More than a decade ago we already discussed the need to study the soils of the seabed and open a space for them that would allow them to be included in a universal classification of soils . However, we also noticed that, for a change. Their exploitation had begun without even having studied them , except from very specific aspects such as methane hydrates . And so we wrote posts like the following: (i) Seabed Mining: First Exploit, then Pollute and then (ii) Inventory, Classification and Mapping of Underwater Soils in the US. (iii) Exploitation and Pollution of Marine Soils: Playing with the Health of the Planet? . Today we received a press release in Swahili that we “automatically” translated into English. In it, in addition to adding one or two very illustrative (consecutive) videos.
Do you know what polymetallic nodules
are? It is unfortunate that studies of the “ genesis of soils ” are imprisoned in the limbo of the just. While the task of massive destruction has begun. The news that we offer you below (and the video that can be viewed) by clicking on the title of the news or also see below. Will offer the reader Hong Kong WhatsApp Number Data ideas of what they are looking for ( rare earths ) and first evidence of the chaos generated by the extractive mining industries . It is the price to pay for technological advances designed for man. Although against the biosphere and, therefore, the future of both . No further comments Juan José Ibáñez Keep going. Ocean Soils and Their Forming Factors. Methane Hydrates or Clathrates Expanding the frontiers of Soil Science: A Compendium Ocean scientists measure sediment plume churned up by deep-sea mining vehicle By Jennifer Chu for MIT News Boston MA (SPX) September.
Watch movie here What will be the impact
If humans are going to exploit the deep sea? It’s a question that’s gaining urgency as interest in marine minerals has grown . The ocean’s deep seafloor is dotted with ancient Dominican Republic WhatsApp Number List potato-sized rocks called ” polymetallic nodules ” that contain nickel and cobalt. Minerals that are in high demand for making batteries. Such as to power electric vehicles and store renewable energy, and in response to factors such as increased urbanization. The deep ocean contains large quantities of mineral-laden nodules, but the impact of ocean floor mining is unknown and highly disputed . Now, ocean scientists at MIT have shed some light on the issue. A new study on the cloud of sediment that a collection vehicle would stir up as it collects nodules from the seafloor.
