How did the gold mines on Earth form?

Although gold is

Although gold is the "gold" and the national reserve is chosen by many countries, but the world so far has not known how the gold mines on our planet form.

Discover the formation of gold mines on the planet

This secret was revealed after Australian scientists published their work in the Journal of Natural Geography on March 17.

Scientists say that when a small earthquake occurs, large or small, the Earth's crust is often filled with fluid- filled gaps (water and gas). The pressure changes abruptly in the void causing fluid to move quickly and evaporate, while gold molecules melt in the fluid almost deposited immediately. Many repeated earthquakes will lead to the formation of large gold mines.

According to scientists, it will take nearly 100,000 years to form a gold mine of 100 tons.

In their study, Australian scientists used numerical models to determine the pressure drop in fluid storage in an earthquake. By doing this, they answered the long-standing question of how gold condensed from a melted state to a solid state.
