Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
There are different ways of mining manganese nodules. Unfortunately, none of the methods people
have come up with have made it cost effective to mine these nodules. There may come a point in time
when the mining of these nodules becomes economical. Information can be found in the section
Physical Resources.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Oil migrates to the surface through porous overlaying formations. It does this because it has a lower
density than the sediments around it. Information can be found in the section Physical Resources.
