source:The Conversation UK-To understand the resources of the near future, geologists need to understand the volcanoes of the distant past. Exploration of ancient magma chambers in places such as Greenland has the potential to provide new sources of the rare metals that underpin modern green technologies.Many rare metals – such as neodymium, niobium and dysprosium – essential to the production of wind turbines and electric cars, are mined from fossil volcanoes.Volcanoes are nature’s way of bringing material from deep within the earth up to the surface. Melting processes within the mantle – the...
