He nui nā minelala o ʻApelika. ʻO nā kumuwaiwai no nā lālā like ʻole o ka metallurgy, i hoʻolako ʻia e nā ʻāina ʻĀpana ʻokoʻa, he mea nui.
Nā waihona i ka hema
Ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ka pae ʻāina, nui ka nui o nā ʻaole. Eia ka chromite, tungsten, manganese e ʻeli ʻia. Ua loaʻa kahi waihona graphite nui ma ka mokupuni ʻo Madagascar.
ʻO ka mining o nā metala waiwai e like me ke gula he mea nui ia no nā ʻāina ʻApelika. Ua ʻeli ʻia ma ʻApelika Hema. Hoʻohui ʻia, loaʻa i loko o ʻApelika Hema nā nui he nui o ke kēpau, nā uranium ores, tin, cobalt a me keleawe. I ke kūkulu ʻākau, ʻeli ʻia ka zinc, molybdenum, kēpau a me ka manganese.
Ka hoʻouku ʻana ma ka ʻākau a me ke komohana
Aia nā māla aila ma ka ʻĀkau o ka pae ʻāina. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Morocco kāna mea loaʻa nui. Ma nā wahi o ka mauna Atlas kokoke i Libia, aia kahi hui o phosphorites. He waiwai lākou no ka metallurgy a me nā ʻoihana kemika. Hana ʻia nā mea kanu like ʻole no ka agro-ʻoihana mai iā lākou. Pono e hoʻonui ʻia i ka hapalua o nā mālama honua phosphorite i minia ʻia ma ʻApelika.
ʻO kaʻaila a me ka lānahu paʻakikī ka mea waiwai nui o ʻAmelika. Aia kā lākou waihona nui ma ka ʻāina. Naigera. ʻO nā mea hao ʻē aʻe a me nā hao ʻole ferrous e ʻeli ʻia ma ʻApelika Komohana. Aia nā waihona kinikini kūlohelohe ma ke kapakai komohana, i lawe ʻia aku i nā ʻāina like ʻole o ka honua. He wahie kumu kūʻai a maikaʻi ia e hoʻohana ʻia i ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā a me ka ʻoihana.
Nā ʻano o nā minelala ma ʻApelika
Inā mākou e hōʻuluʻulu i nā minelala āpau, a laila hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia i ka hui o nā wahie i ka lanahu a me ka aila. ʻO kā lākou waihona kālā aia wale nō ma ʻApelika Hema, akā ma Algeria hoʻi, Libya, Nigeria. ʻO nā hua kuʻikuʻi a me nā hao hao ʻole - alumini, keleawe, titanium-magnesium, manganese, keleawe, antimony, tin - e ʻeli ʻia ma ʻApelika Hema a me Zambia, Cameroon a me ka Lepupalika ʻo Kongo.
ʻO nā metala waiwai nui ka platinum a me ka gula i lī ʻia ma ʻApelika Hema. Ma waena o nā pōhaku makamae, aia nā waihona daimana. Hoʻohana ʻia lākou ʻaʻole wale i nā kāhiko akā i nā ʻoihana like ʻole ma muli o ko lākou paʻakikī.
Nui ka ʻāpana ʻAmelika ma nā minelala like ʻole. No kekahi mau pōhaku a me nā minelala, hāʻawi nui nā ʻāina ʻApelika i ka hana mining honua. Aia ka helu nui loa o nā waiho o nā pōhaku like ʻole ma ka hema o ka ʻāina nui, ʻo ia hoʻi ma ʻApelika Hema.
