which of the following minerals would be most concentrated
Texturally mature sediments are typically well-sorted, meaning they have a uniform grain size, and often exhibit rounded grains due to extensive weathering and transport. Compositionally mature sediments contain stable minerals, like quartz, and lack unstable minerals such as feldspar or mica. In contrast, immature sediments tend to be poorly sorted with a mix of grain sizes and angular shapes, and they often include a variety of minerals, indicating limited transport and weathering.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification (cementing, compacting, and hardening) of existing rock or the bones, shells, and pieces of formerly living things. Rocks are weathered and eroded into tiny particles which are then transported and deposited along with other pieces of rock called sediments. Sediments are cemented together and compacted and hardened over time by the weight and pressure of up to thousands of feet of additional sediments above them. Eventually, the sediments are lithified and become solid sedimentary rock. These sediments that come together are known as clastic sediments. Sediments usually sort themselves by the size of the particles during the deposition process so sedimentary rocks tend to contain similarly sized sedimentary particles. An alternative to clastic sediments are chemical sediments which are minerals in solution that harden. The most common chemical sedimentary rock is limestone, which is a biochemical product of calcium carbonate created by the parts of dead creatures. Approximately three-quarters of the earth's bedrock on the continents is sedimentary.
Yes, drink crystals are concentrated forms of beverages that typically contain flavors, sweeteners, and sometimes vitamins or minerals. They are designed to be mixed with water, allowing for a flavorful drink without the bulk of liquid. This concentration makes them convenient for storage and transportation.
Sulphates, phosphates, oxides, halides and carbonates are minerals that do not contain silicon.
Iron ends up in sedimentary rock primarily through the weathering and erosion of igneous and metamorphic rocks that contain iron minerals. As these rocks break down, iron can be transported by water, wind, or ice into sedimentary environments, where it may precipitate or be incorporated into sediments. Over time, these sediments accumulate, and through processes like compaction and cementation, they form sedimentary rock that may contain iron in various forms, such as iron oxides or iron-bearing minerals.
yes
Gold-bearing sediments are rocks or soil deposits that contain gold particles. These sediments typically form in areas where gold-bearing minerals are weathered and eroded by natural processes, such as water or wind, leading to the accumulation of gold particles in sediment deposits. Mining activities often target these sediments to extract the gold.

Ores are mineral deposits that contain metals in concentrated form. Rocks can also contain minerals, but not all rocks are considered to be minerals. Metals are elements that are typically extracted from ores through mining and processing.
Alluvial soil can contain a variety of minerals, but some common ones include quartz, clay minerals, feldspar, calcite, and mica. These minerals are often weathered and transported by water, resulting in their presence in alluvial soil deposits.
Common types of sediments found in solids include sand, silt, clay, and gravel. These sediments can vary in size and composition, with sand being larger particles and clay being fine particles. Sediments can also contain organic materials and minerals.
The C horizon is the weathered parent material from which soil originates. It typically consists of partially weathered rock material and may contain clay minerals, iron oxides, and other elements. It is the deepest layer of the soil profile and lies beneath the B horizon.
Weathered rocks with rust streaks are likely to contain iron minerals that oxidize when exposed to air and water, forming iron oxide, or rust. This process occurs over time through a series of chemical reactions, giving the rocks their characteristic rusty appearance.
All of them contain variable amount of minerals.

no minerals
Sediments which are derived from some schist rock formations might contain garnet.
