The Lithosphere

1. What is stock or resource base?

This includes all the material that exists in the lithosphere includes the mineral that can be exploited now and in future, or that which cld never be exploited.

They have iron ore deposits e.g magnetite. They are formed when dissolved iron compounds become oxidised by oxygen released by photosynthesis producing insoluble iron oxide deposits-occurred mainly between 2.5 y + 1.8 billion yrs ago

as purity of mineral increases amount of mineral present decreases
states that in general as the purity of the mineral decreases, the amount of mineral present increases exponentially. So problem with future mineral supplies is not the quantity that exists but the need to develop methods to exploit low grade deposit

soon after the batholith is formed exploitation is now possible.
A mix of minerals which cant be exploited are separated and deposited

These are processes that involve materials carried and separated by flowing H20 , the ability of water to carry solids depends on the velocity of water and density of solids .
