摘　　要：As the world transitions from fossil fuels,many replacement technologies-electric vehicles and wind turbines,for,instance-rely on metals such as lithium,cobalt,nickel,copper and rare earth elements.And as production ramps up,international mining conglomerates are increasingly eye-balling the deep ocean where vast numbers of polymetallic nodules-naturally occurring concentrations bf many of these metals-have been located.These nodules,formed over millions of years,range from one to four inches in diameter and lie within the top three inches of the ocean floor.世界要从化石燃料转型之际,许多替代技术——在例如电动车与风力涡轮机——依靠着锂,钴、镍、铜、稀土元素等金属。随着产量大增,国际采矿集团对深海愈加虎视眈眈,深海正是大量多金属结核——即许多这些金属的自然集结——所在地。这些结核历经数百万年形成,直径从1~4英寸不等,位于海床表面3英寸内。

关 键 词：cost nickel FLOOR
