Overview: "Humans depend on Earth's land, ocean, atmosphere, and biosphere for many different resources. Minerals, freshwater, and biosphere resources are limited, and many are not renewable or replaceable over human lifetimes. These resources are distributed unevenly around the planet as a result of past geologic processes."

How does Earth's current climate impact the distribution of resources, such as plants and animals?

Current climate impacts where plants grow and animals live. Plants and animals are found where temperatures and precipitation are just right.

Climate does not indicate any abundance in plant and animal life

Climates can change drastically and it won't effect plant and animal life

Plants and animals have no direct correlation to what the climate is

Copper has been used by humans for at least 10,000 years. It is mined and extracted from Earth for many reasons. It is used for electrical wiring, roofing, plumbing, and industrial machinery. It is also used to make jewelry, coins, and alloys such as brass and bronze.

According to the USGS, most Copper is found in igneous rock in Earth's crust. Igneous rock forms when molten rock (magma) escapes through ruptures in Earth's crust, cools, and solidifies. Copper is also deposited near deep-sea hydrothermal vents where gas and other substances escape from Earth in fissures near tectonic plate boundaries.
