Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:We use things made from rocks and minerals every day. It is estimated that every person in the United States will use more than three million pounds of rocks, minerals and metals during their lifetime.

900 pounds of lead

700 pounds of zinc

1,300 pounds of copper

3,600 pounds of bauxite (aluminum)

30,000 pounds of ore  

 

20,000 pounds of clay

28,000 pounds of salt

1,500,000 pounds of stone, sand, and gravel

6,500 pounds of cement

82,000 gallons of petroleum.

As each of us uses the Earth's natural resources on a human time scale, it is important to consider that mineral resources form on geologic timescales and the vast difference between the two. The items in this case are just a few of the ways that we use rocks and minerals in our everyday lives.
