I grew up with the many iron mines of Minnesota's iron range right in my back yard. The Minorca is about 30 miles from me and the largest open pit iron mine in the world, the Hull-Rust-Mahoning mine located just north of my hometown of Hibbing, MN.
The goal of my channel is to make documentary style videos about Northern Minnesota and its history.
Oxygen is the most abundant element on earth. There more in the ground than in the air we breath .
Iron atomic symbol FE everything is made of it and it is the key element in an electrical charge. When Iron is smelted it becomes steel but if it is exposed to water, air, salt, or anything corrosive it will rust. We can't survive without it thats why Iron is the most recycled mineral on earth. Every day old iron products are scrapped and new ones are made at the mill thats why steel mills are the backbone of our economy everything uses Iron and the more we make the more we have to build with it.
I’m just in time, 2hrs after this dropped
I'm thankful not to listen to uk narration
The narrator we need
I found a deposit who what's to make us rich?
THIS CURES SORROW
Thank you History channel, very cool
One could argue that oxygen…and perhaps even silicon is more abundant on Earth.
1400 years ago it was revealed in the Quran and it’s important to us and yet mankind still don’t believe 😢
Amazing creativity💪🏾
Oxygen is "the most abundant element on earth".
I guarantee you that more people have died from this new steel in vehicles today. Plus there videos of these vehicles being rip or split apart.
Hydrogen, helium and oxygen are the top three most abundant elements on earth not iron..
Ions ability to share its electrons makes it so wonderful, but that’s also the reason for its oxidation
Oxygen, silicon, aluminum and titanium are the most abundant elements.
Funny thing is pure iron used to be available. Even some tools from China were criticized for being “soft” and therefore bad steel. Well, I suppose that’s because it was almost pure iron and not steel at all. Once iron ingots were available in England. Now I can’t find any source of pure iron. The closest is railroad spikes which can be bought from Amazon. This almost pure iron is fun to forge because it is soft.
JFC those GIs were complete amateurs. Hopefully those POGs weren't responsible for training any grunts!
IRON : the Heart of a dying Star…
Really wish more people would get onboard with recycling. We gotta be smart with our resources. Especially when it can be constantly reused without any degradation
