What is asteroid mining?
Asteroids may be called minor planets in that they are like Earth or the other planets but much smaller. The idea of asteroid mining is that objects like these that are relatively close to Earth could be mined for substances that are either (a) becoming scarce here, or (b) would be useful or valuable in making journeys to more distant places. There's an article about asteroid mining on wikipedia.
What is the alkali metal of calcium?
It is an Alkaline Earth Metal
How are minerals related to salts?
Salts are compounds that are formed when a metal cation combines with a non-metal anion. Minerals, on the other hand, are naturally occurring inorganic substances that have a fixed chemical composition and crystal structure. Some minerals, such as halite (salt), are composed of salts.
Why can gold be dug out of underground but not aluminium?
Gold is an unreactive metal and can be found in the pure metallic form.Aluminum is a very reactive metal and can only be found combined with other elements as aluminum ores. These ores are readily mined both underground and in open pits.
Are ores mined because they contain beautiful substances?
No, ores are mined for their economic value, such as their metal content or other useful minerals. The beauty or appearance of the substances in the ores is not typically a primary factor in their extraction.
Which metal is mined more than any other?
iron
What do you mix to get gold?
Gold is a naturally occurring element that is found in the Earth's crust. It is not created by mixing other substances together. Gold is typically mined from the Earth as an ore and then refined through processes such as crushing, grinding, and chemical treatment to extract the pure metal.
Is platinum found in gold?
Nope. It is its' own metal. It is mined from the ground just like any other metal.
How do you get the elemet silver?
Silver is typically mined from the earth as a primary metal or extracted as a byproduct of mining other metals such as copper, lead, and zinc. It can also be obtained through recycling from old electronic devices, jewelry, and photographic film. Once mined or recycled, the silver is then processed and refined to obtain the pure metal.
What is the term for rock containing a metal or other useful mineral that can be mined and sold at a profit?
Rock material mined for its constituent elements or minerals is called "ore."
What is the mined compound of a metal?
The mined compound of a metal is typically an ore, which is a naturally occurring mineral containing a high concentration of the metal in a form that can be extracted and processed for use. Ores are often a combination of the metal with other elements or minerals, and must be processed through mining and refining to isolate the desired metal.
How is thorium mined or gathered?
Thorium can be strip mined and it could be deep mined. It is be produced as a byproduct of the production of rare earth elements, and since the current production as a byproduct far exceeds the demand, it is not usually mined.

What does earth do with water and other substances?
it reuses it
How is copper mined and what are the key processes involved in extracting this valuable metal from the earth?
Copper is mined through a process called mining, where large machinery is used to extract the ore from the earth. The key processes involved in extracting copper include crushing and grinding the ore, then separating the copper from other minerals through a process called flotation. The final step is smelting, where the copper is heated to high temperatures to separate it from impurities and create pure copper metal.
What does mining have to do with metal ores?
Mining is the process of extracting valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth, which includes metal ores such as copper, iron, gold, and silver. Metal ores are found in the earth's crust and are mined through various methods like underground mining, open-pit mining, and strip mining to extract the desired metals for use in various industries.
