You can just search it up.
But you know it's probably not uranium because Mexico isn't a nuclear state

We can eliminate c and d because it does not make sense that Mexico would have those resources. So that leaves us with a and b. So which one could be the correct answer?

SmokeyBrown · Answer

According to two resources I'll link below, a large source of Mexico's natural resources come from mining. Specifically, "Mexico's natural resources include silver, oil, copper and agricultural crops" (reference.com). Additionally, "in 2010, the country was the leading producer of silver... Gold is also a major mineral that accounts for a huge portion of the mineral sector" Based on these sources, it seems like both silver and gold are found in Mexico in large quantities, but the question asks which resource Mexico is "currently known for". Is there anything you can think of in your reading that would suggest one answer over the other? https://www.reference.com/science/natural-resources-mexico-e6951b33d070ed93 https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-are-the-major-natural-resources-of-mexico.html
