Taconite is a low-grade iron ore that is found around Lake Superior. The iron-bearing rock is found interlaced with quartz, cher

t and other minerals. The iron is separated out of the taconite using magnets so that it can be processed to for use in the production of steel in nearby states. What statement does not represent a concern by the Department of Natural Resources about the use of taconite as a source of iron.
A) The process to separate iron from taconite requires transportation by large vehicles over public roads.
B) The separation of taconite involves chemicals that may lead to air and water and pollution.
C) The area where taconite is mined is characterized by wetlands and streams.
D) Taconite is a non-renewable resource.

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Taconite is a silica-rich and low-grade ore of iron. This iron ore was initially considered to be a waste rock due to the abundance of higher-grade natural iron ore. But now, with the decreasing amount of natural iron ore, the use of taconite is increasing. They are extremely hard rock and the iron ore present in this rock is extracted by the use of magnetism. Due to the heavier weight, these rocks are needed to be transported from one place to another using very heavy vehicles.

These rocks are obtained by the smelting process in which carbon is used to heat the iron ore. This emission of carbon into the atmosphere can contribute to pollution.  

These rocks are usually found in the streams and wetland areas. They are abundantly present on earth and not a non-renewable resource.

Hence, the most appropriate answer is option (D).

Soloha48 [4]

It is not possible to determine this from this info. Thus, option "B" is correct.

<h3>What is standard error of mean?</h3>

The standard error of mean is computed by dividing the standard deviation to the square root of sample size. It can be represented as

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is known as the standard error of mean because it measures the accuracy of sample mean as compared to population mean.

Thus, option "B" is correct.

Eating regular meals will: cause you to gain weight help you to establish healthy eating habits and keep you energized throughou
PolarNik [594]
Eating regular meals establishes healthy eating habits, keeps you energized throughout the day, and can cause you to lose weight. regular eating habits establish healthy eating habits because it's always good to eat regularly. One of the biggest misconceptions to losing weight fast and in a healthy manner is by not eating, that is false. If you eat regular meals you can lose weight perfectly fine. The more calories you eat the more you lose, now i'm not saying eat a million and one candy bars, i'm saying if you eat food that is healthy can get you to lose weight. That also doesn't mean live off of carrots and strawberries for a week! You have to eat normally. So a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, pasta, rice or any kind of meat is the way to lose weight vs eating low calorie anything or a candy bar. Every type of food gives you energy! It all depends what it is too predict how much energy you'll receive or how long it will last. For instance, a candy bar will give you a lot of energy, fast but won't last as long as eating pasta or rice for energy. Eating regular meals does cause you to gain weight but thats a good thing, it gives you energy, muscle and can help you lose weight. Eating regular  meals actually does the opposite of causing you to be hungry more often, it keeps you fuller for longer.
