Ecological and Economic Prerequisites for the Extraction of Solid Minerals from the Bottom of the Arctic Seas
The world ocean has huge reserves of minerals that are contained directly in the water, as well as on the surface of its bottom and in its subsoils. The deposits of solid minerals on the surface of the bottom of the World Ocean are considered the most promising for industrial extraction. The deposit...
