Natural resource deposits very somewhat in their cause. For example, the Sudbury nickel mines result from a meteor landing there in ancient times. - a meteor rich in nickel. Iron, is a very common element in the Earth's interior, and comes out as the black sand from volcanoes. Sulphur is deposited as the native element around fumaroles in a hot spring region. Many other ores arrive as sulphides or oxides, depending on their history. Salt and Gypsum form large deposits where they were precipitated from ancient water bodies.
