  • Afam thermal power stationRivers State

Cevap

Glass sand matches with Igbokoda (Ondo State); Salt brine deposits match with Uburu (Ebonyi State); Coking coal reserves match with Lafia-Obobi (Nasarawa State); Afam thermal power station matches with Rivers State.
Glass sand is located at Igbokoda in Ondo State, salt brine deposits occur at Uburu in Ebonyi State, coking coal is found at Lafia-Obobi in Nasarawa State, and the gas-fired Afam thermal power station is located in Rivers State.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Match glass sand with its main industrial supply site.
Igbokoda in Ondo State is the principal location for glass sand mining.
Coastal sediment deposits in Ondo State yield pure silica sand required for glass making.
2
Identify the primary site for salt brine deposits.
Uburu in Ebonyi State is known for brine springs and salt production.
The Cretaceous rock formations of the Benue Trough near Uburu contain rich salt brines.
3
Locate Nigeria's key coking coal deposit area.
Lafia-Obobi in Nasarawa State holds major coking coal seams.
Unlike sub-bituminous coal of Enugu, coal in the Middle Benue Trough around Lafia-Obobi has coking properties.
4
Identify the state host to Afam power station.
Afam thermal power station is situated in Rivers State.
The plant utilizes natural gas piped from local Niger Delta oilfields in Rivers State.
