Pre-mining/fire ecology Page 12 Create your graph on left side page 12 1. Label graph mining/fire ecology 2. graph pre test write pre reflection 3. tape your mining learning target to the right side of page 12 http://www.tincherscience.weebly.com

I’ll know I’ve got it when… Learning target I can describe why mining is needed. Today I am… learning about the different ways people mine. So that I’ll be able to… understand why we mine and how we can make mining sustainable. I’ll know I’ve got it when… I can write at least two sentences explaining why we mine and how we can make mining sustainable.

Why is mining important? Everything we depend on is mined for its production.

Why should we be aware of mineral use? Minerals are a finite resource! There are 21 minerals identified as important to our health.

Example: Common kitchen items with minerals…..

Mining is the removal of materials from the earth.

A deposit that contains enough materials to make a profit. Ore A deposit that contains enough materials to make a profit.

Largest copper mine in the U.S. Morenci Mine Largest copper mine in the U.S.

What types of resources are mined? Metallic minerals: Copper, iron, silver Nonmetallic minerals: Limestone, salt, gemstones Fuel and water: Coal, natural gas, groundwater

Layers of surface soil/rock are removed to expose the resource. Strip mining Layers of surface soil/rock are removed to expose the resource. Shallow surfaces

Vertical tubes are dug deep into the ground. Subsurface mining Vertical tubes are dug deep into the ground. Resources are deep underground.
