Iron is the mineral that accounts for approximately 35% of the Earth's composition. It is a crucial element in the Earth's core and mantle, as well as in the composition of rocks and minerals throughout the planet.
Good question! I've done much research on this for my Physical Science class. But the most information I've found and that I can give you is that iron is the predominant metal/element of Earth's core. Iron (and Nickel) mainly take over the Earth's inner and outer cores. But most of the research I have done tells me the Earth is made of 5% iron. You're Welcome :D <3, Cheyenne
Hematite is composed of approximately 70% iron by weight.
Is iron abundant here on Earth? Sure. There is plenty of iron ore to be mined on Earth.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was carrying approximately 26,116 tons of iron ore when it sank.
iron is approximately worth $1.50 per pound

In terms of weight, iron makes up approximately 5% of the earths crust, the fourth most abundant element in the crust. However, remember Earth's Core is nearly all Iron.

600 shekels of iron would weigh approximately 7.2 kilograms.

There is no part of the earth's crust that is mostly composed of just iron. However the rocks composing the oceanic crust (basalt and gabro for example) are enriched in iron and magnesium minerals when compared to the rocks forming the continental crust. In terms of the whole Earth, the core is enriched in iron with an estimate that it is composed of approximately 85% iron.
Approximately 25% of the earth is dry land.
Iron Bisglycinate contains about 20% elemental iron, so 25 mg of Iron Bisglycinate would contain approximately 5 mg of elemental iron.
