Question
The diagram below shows the distribution of past gold and mercury mines in the state of California. Mines are built in locations with large deposits of a particular resource.
As can be inferred from the diagram, gold and mercury are unequally deposited in California. What can be concluded based on this unequal distribution of resources?
A.
Different geologic processes must have occurred in different parts of California in the past.
B.
The same geologic processes must have occurred in all parts of California in the past.
C.
The location of natural resources in California cannot be predicted based on past geologic processes.
D.
California experienced very few geologic changes in the past.

Based on the information provided, the conclusion that can be drawn from the unequal distribution of gold and mercury mines in California is:
**A. Different geologic processes must have occurred in different parts of California in the past.**
This option suggests that the varying locations of resource deposits indicate that distinct geologic processes contributed to the formation of these resources in specific areas.
