    Note:
    Resource is that amount of a geologic commodity that exists in both discovered and undiscovered deposits-by definition, then, a “best guess.”
    Reserves are that subgroup of a resource that have been discovered, have a known size, and can be extracted at a profit.

    🔶Recurso es la cantidad de una materia prima geológica que existe tanto en yacimientos descubiertos como por descubrir, por definición, pues, una "mejor estimación".
    🔷Reservas son el subgrupo de un recurso que se ha descubierto, tiene un tamaño conocido y puede extraerse con beneficio.

    • @buckykattnj
      @buckykattnj 9 місяців тому +8

      Well, it's not really so "weirdly"... it's just that nucleosynthesis leaps past Li (and BE, B) from He to C... so some of the Li we have is a leftover of the big bang, where it was produced in trace amounts compared hydrogen. The rest is produced during classic novae, where it is also produces in small amounts compared to He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, and cosmic ray spallation. It is also easy to break apart and fuse into heavier elements in the heat of stars.
      That said, it's also not too rare... it's in the top 20 most common elements in the crust... but much of that Li is not easily extracted.

      @@buckykattnj Being a very lightweight alkali metal (same group as sodium and the like), it's no surprise that lithium is so difficult to extract, since if you isolate it, it wants to react to most things it comes into contact with.
      It's also not that big a surprise that it's in the top 20, given that the processes that form new elements favor lighter elements over heavier ones, especially once you reach atomic numbers 26 and 28 (iron and nickel), since fusing elements beyond that absorbs energy in the fusion process rather than releasing it, and so heavier elements require exotic processes beyond ordinary stellar nucleosynthesis.
