Ore

a plato in the north. Futuristic has a market economy. We have industry that includes mining, tourism, and manufacturing. Futuristic has oil, ore, and coal, as well as lots of water. The ore and coal are on top of the plato but the oil is right under the starting highway. The water is evenly dispersed throughout the city. We are mining coal and ore but we built the city before we checked where the oil was. Our government has control of the mining, tourism, and trading. We have more…

from not building a settlement, and a connection to a existing road / settlement. In another example, you have the year of plenty development card. The opportunity cost of using it on two ore is two brick to build roads or settlements, and one has to consider whether they would value upgrading existing settlements (ore) or creating new ones (brick). Even choosing your 2nd opening settlement and road has an important opportunity cost, in that generally one decides to choose between a common roll…

Discovered by a two German Chemists, Ferdinand Reich and Theodor Richter co-founded Indium in 1863. Their initial focus was to trace potential Thallium in Zinc ores (rocks), however, it eventually led them to extracting Indium as a by-product of Zinc ores. As of today, there are multiple regions and elements in which Indium can be extracted from but it is not because of its accessibility but rather the demand. The demand for Indium is primarily used for technological purposes- the most prevalent…

Uses and Hazards.”) I will focus on the use of Uranium in nuclear power plants. Natural uranium consists of three isotopes: uranium-238, uranium-235, and uranium-234. Uranium isotopes are radioactive. Uranium-238, the most common isotope in uranium ore has a half-life of about 4.5 billion years. It is used for nuclear weapons and is most common. Isotope 235 is important because when it splits it releases a lot of energy, which is called nuclear fission. Uranium 234 is formed…

First Mineral: My first mineral of choice is Titanium. Titanium is a metal that was discovered in 1791 by William Gregor. A few common properties are its low density, inflexibility, resistant to extreme temperature, and corrosion. Ti is titanium chemical formula. Titanium is vital in my everyday uses for instance my newly purchased wallet, Apple laptop that I use for school and the golf cart I drive around the park. Dentist use titanium for patients who receive teeth implants. Titanium powder…

Catan—More than a Board Game Tensions are high and everyone is extremely focused, which simply means everyone is close to winning the game. Relief hits me as I roll a 3 and acquire the ore resource card I’ve been patiently waiting to pick up for 3 rounds. I combine that ore with a wool and grain resource and draw a development card. As I look at the card, my heart begins to race. While keeping a poker face, I pass the dice to the next player knowing I can win on my next turn if nobody else…

Uranium generates the heat in nuclear power reactors, and produces the fissile material for nuclear weapons. Deposits of uranium are found in China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Namibia, Greenland, South Africa, United States,Canada and Australia. Uranium ore deposits are economically recoverable concentrations of uranium within the Earth's crust. Some of the advantages to using uranium for energy include that Uranium is relatively clean and does not contribute heavily to…

and no way in. How people got in, no one knows, not even the people who live there. But, of course, they don’t know outside life exists, and no one on the outside knows either. The town develops by mining ores in the surrounding cliffs, and due to the vast amount and high accessibility of ores, and highly conductive metals, the town’s technology is quite advanced, but the people are more primitive in other ways. The society is controlled by one man, Kira Amondugut. He listens to no one, and when…

appliances, gadgets and equipment of different shapes and sizes. Extraction of metals- Metal ores is a mineral or mixture of minerals from which metals are extracted. Before these metals can be extracted, the ores must have a sufficient amount of metal to make the extraction worth it. Iron is extracted through the following process: Iron is extracted from an iron ore in a blast furnace, present in the iron ore is Iron oxide. The oxygen must be removed from iron oxide, leaving behind the iron.…

of finding what metaphors shape different individuals is very intriguing to me. She gives eight clear metaphors on the ways authors describe their revising process through metaphorical language. When Tomlinson talks about revising to be “refining ore”, I think that this perfectly explains my process of revising. “One’s first draft, one’s first way of approaching the problem—even one’s first 50 ways of approaching it—may not work”, drafting and coming up with the best final draft…
