Answer 2

Where Is Iron Ore Found

Answer 3

Iron ore is found in many places around the world. In the United States, it was the Mesabi Range of northeastern Minnesota. That deposit was found in 1887, and it is one of the main reasons why the United States became such an industrial power over the following century. The huge range had rich ore, up to 3% iron, was not good for farming. U.S. Steel and Bethlehem Steel (which no longer exist) smelted its ores whith coal (coke) from the Appalachias and limestone from as far as Texas. Huge railroads infrastructure build to support this industry built this nation.

Other countries such as South Africa, Angola, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Brazil, Guatemala, and Australia are also rich in iron ore.

Answer 4

Iron (IPA: /ˈʌɪə(r)n/) is a chemical element with the symbol Fe (Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. Iron is a group 8 and period 4 metal. Iron (along with nickel) are notable for being the final elements produced by stellar nucleosynthesis, and thus the heaviest elements which do not require a supernova or similarly cataclysmic event for formation. Iron and nickel are therefore the most abundant metals in metallic meteorites and in the dense-metal cores of planets such as Earth.

Occurrence
Iron is one of the most common elements on Earth, making up about 5% of the Earth's crust. Most of this iron is found in various iron oxides, such as the minerals hematite, magnetite, and taconite. The earth's core is believed to consist largely of a metallic iron-nickel alloy. About 5% of the meteorites similarly consist of iron-nickel alloy. Although rare, these are the major form of natural metallic iron on the earth's surface.

Answer 6

Iron is the most abundant metal in the earth. Although most of it is in the earths core it is so abundant that it is still the second most abundant metal on the surface after aluminum, which being lighter is all on the surface.

Iron was found all round the world by different people so far back in history that it would be impossible to say who and when.

Copper and tin were probably found as man put stones around a fire and they got hot enough to melt and produce small amounts of the metal. This spurred him on to experiment with other rocks and different types of fire and eventually to producing iron.

It could be argued that the discovery of iron and it's uses was probably the biggest factor in the modernisation and welfare of mankind.

Answer 7

Modern mines, in Minnesota and Michigan in the U.S., and Eastern Canada mine taconite

Answer 8

iron is found under the ground
