Gold is often found close to the Earth's surface because it is a heavy metal that doesn't easily break down in the environment, so it doesn't get buried deep over time. Gold is also often associated with quartz veins and other rocks that are found in the upper crust of the Earth.
Gold found on the surface is called alluvial gold.

It can be both. Right now, the largest gold mine in Australia is an open pit mine. However, The Homestake mine in South Dakota was 8000 ft deep- an underground mine with 375 miles of passageways. It all depends on where the gold is located.
A person who searches for surface gold could be called a "prospector."
Gold miners mined underground to access deeper veins of gold that could not be easily reached through surface mining methods. Underground mining allowed miners to extract gold from deposits that were buried deep beneath the earth's surface, leading to potentially higher yields of gold.
The air is close to the surface of the earth because gravity holds it there
Because the roots of the saguaro cactus are just below the surface.
Gold found on the surface is called alluvial gold.
Because of the heat of the surface were it is so close to the sun.
close to the surface
Gold.
Arteries are not close to the surface in most places on the body because they need to be protected. But there are many places, called endangerment sites, where they are close to the surface, so health care workers need to be cautious when working in these areas. Usually, in most place on the body arteries and veins are close together, so are nerves.
because they want to swim close to the surface
It can be both. Right now, the largest gold mine in Australia is an open pit mine. However, The Homestake mine in South Dakota was 8000 ft deep- an underground mine with 375 miles of passageways. It all depends on where the gold is located.
The gravitational pull keeps the Earth's atmosphere close to the surface...
Gold is currently at 1116.65
depends. how close do you mean. Because technically everything in the cell is close to the surface because of how small it is.
