Because it needs to be processed into the metal by smelting. Ore is a compound of the metal and oxygen or other elements, and often admixed with other, unwanted minerals such as silica.
you get it from the ground either by using a ore or extracting it from the ground
A person who digs for metal ore in the ground is typically called a miner. Miners extract various types of metals such as gold, silver, copper, and iron from the earth for industrial use.
The miners dug deep into the ground and mined gold ore.
Extracting gold from ore. Gold comes in small concentrations in the ore mined from the ground so they soak it with cyanaide which binds to the gold and then they collect the cyanide and use another chemical reaction to separate it from the gold.
These are known as "ore drifts" or "adits." They are horizontal tunnels that follow the ore veins underground to extract minerals. Miners use adits to access the deposit without having to excavate from the surface, making it a more efficient and cost-effective method of extraction.
Because you need heat Because the Tin Ore contains Tin oxide which is a mixture of 2 oxygen (O²) atoms and 1 tin atom (Sn), making the formula for tin ore SnO². Because the atoms are joined making a compound you cant seperate them just by crushing because it will just crush both atoms not just the tin. So you need another atom to come and take the oxygen. Which if you use charcoal (which contains carbon) and smelter you get Tin and carbon dioxide instead of having tin ore and charcoal! (Basically you cant physically seperate them like that because they are joined!)
Miners use heavy machinery such as excavators and drills to extract iron ore from the ground. Once the ore is extracted, it is transported to processing plants where it is crushed and refined to extract the iron metal.
Metals like gold, silver, and copper can be found in a pure form and used straight out of the ground due to their natural occurrence in a native state. These metals require minimal processing for use in various applications.
you use an ore to row
Ore is a common name used for mineral deposits that contain valuable metals or elements that can be extracted for use. Some examples include iron ore, copper ore, and gold ore.
The Egyptians that could get kohl (ground lead ore back then) used it. Everyone else used soot--which was probably the best idea, because putting lead ore around your eyes is really dangerous.
Yo Face Iron Ore??
