Wednesday 4/24/19 Bell Ringer: Estimate how many pounds of copper you will use in your lifetime. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) estimates that every American born in 2008 will use 1,309 pounds of copper during their lifetime for necessities, lifestyles and health.

3 TYPES OF MINING Underground Mining = used to access minerals VERY far below the surface. Strip Mining = used to mine minerals that are located close to the surface. Open Pit Mining= used to extract resources at the surface, but can go deeper

Natural Resource Materials made from Earth’s processes that we mine from the Earth for our use. Ore = A naturally occurring solid material from which a metal or valuable mineral can be profitably extracted.

Part 2: Evidence Card Analysis Research Question: Why is copper only found in certain parts of the world? Part 2: Evidence Card Analysis Work with your hip partner to analyze the two evidence cards. Answer the questions in your packet using complete sentences!

Porphyry Copper Deposits The subduction of oceanic crust results in making hydrothermal solutions that eventually harden near the surface forming mineral deposits.

Sediment-Hosted Copper Deposits Water seeps into the group and pulls Copper (CU) elements from the rock.
