Aluminium is remarkable for its low density and its ability to resist corrosion through the phenomenon of passivation. Aluminium and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and important in transportation and building industries, such as building facades and window frames. The oxides and sulfates are the most useful compounds of aluminium.
How to play World Aluminium Production
Here is the map of the world and 20 drills at the top of the screen. Click on different locations on the map to see how many tonnes of aluminium that region produces per year. The amount of aluminium production will be added to the bottom counter, and one drill will be lost per click. The purpose is to collect 50 million tonnes of aluminium per year before you run out of drills. The amounts and locations are approximate, and some regions will yield 0 aluminium to make the exercise more challenging!
