I found that idea in field works that I have very good experience on it.
Dear Dr. Gholamreza Fotoohi Rad,
Info presented below may be useful:
While it is true that various mineral resources can be found in different tectonic environments, it's important to note that not all mineral resources are equally distributed across all types of tectonic settings. The distribution of minerals is influenced by a complex interplay of geological processes, including plate tectonics, magmatism, metamorphism, weathering, and hydrothermal activity. Here are a few points to consider:
While mineral resources can be found in a wide range of tectonic environments, their distribution is far from uniform. Some environments are more favorable for certain types of mineral deposits due to the specific geological processes at play. Therefore, while the idea that mineral resources can be found in all tectonic environments has some basis, it's important to understand the nuances and specific geological factors that influence the formation and distribution of these resources.
Dear Prof. Len
Hi OK many thanks for your excellent and complete answer.
Best wishes
I think any mineral resources can be in all of tectonic environments.
I think any mineral ore bodies can be in any tectonic environment, because tectonic environments and magmatic, sedimentary and metamorphic activities can ba changed in passing of geological times. That it can produce all of ore deposits in any past tectonic environment that later has changed previous tectonic environment.
