Introduction to plants from which calcite comes, distribution and growth environment

Calcite does not come from plants, but is a mineral product. Its source, distribution and growth environment are mainly related to geological structure and rock type. The following is a detailed introduction to the source, distribution and growth environment of calcite:

  1. Source:

Calcite is a gypsum mineral mainly composed of sulfate minerals. It is mainly formed by geological action in salt lakes, alkaline lakes, sedimentary basins or deposits produced by volcanic eruptions in deep crust rocks.

  1. Distribution:

Calcite is widely distributed on all continents in the world, but its abundance and output vary due to geological conditions and regional differences. The main distribution areas include China, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Australia and other countries and regions.

  1. Growth environment:
  • Geological structure: chrysanthemum is mainly distributed in tectonic active areas, such as the junction of crustal plates, seismic belts, volcanic belts and other areas.
  • Rock type: chrysanthemum is usually produced in sedimentary rocks, gypsum rocks, salt rocks and other rocks, most of which are deposited by ancient oceans, lakes, bays and other terrains.
  1. Formation process:
  • The formation of chrysanthemum is mainly due to the combined effects of geological and hydrological effects. Under the action of geological tectonic movement, the crust changes, causing the minerals in the rock to deposit and crystallize, and finally forming chrysanthemum deposits.
  • Under the action of groundwater containing sulfate, the sulfate in the rock is eroded and dissolved, and then deposited and crystallized to form chrysanthemum minerals.

In general, chrysanthemum is an important sulfate mineral, which is widely distributed on all continents in the world. It is formed in tectonic active areas and specific rock types. It is one of the important objects in geological and mineralogy research.
