Answer 1

Metals are extracted form ores found in the earth's crust. An ore is a rock containing enough metal or a metal compound to make extracting it worthwhile. An example of its use in everyday life are plumbing pipes made of copper used in electrical wiring and heating systems. Copper is a good conductor of heat and electricity and is immune to corrosion.
