Question

Which is not an aid used for locating minerals?


A. satellite imagery


B. aerial photography


C. spoil piles


D. core samples

Answer 1

I don't actually see how a satellite image can help you locate minerals since it's to far up to identify what you need. Aerial photografy tough, can help you identify different rock regions, etc.

The other two, are obvious. They contribute a lot in mineral locating.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
