The industrial development of the United States of America was supported by the manufacturing and shipping strength of the Great Lakes region and its economic might as well. (Morreale 2-35) After the completion of the St
The process for the production of pig iron involves the heating of coke, iron ore, and limestone in a blast furnace. (Staff of Environmental Protection Agency, United States of America 1-3) The Basic Oxygen Furnace technology involves the combination of molten iron, which comes directly from the furnace, with flux and scrap steel
This assembly acted as the nucleus for further continental development. The area continued to undergo crustal collisions and rifting, until the Mid-Continental Rift left the final scar on the Great Lakes region when another rifting sequence began to rip apart the continent a billion years ago (Davis, 1998)
Large quantities of bromine, potash, chloride and sodium have also been mined from these layers, with limestone, gypsum and dolomite mined from surface quarries in the outcrop areas.
