| 內容簡介 | 太平洋的海底，深達四公里的地方蘊藏著大量的錳結核。當中包含了許多用於製造電子設備的稀有金屬。有人擔心，開採這些金屬會破壞海洋的自然韻律，並威脅到我們還不甚了解的生態系統。科學家們希望他們的研究能緩解深海採礦對環境的影響。
On the floor of the Pacific Ocean, at a depth of four kilometers, there are vast reserves of manganese nodules. These contain many rare metals used in the manufacture of electronic devices. There are fears that extracting these metals could disrupt natural marine rhythms and threaten an ecosystem that we still don’t really understand. Scientists are hoping that their research will ease the impact of deep-sea mining on the environment.<摘錄自媒體封面或內頁> |
