The rainforest has a lot of minerals, due to the PH of its soil (Potential Hydrogen). Since the rainforest is so high in bio-diversity, over many years plants and animals have been broken down once dead and have eventually turned into carbon (graphite, used in lead pencils) and into many fossil fuels. The north Amozon rainforest has a lot of gold, but is dangerously contaminated in Mercury. When the miners mined the gold, many water species dies due to the minin affects of mercury.
