Continental drift: Why the need for critical minerals might change the way we define Earth's zones
Critical minerals such as nickel ... created by melting and other chemical reactions. New oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges by melting the mantle, leading to a uniform crustal thickness.

Where should we look for new metals critical for green energy technology? Volcanoes may point the way
at a mid-ocean ridge where vast amounts of magma rush to the surface and form new oceanic crust. As this magma migrates towards Earth's surface, it cools down and new minerals begin to form.
