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

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

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