Which mineral is mined for its iron content?
Iron is a mineral. A raw mineral from which iron may be extracted is hematite - as one example.
Why is soil such an important resource?
Without soil, many of our crops on land would wither away because soil is one of the main mineral and nutrients contributors. (:
What is one way that mining for mineral resources damages land?
Increases soil erosion.
Is bedrock the part of soil that consists of decaying organic matter?
No, bedrock is not the part of soil that consists of decaying organic matter.Specifically, bedrock comprises one of six soil horizons or layers. Organic animal and plant matter decompose in the topmost layer and supply the layer immediately below with the humus content of A horizon's humus-mineral mix. Bedrock is found in sixth, bottommost layer which includes unweathered rock.
What are the components in soil?
The components of true soil are the following: Water, minerals, rocks,This may not be true because I didn't do that much research This statement is indeed false.The true components of TRUE SOIL are actually Minerals, Bacteria and Organic Materials, Moisture, And Air. Without one of these ingredients present in the soil it is not true soil.----------------There are 4.-mineral matter-organic matter-water-air`Tim lepuck-----------------------Acually, i just learned this a couple days ago and my teacher said that there are three:~Organic matter~Sediments~Humus*FabulousStar676

What is the volume of one ton of topsoil?
Depends on the moisture content and the type of soil.
How can one measure the available acid content in SRB?
using diff techniques
What is one What are fact about Mars?
Because of the high iron content of the soil, Mars is known as the Red Planet!

Is subsoil best for growing crops?
No. Subsoil is the layer of soil beneath the topsoil, which is the best for growing crops. Subsoil, depending on the soil type, is usually where the finer mineral commponents lie, such as clays or calcic materials. They usually have little or no organic matter content, and can be somewhat impermeable to water and plant nutrients. Some shallow soils even have bedrock as one component.
What is the energy cost of producing gold from minerals?
No one answer. It would depend on the gold content of the mineral. The higher the gold content, the lower the energy cost. The deeper the mine, the higher the cost.
Why Land is considered as a natural resouece?
Mineral content, for one thing.... what is on it, for another... potential for income-production, for a third... the list goes on and on...
What is the scale used to measure the softast mineral?
The Mohs Hardness Scale. PS: Talc is one of the softest minerals
