What mining and minerals are in antarctica?

There is no evidence that Antarctica even has minerals present.

None. The Antarctic Treaty forbids commercial activities such as mining.

There is no mining in Antarctica.

There is no mining allowed in Antarctica.

There are no countries mining in Antarctica. Amongst other things, the Antarctic Treaty prevents mining in Antarctica.

There IS no mining in Antarctica- it is protected by international treaty.

There is no mining allowed in Antarctica.

There IS no mining in Antarctica- it is protected by international treaty.

There is no mining in Antarctica. It is forbidden by the Antarctic Treaty.

There is no mining in Antarctica: The Antarctic Treaty forbids it.

There is no mining allowed in Antarctica, per the Antarctic Treaty.

There is no mining in Antarctica, no mining south of 60 degrees S, per the Antarctic Treaty.

no mining in Antarctica my help but only for 30 years or so mining can disturb Antarctica global warming and the ozone layer

There is no mining activity in Antarctica: it is prohibited by the Antarctic Treaty.

No mining is permitted in Antarctica: it is forbidden by The Antarctic Treaty.

There is no mining in Antarctica -- it is forbidden by The Antarctic Treaty System.

There no advantages: mining is not allowed in Antarctica, based on The Antarctic Treaty.

Today, there is no mining activity in Antarctica. This preserves Antarctica's pristine condition.

Nothing. Amongst other things, the Antarctic Treaty prevents mining in Antarctica.

Mining in Antarctica is currently prohibited by member states of the Antarctic Treaty System.

There is no mining in Antarctica, thus no deaths involved in this activity.

Economical pressure on Antarctica

If it was not grown, it was mined. Metals and minerals come from mining. The computer you are using to read this was made with minerals and metals from mining. The wire that carries electricity to your house came from mining (much of the electricity came from mining too).

Due to the Antarctic Treaty, mining is prohibited. Iron ore, chromium, copper, gold, nickel, platinum and other minerals, and coal and hydrocarbons have been found in small, uncommercial quantities.

Antarctica has large deposits of coal and iron ore. The Antarctic ice sheet is up to 4 km thick and Antarctica is a long way from anywhere. The minerals and ores would have to be transported over the treacherous Southern Ocean to world markets, so quantity versus cost of extraction makes mining non-viable at present. Currently, the Antarctic Treaty and the Madrid Protocol prevent mining indefinitely.

No. No mining is allowed on the Antarctic continent.

There is no mining or oil exploration in Antarctica: it's too cold.

The Antarctic Treaty prohibits mining south of 60 degrees S, which includes Antarctica.

There has never been any mining in Antarctica. The Madrid Protocol, which bans mining in Antarctica, is part of the Antarctic Treaty; it was signed in 1991 by the parties that signed the Antarctic Treaty. It is due for review in 2041.

The Antarctic Treaty, which governs all land on earth south of 60 degrees S, prohibits mining, so no mining will occur on Antarctica.

No, the Antarctic Treaty and the subsequent 1991 Madrid Protocol, amongst other things, places an indefinite ban on mining and exploration for minerals.

There was never mining in Antarctica -- it never started. The Antarctic Treaty, which came into effect in 1961 prohibits all commercial activity, including mining.

We can get it from miming and food. But mostly mining, there are different kinds of mining that we can get our minerals from. Hope this helps

There is gold in Antarctica, but it is not believed to be present in large quantities sufficient to warrant mining. In addition, there is a worldwide ban on any sort of mining in and around the continent of Antarctica.

You can't even mine in Antarctica for a start!!

Mining in Antarctica is banned because it is the onlypristine and untouched environment in the world. Mining is banned because it wreaks the environment of Antarctica for all its fauna and flora and also makes the hole in the ozone layer grow bigger.

Mining is not permitted in Antarctica; there have never been any successful mining operations there -- it's too cold.

The Antarctic Treaty precludes any commercial mining on land south of 60 degrees S, which includes Antarctica.

There is no mining or oil exploration in Antarctica: The Antarctic Treaty forbids any such work.

Disadvantages are: Extinction of animal species Pollution Poisoning the water with fuels etc from mining equiptment Advantages are: Scientific results on how the animals survive and research into how the krill are surviving and research into the minerals and phytoplankton. Hope this helps, :)

antarctica is important to Australia because it is used for the minerals. Australia thinks that using the minerals in antarctica will help the world on its abundance of minerals.

There is no mining in Antarctica, per the Antarctic Treaty.

something that affects the land by mining is that when you mine you tale minerals out of the earth and the earth needs minerals to survive

There is no mining on the Antarctic continent: it is prohibited by the Antarctic Treaty.

To retrive minerals which are useful.

There is no mining allowed in Antarctica under The Antarctic Treaty.

it would be an impact on the animals by it destroying Antarctica

Subsurface mining, is the extraction of ores and minerals, which lie underground.

Scientific data is the only result of any kind of 'mining' in Antarctica. All other kinds of mining are forbidden under the Antarctic Treaty.

There is no mining allowed in Antarctica: it is forbidden by the Antarctic Treaty, which governs earth south of 60 Degrees South Latitude.
