The formation of minerals, the formation of fossil fuels, and the formation of soil have an important similarity; all are distributed by geological processes. However, different processes result in uneven distribution of the resources. Plate boundaries can move fossil fuel deposits and mineral ore deposits far from previous plate boundaries, while weathering, erosion, and deposition result in the formation of different soil types in different locations.
9. Explain to your classmate how there can be mineral deposits located far from current plate boundaries.
• The mineral deposits have no geological explanation.
• The mineral deposits were moved away from plate boundaries as the plates moved and collided over many years.
• The mineral deposits were moved to new underground locations by early miners
• These mineral deposits were formed by weathering, erosion, and deposition.
• The mineral deposits have no geological explanation.
• The mineral deposits were moved away from plate boundaries as the plates moved and collided over many years.
• The mineral deposits were moved to new underground locations by early miners
• These mineral deposits were formed by weathering, erosion, and deposition.
Mineral deposits can be located far from current plate boundaries due to the movement and collision of tectonic plates over many years. Through the process of plate tectonics, mineral deposits can be carried to new locations as the plates shift and interact with one another. This movement can result in mineral deposits being found in areas that are now far from their original formation site.
One of the answer choices please
The mineral deposits were moved away from plate boundaries as the plates moved and collided over many years.
Thx
