What are the two most common silicate in the Earth's crust?
Quartz and feldspars are the most common silicate minerals of the crust.
Why is oxygen present in most mineral groups?
Because oxygen is very reactive and can form an immense number of compounds. Also oxygen is very abundant in the nature.Oxygen is a very common gas in the atmosphere. Minerals are made by oxidation of elements. So oxygen is present in most of them.
What are the two most abundant elements in the human body?
The two most abundant elements are carbon and hydrogen. The 6 most common, in order of abundance are C, H, N, O, P and S.
What do the four elements most abundant in life - carbon oxygen hydrogen and nitrogen - have in common?
carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen - have in common
What element has the greatest abundance in the Earth's crust?
Oxygen is the most common and abundant element in the Earth's crust having 47% of the mass.
What minerals are most common in detrital sedimentary rocks and why are these minerals so abundant?
We know silicate minerals are the most abundant in detrital sedimentary rocks.Quartzv is a tectosilicate mineral.So quartz is the most abundant and other silicate minerals are also very common in these rocks.
What are The 2 most common minerals in earths crust?
Quartz and feldspars are the most common silicate minerals of the crust.
What is the most common class of minerals on Earth?
The silicate group of minerals are the most abundant on the Earth.
Why are oxygen and silicon the most common elements found in minerals?
Silicon and oxygen are two of the most abundant elements in the universe. Oxygen will readily bond with silicon and metals to form minerals. Other similarly abundant elements either sank into Earth's interior or tended to form volatile compounds that were driven away from Earth by the solar wind when the planets were still forming.
