They survey the surface for evidence of copper or copper oxides, minerals that have formed from the oxidation of copper. Copper is often times concentrated in areas of magmatic intrusions, where hot fluids have assisted in its separation from other material.

∙ 15y ago== The search for a specific mineral deposit will begin with a general overview of possible areas based on their geology. Many areas in the U.S. and elsewhere have already been mapped geologically. If not, the area would need to be studied to determine it's makeup. Surface features and surface minerals will be noted. Stream deposits will be analyzed to determine if a mineral deposit exists upstream. The geologic age and type of rock strata will be determined by core sampling and laboratory work. Previous mining claims and production data will also be checked.

How can knowledge and understanding of Black Smokers be used to locate existing mineral deposits?

What kind of rock is fluorite found in?
Burin Peninsula, Newfoundland, and Canada.
How do you dissolve sand in a block storm water pipe?
Sand cannot be dissolved because it is a form of silica and there is no solvent for it. You will have to mechanically break through the sand and then flush the particles a away with significant amounts of water.Snaking (rodidng ) normally is not used to scour a line or remove mineral deposits. In some cases a "chain knocker" is used but if the piping is in questionable condition then any defects will appearThe ideal way to remove scale and mineral deposits is the use of a water Jetter as the high pressure stream scours the line the volume of watter will help flush it away

Where was salt founded?
Salt used in cooking is derived from seawater (sea salt) or from layers of salt in mineral deposits (rock salt or mineral salt).
What are the methods of facts findings?

What is a Beryl?
A beryllate is an anion BeO22- or any salt containing this anion.
What is definition of borax?
A white mineral in some alkaline salt deposits, used in making glass and ceramics, as a metallurgical flux, and as an antiseptic.
How do you clean tiles?
There are chemicals available in pool stores to help remove film or light mineral deposits. Once mineral deposits become thick you can use pumice. If that doesn't work or is too difficult you may need a professional. There are several methods they use. The oldest is probably mechanical devices like wire wheels or grinders. They can scratch the surface. Then there are glass bead blasters that use air pressure to blast the deposits off. Beads may cause pitting and dulling of the surface. The latest method (about 5 yrs old) is water pressure used to propel mineral salts at the surface. Since the salts are softer than the tile they never cause damage.
Is nuclear power a renewable energy resource?
No! It is a non-renewable energy resource because the mineral uranium which is used as he fuel has to be mined from deposits in the Earth.
Will using vinegar to remove mineral deposits damage the absorption sleeve in a humidifier?
I haven't seen any damage. I have used it on the same sleeve multiple times.
What technologies are used in mining?
There are some technological methods that are used in mining are:Open-cast mining : Open-cast mining is done when a mineral is located very close to the surface. In the open-cast mining, different minerals are taken out by removing the surface layer. Open-cast mining is famous for coal mining in India and many other countries.Shaft mining : The word 'shaft' refers to deep bores. In the shaft mining, deep bores are created to reach mineral deposits. This is because, these deposits lie at great depths. Petroleum and natural gas are extracted by shaft mining.
