How can we address the growing scarcity of common minerals as the human population grows? a. move communities to uninhabitated areas. b. use more energy to locate existing minerals. c. find uses for more plentiful minerals. d. construct more and larger landfills.

A. move communities to uninhabitated areas.

Explanation:

Minerals are the inorganic compounds that are extracted by the process of mining. With the increase in population worldwide the demand for minerals will also increase. As a result of this the resources will become scarce and limited. Therefore, in order to control this scarcity it will be better to trans-locate some communities to uninhabitated areas so that these communities avail minerals necessary for sustaining their lives.

it would affect precipitation by causing flooding in some areas of the world due to climate increasing, causing the glaciers in the northern and southern pole of our planet to melt.
