Question

area a is located close to a volcanic vent, but area b is far away. what is the expected distribution of iron ore deposits in each area? a. area a will have higher iron ore deposits than area b. b. area b will have higher iron ore deposits than area a. c. area a and area b will have nearly the same amount of iron ore deposits. d. its not possible to predict the distribution of iron ore deposits in this situation.

Explanation:

Volcanic activity can bring iron - rich materials to the surface. Since area A is close to a volcanic vent, it is more likely to have higher iron ore deposits due to volcanic processes that can concentrate and deposit such minerals. Area B, being far away, is less likely to be affected by these volcanic - related iron - ore depositing processes.

Answer:

A. Area A will have higher iron ore deposits than area B.
