosion, and sedimentation. Plate tectonics leads to the formation of mineral deposits through magmatic activity and the movement of continental plates. Weathering and erosion break down rocks, redistributing minerals and altering their concentration in various environments. Lastly, sedimentation processes can concentrate minerals in specific geological formations over time, such as in riverbeds or ocean floors.

Are more than 2000 minerals found in the earths crust?
Yes, there are more than 2,000 different minerals found in the Earth's crust. These minerals vary widely in composition and properties, and they play crucial roles in geological processes and the formation of rocks. The most common minerals include quartz, feldspar, and mica, but the diversity of mineral types is vast, reflecting the complex nature of the Earth's geology.

What are the remaines of living thing that have been preserved in the earths crust?
Fossils, although technically they are not preserved in the earths crust; the minerals in the bones and pore spaces have been replaced by other harder minerals which take much longer to weather.There are a number of different fossilization processes. See this link :How are Fossils Formed?
How does carbon dioxide affect the rate of chemical weathering on earths surface?
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can dissolve in rainwater to form carbonic acid. This acid can react with minerals in rocks, accelerating chemical weathering processes. Over time, this can lead to the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles and minerals, contributing to soil formation and nutrient cycling on Earth's surface.
