Not necessarily. I can evaporate a whole bucket full of pure distilled water and no mineral molecules will do anything!
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.
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. It is homogeneous
False. Dissolved oxygen in ocean water does not cause salinity. Salinity is primarily determined by the amount of dissolved salts in the water, such as sodium and chloride ions. Dissolved oxygen levels are influenced by factors like temperature, depth, and the presence of photosynthetic organisms.
True. Vein minerals typically form when mineral-rich fluids, often originating from deeper geological processes, migrate through fractures in rocks and then precipitate as the fluid cools or changes in pressure. This process can lead to the formation of mineral veins containing various valuable minerals.
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.
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.
True. Some crystals are formed when minerals dissolved in liquids, such as water, solidify and create geometric patterns known as crystals. The process typically involves the slow cooling or evaporation of the liquid, allowing the minerals to come together and form crystalline structures.
False. When seawater is heated until all the water evaporates, salt crystals are left behind, not table salt. Table salt is a refined form of salt that is typically extracted from underground salt deposits or sea salt that has been processed to remove impurities.
Yes. Look at seawater (Saltwater). If it's evaporated you're left with 'salt'. The Dead Sea has more salt content than most other bodies of water and would yield more salt crystals as a result.
False, Geologists identified about 3,800 minerals.
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.
