Lots of things on Earth are unevenly distributed. Mineral deposits, water, fertile land, mild climates…

  Quite probably only if we're ignoring the z-axis (depth), at least when talking over minerals. I think it will be a game-changer if a few km of rock won't be a hindrance anymore. If that ever comes, that is.

    Some elements are kind of well distributed but not others: gold for example, or minerals or hydrocarbons, or even wind.

      There’s a huge amount of gold (and other stuff) dissolved in seawater. Something like 20 million tons of it. The trouble is that it’s too evenly distributed. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/gold-ocean-sea-hoax-science-water-boom-rush-treasure https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/gold-ocean-sea-hoax-sc...
