Answer:

Because it was affordable to a large number of prospectors.

Explanation:

Placer mining was the most widely used method for mining for gold because it was affordable to a large number of prospectors. Placer mining is a method that uses water to excavate, transport and recover heavy minerals from deposits. It was widely used to find gold during the Gold Rush. The method takes advantage of the fact that gold has a higher density than the lighter siliceous materials with which it is found. This causes gold to sink more rapidly than the other materials.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

D. there would be no need for markets to purchase goods and services

Explanation:

Self sufficiency which the act whereby an individual can be able to meet his or her needs without recourse the seeking help whatsoever from another person. This is an etopiain scenario projected which is hardly reliasiable as a result of everyone needing help at one point or the other over the course of his or her living on earth.
