Divergent Plate Boundaries & Mineral Deposits by ira kusuma is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Divergent plate boundaries create conditions for mineralization as hydrothermal vents deposit metals from heated seafloor rocks into sulfide and sediment deposits along mid-ocean ridges. Companies are exploring undersea mining of deposits containing metals like iron, zinc, copper, lead, gold and silver in places like the Red Sea. Historic examples of similar volcanic massive sulfide deposits are found in Cyprus and Oman within basaltic rock sequences near ancient plate boundaries. Plate boundaries are a key
