In an area where large deposits of a desired mineral are found, the two correct answers are:

  1. The area will experience a short-term economic boom - The discovery of valuable mineral deposits often leads to increased investment, job creation, and economic activity in the short term as companies begin mining operations and related services grow.

  2. The area will experience a downturn once all the available resources are mined - After the initial boom and extraction of resources, the economy can suffer a downturn due to the depletion of the mineral, which can lead to job losses and reduced economic activity.

The other options (long-term job security and population decrease in the short term) are less likely to be true. Typically, areas may not have long-term job security in mining once resources are depleted, and while it is possible for population decreases to occur over time, the initial response to a new industry is often population growth as people move in for jobs.
