Minerals found in ocean water mostly are not off economic signification

Oceans cover 70 percent of Earth's surface, host a vast variety of geological processes responsible for the formation and concentration of mineral resources, and are the ultimate repository of many materials eroded or dissolved from the land surface. Hence, oceans contain vast quantities of materials that presently serve as major resources for humans. Today, direct extraction of resources is limited to salt; magnesium; placer gold, tin, titanium, and diamonds; and fresh water.

The ocean waters contain vast quantities of minerals, but most of these are too widely diffused to be of economic significance.

Explanation:

  • The ocean waters contain vast deposits of the minerals as the salt, potassium, magnesium and the sand and the gravel and the limestone and the gypsum and the phosphorates and deposits of the oozes are also found.
  • The main minerals are the salt that has a 3% concentration in the water and constitutes of the 80% of the dissolved salts that measure about the 200 metric tonnes. Others include the potassium that is about the 0.15% and is mined from the depths of the ocean such as the magnesite and the dolomite etc.
  • Sand and the gravel are part of them and the sediments are sent for the extraction of the construction and the glass making, and the preparation of the silicon metal , the Gravel deposits are much of a heterogeneous but occur in the same manner, and are processed extensively for building materials.
  • The limestone and gypsum form an extensive in the tropical and the subtropical areas, the construction of the magnesium nodules includes the metals as the copper, the cobalt, and the nickel, other valuable commodities as the Tin, and the Titanium, and the diamonds in place near the Alaska and the Canadian coasts.
