How is iron ore distributed?
Iron ore is distributed over the Earth according to what was on the bottom of the ocean at the time of the great oxygen production. Without oxygen, iron “dissolves” in water. When algae started making oxygen, all that iron “rusted”, and fell to the bottom of all seas. The great iron ore deposits of today are just sea floors having been up-welled onto the continents of today… The “distribution” is simply a matter tectonic movement of the ancient ocean floors.
