In Congo’s sun-scorched and dusty south, thousands of miners scour underground tunnels hunting for cobalt. Many of them work by hand. That’s why they are known as creuseurs — French for diggers.
They don’t use power tools. They don’t wear face masks and often no gloves. They do it because they live in one of the poorest countries in the world, and cobalt is valuable. The mineral is essential for the lithium-ion batteries found in smartphones and many electric vehicles. Most of the world’s cobalt supply comes from the Congo region. These cobalt-laden chunks of rock leave the country destined for refineries in Europe and China, where they enter the complex supply chains of some of the largest technology and automotive firms.
Creuseurs know their work is physically dangerous. Death and injury from tunnel collapses are not uncommon. Children sometimes join their older brothers and fathers in the mines


Was that detail enough ??eh??

33. What is the mass of 1 ha of soil to 15 cm g/cm, soil bulk density 1.5 Mg/m) 10, 000 m2 SUi a. 1,500,000 kg b. 3,038,608 kg 2
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The correct option is: 2,250,000 kg  

Explanation:

Given : Area A = 1 ha (Hectare) = 10,000 m²

Bulk density = 1.5 Mg/m³ = 1.5 × 1000 kg/m³ = 1500 kg/m³ (∵ 1 Mg=1000 kg)

Depth of soil = 15 cm = 0.15 m   (∵ 1 m = 100 cm)

Volume  can be calculated by:

Volume = area × Depth = 10,000 m² × 0.15 m = 1500 m³

As we know, density = mass/ volume

Therefore, <u>Mass of soil</u>  = Bulk density × volume = 1500 kg/m³ × 1500 m³ = 2,250,000 kg

Explain what an Historian, Archaeologist and Geographer do in their jobs.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Archaeology is the study of human activity in the past, primarily through the recovery and analysis of the material culture and environmental data that has been left behind by past human populations, which includes artifactss, architecture, biofacts and cultural landscapes . Because archaeology employs a wide range of different procedures, it can be considered to be both a social science and a humanity and in the U.S, it is thought of as a branch of anthropology although in Europe it is viewed as a separate discipline.  
A historian<span> is a person who studies and writes about the past and is regarded as an authority on it.</span><span> Historians are concerned with the continuous, methodical narrative and research of past events as relating to the human race; as well as the study of all history in time. If the individual is concerned with events preceding written history, the individual is a historian of prehistory</span><span>. Although "historian" can be used to describe amateur and professional historians alike, it is reserved more recently for those who have acquired graduate degrees</span><span> in the discipline. Some historians, though, are recognized by publications or training and experience.</span><span> "Historian" became a professional occupation in the late nineteenth century as research universities were emerging in Germany and elsewhere.
</span>
Geographers study the earth and its land, features, and inhabitants. They also examine phenomena such as political or cultural structures as they relate to geography. They study the physical and human geographic characteristics of a region, ranging in scale from local to global.

In which type of economic system does the government have the most economic control?
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The system with the highest level of government control is communism. In theory, a communist economy is one in which the government owns all or most enterprises. Central planning by the government dictates which goods or services are produced, how they are produced, and who will receive them.
