12 facts about the Carajas Project
1. The Carajas is an open pit mine where minerals are removed from the surface one layer at a time
2. The Carajas mine is one of the world's largest deposits of iron ore. It stretches across more than six miles of rainforest in the northeastern Brazil
3. In 2007, 296 million metric tons of iron ore were dug out of the mine, which is estimated to contain a total of 18 billion tons of iron ore, gold, manganese, copper, and nickel
4. The mine is one of scores of mining, hydropower, agricultural, and road projects that are increasingly removing the world's largest rainforest
5. The area is estimated to hold enough reserves to carry on mining for the next 400 years
6. Most of the ore is taken 690km from the mine to the port of Sao Luis on the Atlantic coast by rail
7. It is exported to countries such as Japan, Korea and Germany. The remainder is used in Brazilian steelworks. These provide finished steel for the home market
8. The project has aimed to restrict the numbers of trees being demolished in the rainforest and has only cut down trees on 1.6% of the area it occupies
9. The Carajas mine depends on overseas markets to purchase much of its iron ore
10. To the north-west of Carajas, on the south bank of the River Amazon, is the large bauxite mine, (used for making aluminum) at Trombetas
11. Mining and refining these valuable metals need large amounts of electricity which has therefore been provided by the Tucurui HEP
12. Building the railway to Sao Luis caused further dispute amongst the natives living there
It depends on what you mean by "start." Break ground? Not sure on that. But I can tell you the World Bank approved funding in 1982. Kim Henderson Thousand Oaks, California
Project management is measured in terms of success and effectiveness through key performance indicators (KPIs) such as meeting project deadlines, staying within budget, achieving project goals, and satisfying stakeholders. Additionally, project management success can be evaluated based on the quality of deliverables, team performance, and overall project outcomes.
In your preface for a pollution project, you can briefly introduce the topic of pollution, explain the significance of addressing this issue, mention the objectives of your project, and express your motivation or dedication to raising awareness and finding solutions to environmental pollution. It's also a good idea to acknowledge any sources of inspiration or support that have helped shape your project.
Yes, creating a cloud in a bottle can be considered a simple science project. It involves creating a cloud-like formation inside a clear bottle by condensing water vapor through a sudden change in pressure or temperature. This project demonstrates concepts related to gas laws, condensation, and cloud formation in a hands-on way.
The abstract of a crystal egg geodes science project would summarize the purpose of the project, the methods used to create the crystal egg geodes, the results obtained from the experiment, and the conclusions drawn from those results. It should provide a brief overview of the entire project in a concise and informative manner.
The Carajas Project is in north-eastern Brazil , in Amazon rainforest . :)
The Grand Carajas project is a very extensive conservation project to restore and protect the Brazilian Rain Forests from the people who destroy the forests for its timber.

It Was To Dig Ores And Stuff
yes it is

The Grand Carajas Plan is an economic development project in Brazil aimed at promoting industrialization and infrastructure development in the Carajas region. It includes initiatives such as mining, agriculture, and transportation projects to stimulate economic growth in the area.
Scinetists have predicted that it will last for around about 400 years
because it has killed many Brazilian tribes because off meazles
It is there because in 1967, large deposits of high grade iron-ore were found.

there isn't many this project is a way to get Brazil more money and turn them into an MEDC but for the rest of the world apart from the products.thanks Senior
