discontinuous series (left hand limb), and the residual phases, which are listed in their relative sequence of crystallization. The discontinuous

Classification of Minerals
The classification of minerals is based on their chemistry. The following mineral classes are based on the character of their common anions:
-Silicates (SiO44-)
Silicates (SiO44-)
Oxides (O2-)
Sulfides (S2-)
Sulfates (SO42-)
Native elements, e.g. Au.
- The relative abundance of elements in the Earth’s crust (see Structure of Earth) determines which minerals form.
+ The relative abundance of elements in the Earth’s crust (see Structure of Earth) determines which minerals form.
Oxygen is the most abundant anion in the Earth’s crust.
Thus, the crust can be seen as a tight package of oxygen anions (O2-), which are bonded by larger cations,
such as Si4+, Mg2+, or Al3+.

The crust is the upper most part of the earth, with depths ranging from an average of 7 km in the oceans, to an average of 38 km in continental crust.
