Minerals are mined both at the earth’s surface and below it.

TRUE

Explanation:

Minerals are those that occur naturally, inorganic solid compounds. They have a fixed internal arrangement of atoms, forming a specific structure. These minerals are formed both at the earth's surface and below the crust. Minerals combine to form rocks. These minerals forms due to the crystallization of magma at or below the surface, forming intrusive igneous rocks or lava.

Some minerals also form when a solution undergoes evaporation at a considerably slower rate. For example, halite (table salt) is formed in this way taking millions of years.

Thus, these minerals that are formed by the crystallization and evaporation process are found to be present both at and below the surface and are obtained from it.

Hence, the above statement is true.

the correct answer is: d. the saltine and pretzel are made of flour, yeast, and baking soda, and salt. the pecan contains no flour but it does contain fats. the pecan is a nut that can be consumed as a healthy snack. first of all, pecans are a source of fat (monounsaturated fat), but they provide less fat than some other nuts. pecans are a rich source of dietary fiber, manganese magnesium, phosphorus, thiamin, vitamin e…

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
