Abstract

Oceans cover 70% of Earth's surface, host a vast variety of geological procedures conducted for the formation and concentration of mineral supplies, and are the ultimate repository of many materials eroded or disintegrate from the land surface. Hence, oceans contain vast quantities of materials that currently serve as main resources for humans. Today, direct removal of resources is limited to salt; magnesium; placer gold, tin, titanium, and diamonds; and fresh water.
