The Appalachian Mountain range, located in the eastern part of the United States, in close proximity to the Atlantic coastline, are rich in multiple natural resources. Some of the most common resources being the coal, petroleum and natural gas, iron, as well as lumber from multiple types of high quality trees. The silver, on the other hand, is not one of the natural resources that are abundant in this region of the country, thus can not be included into the riches of the Appalachians.

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor and support life. About 29.2% of Earth's surface is land consisting of continents and islands. The remaining 70.8% is covered with water, mostly by oceans, seas, gulfs, and other salt-water bodies, but also by lakes, rivers, and other freshwater, which together constitute the hydrosphere. Much of Earth's polar regions are covered in ice. Earth's outer layer is divided into several rigid tectonic plates that migrate across the surface over many millions of years, while its interior remains active with a solid iron inner core, a liquid outer core that generates Earth's magnetic field, and a convective mantle that drives plate tectonics.
