The answer to your question is A
massive hematite or magnetite
One mole of aluminum oxide or Al₂O₃ is 102 g/mol . It contains 54 g of Al metal. Thus, 25.5 tones of aluminum oxide contains 13.5 tones of Al. Therefore, the maximum mass of aluminum that can be extracted is 13.5 tones.
<h3>What is aluminum?</h3>
Aluminum is 13 the element in periodic table. It is an electropositive element and exhibit metallic properties. Aluminum easily forms its oxides by reacting with atmospheric oxygen.
The molar mass of aluminum oxide Al₂O₃ is 102 g/mol. The atomic mass of Al is 27 g/mol. Thus 102 g of Al₂O₃ contains 54 g of Al. Therefore, the mass of Al in 25.5 tones or 25.5 ×10⁶ g of Al₂O₃ is calculated as follows:
mass of Al = (25.5 ×10⁶ g × 54 g) / 102 g
= 13.5 ×10⁶ g = 13.5 tones.
Therefore, the maximum mass of aluminum that can be extracted is 13.5 tones

Answer:
Gravity drives all mass wasting.
Explanation:
Mass wasting can be defined as the process of wasting away of earth's outer crust. This movement is also known as slope movement that causes large rock, soil, and debris to move downward, a force driven by gravity.
The term is often used interchangeably with landslide yet it is different. It is also known as mass movement as is cause massive downslope movement of rock, regolith, snow, ice, and-the-like on the earth's outer crust.
<u>All these movements are driven mainly by gravity. Gravity consantly tries to pull the rocks and soil down the slope but the resisting power. also known as shear strength, of moutains helps them to deny the gravitional force.</u>
Thus from the given options the statement that can be said to be true about mass wasting is that mass wasting is driven by gravity. So, the correct option is C.
