Where do you find strontium?

Strontium is one of the most common elements found on earth. It is mainly found in igneous rock, and sedimentary formations.

What would react more vigorously with water strontium or calcium?

Strontium. They both have two electrons in their outermost energy level, however since the electrons are farther from the nucleus in Strontium than in Calcium, Strontium is more readily able to shed these two electrons to achieve a more stable state with it's outermost energy level being complete (with 8 electrons).
