What are the natural resources of North Dakota?

Answer 1

Granite, clays, limestone, crushed stone, sand and gravel, and petroleum are South Dakota's most important mined products. Other mined products are gypsum and natural gas. Until the Homestake Mine in Lead was closed in 2001, South Dakota was a leading producer of gold. Gold mining activity still exists in the state but on a minor scale.

The entire eastern half of the state is mostly corn, soybeans, and some livestock operations. West of the Missouri River is mainly ranch land.

South Dakota is fast becoming a leading state in wind energy production.

Answer 2

North Dakota's most important mined product is petroleum. Coal and natural gas are also important. Other mined products are sand and gravel, providing the most income, clays and salt.

The two biggest are coal and oil, but also wind energy, hydroelectric power and good agricultural land.

Answer 3

The major products of North Dakota include wheat, livestock production (dairy cattle, hogs, and beef), soybeans, corn, and sugar beets. Food processing is North Dakota's major manufacturing industry. Coal, oil, and natural gas are also major products of North Dakota.

Answer 4

Much of North Dakota is part of the Great Plains so the natural vegetation includes a variety of prairie grasses including big bluestem, little bluestem, Canada wild rye, western wheat grass, blue grama grass, rough fescue, sand bluestem, prairie sandreed, needle-and-thread, sand dropseed, Indian rice grass, and switch grass.

The rest of North Dakota is Badlands and River Breaks and the vegetation includes Rocky Mountain Juniper, big sagebrush, Douglas fir, silver sage, and shadescale.

Answer 6

North Dakota’s soil is an important natural resource making North Dakota one of the top producers of spring wheat, durum, sunflowers, canola, dry edible beans, flax, and honey. North Dakota also ranks near the top in production of soybeans, lentils, dry edible peas, barley, sugar beets, oats, and potatoes.

Water is an important natural resource in North Dakota, producing hydroelectric power and providing irrigated water for agriculture and food processing.

Wind is another natural resource found in North Dakota and produces electrical energy.

Mineral deposits are another natural resource found in North Dakota. North Dakota produces crude oil/petroleum, natural gas, coal, sand, and gravel.

Answer 7

North Dakota's resources include petroleum, coal and natural gas.
