The focus of this week's blog is Baja's "Earth" or "Geo" resources. Some of these resources are mined on the peninsula itself, and some are or might be mined from the sea floor. Earth or geologic resources includes a wealth of minerals, metals, soils, and petroleum products such as oil, and natural gas.
The exploitation and the conservation of "Earth" resources is critical to Baja and often is controversial.
I want you to read at least two websites and present information about the resource: its abundance, exploitation, conservation/management or controversy. If someone else has started a discussion about this resource, add to the comments/discussion with additional information rather than just repeating what has been presented. If the resource's exploitation and management is controversial, what are the arguments of both sides? Explain the controversy and the evidence to support one side's position.
PART A: (5 points) by 11 PM, Friday, June 24 ~ Post your initial comment.
PART B: (5 points) by 11 PM, Sunday, June 26 ~ Read other students' comments and post a 2nd comment with additional information.
I have provided you with a folder of resources, but you can venture further and locate other resources as well. Cite your sources and provide the title and URL of the website(s) that you use.
You must use and cite at least one website. The URL starts with ... http
