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).

How do volcanoes function as a disruptive force? Check all that apply.
cluponka [151]

Answer:

- force people to flee their homes

- cause massive earthquakes

- pollute the air with volcanic smoke

- make airplanes fly around ash clouds

Explanation:

The volcanoes can be seen as both creative and disruptive force. The disruptive side of the volcanoes includes numerous things. Because of the big pressure that the volcanoes make on the crust, it is very common that they create earthquakes, some being very strong. They release enormous amounts of gases, ash, and pyroclastic material, resulting in pollution of the air. The gases and ash can stay in the atmosphere for longer period of time, as well as travel over long distance, making the airplanes change their routes and go around them, or stop their flights until the air clears out. The volcanic eruptions themselves are very dangerous for the people, be it calm with lava flows, or with explosive eruptions, the people a forced to flee their homes and leave everything behind in order to save their lives.
