First, you need to prospect it, than you need to mine for it. Minerals can appear in caves.

Minerals make up the rocks of earth, so minerals are found wherever there are rocks at the surface. Water too is a mineral so this includes the oceans.
The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is also mostly solid rocks and minerals, but punctuated by malleable areas of semi-solid magma. At the center of the Earth is a hot, dense metal core.
Silicate minerals are the most common group of minerals, comprising about 90% of the Earth's crust. They are characterized by silicon and oxygen atoms linked together with other elements like aluminum, magnesium, and iron.
SiO2 makes up around 50% of the crust in the form of many types of minerals like jasper, flint, chalcedony, opal, quartz.... There is no one mineral that makes up 99% of the earths crust
The most common minerals found in Earth's crust are quartz, feldspar, and mica. These minerals make up a significant portion of the Earth's continental crust and are essential components of many rock types.
Quartz and feldspars are the most common silicate minerals of the crust.
the oceanic plate
the answer to this question is literally earth's crust.
one of the common minerals that make up most of the rocks of the earths crust
Clay and Quartz!
by heat and pressure
one of the common minerals that make up most of the rocks of the earths crust
Sounds like a homework question...
Silicon
one of the common minerals that make up most of the rocks of the earths crust
There are ten minerals that are so common that they make up 90% of the Earth's crust. These are quartz, orthoclase, plagioclase, muscovite, biotite, calcite, dolomite, halite, gypsum, and ferromagnesian minerals.
