Question

Which of the following makes the Cascade Mountains a good place for mining? (2 points)

Ice-age glaciers left behind large deposits of gravel and sand useful for building materials.

The mountains are close to sea ports that enable import of goods.

Answer 1

Ice-age glaciers left behind large deposits of gravel and sand useful for building materials.

Those glacial deposits create accessible mineral resources; being close to seaports to import goods does not make the area good for mining.
