I never really studied The Forces Of Motion but one thing that I know is why there is tides. After I really know nothing about it or maybe I do but I can't remember.
My mum talled me about many things that I don't know as: magnetic strength, gravity, - and+ gravity forces, centrifugal strength ...It's true that when telling me about those strength she explained it a little but just a little so I would Looooooooooove to know more about it.
Limestone, gypsum, salt, diamonds, gold are minerals that we can find in the sea.
How valuable is it?
Gold is hard to mine, it’s malleable, it’s hard to find, it doesn’t tarnish or rust.
Diamonds are expensive to mine because we need a special material cause they are the hardest mineral on earth.
Salt is very common , it’s found in the world’s oceans.
Limestone is very useful cause we use it for building houses,
Gypsum is common but useful for gypsum board, cement, cast, paint and statues.
Who owns the oceans minerals
Helene: I think that what should happen, is that each country that mines in an other country should give a percentage of the money they won to this other country so that this other country can little by little win enought money to begin their own business and keep up their economy
Hanna: I think the ocean should not be mined because how are we going to return the oceans to their natural state therefore people should stick to the coast line. Oil is hazardous to the environment and it lingers in the water for decades so it is a large problem. You see dead mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians in nearby ponds
Alex: I think that NO ONE owns the word oceans minerals apart from the fish and other things that live inside
Conflict
We had a conflict first Helene was saying (I think that what should happen, is that each country that mines in an other country should give a percentage of the money they won to this other country so that this other country can little by little win enough money to begin their own business and keep up their economy)
But Hannah was saying( the ocean should not be mined other than if it must on the continental shelvles where we are already mining so we don’t go as deep into a large
I personaly thought that helen’s idea was the best of all. It would make my dad proud if I helped do that
Our proposal
So we have a proposal is that we use are water and minerals more efficiently and that we help poor countries to develop by making donations or giving them jobs do that we don’t have to use the ocean at all and that we don’t hurt the ecosystem.
Conclusion
This was our group debate in science today, and what is surprising is that each group got quite the same proposal, it probably proves that we should really apply it.
The most mined mineral in my country is quartz. It is mined deep into the ground. This was one of the first most important company xtrata. . Switzerland export and import a lot of quartz, they export their quartz in more than 100 countries. Quartz is one of the most useful natural materials because it has a hardness of seven on the Mohs Scale which makes it very durable.
Glass Making
Abasives
Foundry sand
Petrolium industry
ruber
paint
potty
watches
railroad mining industries
....and others
The value of quartz depends on it's purity but I found an information saying that in general a diameter cost 30chf . They depend a litle on quartz because switzerland is famous for it's watches and their watches are made of quartz.
My first thoughts
Today in science the teacher asked us a tricky question " Who owns the ocean's minerals?". At first I thought "Nobody the sea is to the animals and nature and we shall let it like that". But after some reflection I thought" If the poor countries own the sea and it's mineral.,hey could have money to develop and less people will die of hunger eatch days, also if the sea owned to sombody the country will care mor about it and will probably trie harder to stop water pollution so it would be good for nature"
Identify the problem
We all know that each piece of land owns to a country, but have you ever thought about who owns the Ocean and it's mineral? Each ocean is surrounded by many different countries and as the Law of Sea explains, oceans are the common property of everybody on earth. But here is the problem, The ocean is full of minerals that could help a lot of poor countries to develop but here is the problem: Only rich countries can afford the mining!
Wealthy+ Developing
Some very poor countries like in south Africa are in fact very rich they are full od diamonds and other minerals, but mining diamonds require a lot of expansive material and those countries need a big amount of money to begin mining. Sadly they don't have it.
Solution+ solution
A good thing would be that rich countries share the money of the minerals with the closest country , so it would be good cause if the nearest country is poor after a certain amount of time this developing country will have enough money to mine on their self and begin a whole new economy.
