Q:

• Post your response to the following: Geologic events, such as volcanic activity, play an
important role in forming many of our valuable resources, such as fossil fuel, lead,
copper, and gold. For example, fig. 15.21 on p. 476 of the textbook shows the role of
basaltic magma in forming one of the most valuable ores to our civilization, chromium.
Select an important ore mined in your state or region, and discuss how geologic events
played a role in forming this ore. Discuss the importance of this ore in the economy of
your selected area and the U.S. as a whole
