Answer 2

Answer:

gold, tin, titanium, are some of the minerals found in oceans

Explanation:

The Global Marine Mineral Resources project researches deep ocean minerals within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone and throughout the Earth’s oceans.  Our research concerns the setting, genesis, and metal enrichment processes of mineral deposits, the relationship between marine minerals related and deep-sea biota, and the potential geochemical footprint of any seafloor mining. We aim to provide stakeholders with the best available science regarding potential resources and environmental impacts associated with accessing those resources.

Project objectives include:

• Geochemical characterization of mineral samples, including mineralogy and metal concentrations, and their variability regionally and globally

• Correlation of oceanographic and geographic parameters with mineralogy and metal content to elucidate the controls on mineral formation and element enrichment, and to map prospective mineral regions within the global ocean

• Investigation of mineral stability and metal mobility with exposure to seawater over time through experimental geochemistry to constrain geochemical effects of mineral disturbance

• Collaboration with biologists to determine associations between minerals and the biological communities which inhabit and surround them

Our findings inform stakeholders, including the public, government, industry, academics and NGOs, about mineral wealth and its environmental setting within the vast offshore territory of the U.S. and helps them determine which regions and deposits may warrant further research.
