in earth science lab 2 mineral identification-part I and part II questions: how many different minerals have been identified?

Geography
1 answer:
Nataliya [291]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<u>There exists about 3,800 minerals on earth i.e approx  30 to 50 new mineral discovered each day</u>.

Explanation:

  • The earth is divided into various zones and these zones contain lots of mineral deposits and most commonly <u>occurring deposits include, quartz, the mica, the olivine, and feldspar. </u>Quads and silica are the minerals most often identified as roughly 60 of the earth's crust are made up of feldspar.
  • Mica sheets can found in the form of thin sheets of white and dark bands of rocks. As most minerals are identified by there physical properties like hardness their luster their color, specific gravity, and cleavage, etc.
  • The native class of minerals is based on elements like the silicates, oxides, sulfides, sulfates, the halides, the carbonates, and phosphates, etc. All based on all the three rocks like the igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.

How does spectral class relate to temperature? ​
patriot [66]

Answer:

The spectral types and sub-classes represent a temperature sequence, from hotter (O stars) to cooler (M stars), and from hotter (subclass 0) to cooler (subclass 9). The temperature defines the star's "color" and surface brightness. ... Stars are also classified by luminosity class.

Hi anyone able to explain fully about the continental-continental plate convergence ? I’m a little confused , thanks!!
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

1. Continental-continental convergence are both <em>continental crust</em> plates.

2. Buoyancy basically means these plates are light float on top of the Asthenosphere.

Explanation:

1. To go a little more into detail, this type of convergence ocurrs when two plates made of continental crust (not oceanic) collide. In the case of ocean-continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust sinks underneath the lighter continental crust.

In this scenario, we have two plates, neither of which want to sink, so instead of going down they just crumple and fold and keep colliding. This collision creates very high mountain ranges such as the Himalaya and usually doesn't contain any volcanic activity because no magma is capable of penetrating through so much crustal material.

2. As for why continental crust is buoyant and doesn't sink has much to do with its composition. Continental crust is made mostly of silicate material. This is very different from oceanic crust which is made of basaltic rocks and is therefore heavier. The term buoyancy refers to the 'floating action' of the continental crust on top of the uppermost mantle.
