Mining at the Poles
Hi Welcome to Isaac Edward's Independent Investigation Website. My class has been working on this project since the beginning of Term 4 in which we chose our topic ranging from chemical and biological weapons to the effects of a dam. I chose the topic: Should mankind explore for minerals in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. After researching sub-questions in our topic we put all our notes together to make our final product in a format that we decided upon. For me I chose to make a website, which you probably have realised by now as after all, you are looking at it. Anyway I hope you leave today with new knowledge about mining at the poles. Journey through the website and see if you can find the answer to these questions:
What is Antarctica and the Arctic Like?
What is the history of Mining in these areas?
What minerals might/do exist?
How will we get them?
Effects of mining on the environment.
What will we do with minerals?
What are the politics involved?
What are the economic benefits?
What is presently going on?
Explore and learn!
