In this presentation we are going to talk about

our minerals. Their different types. We will

also be discussing about the occurrence of
different minerals and also how to conserve
them. And then we would have a look
towards the data of 2003-04 production of
various minerals in various states.

Can be classed into three types:

Ferrous Containing: Minerals that contain iron
in them are said to be Ferrous Minerals. Eg:iron ore, manganese, nickle.
Non-ferrous: Minerals that dose not contain
iron are called Non-Ferrous Minerals. Eg:copper, lead, tin.
Precious: those minerals that occur natutrally
and have high economic value are known as
Precious Minerals. Eg:- gold, silver, platinum.

Minerals that appears to be dull and not really

reflective can be said Non-Metallic Minerals.
Eg:- mica, salt, potash, sulphur, granite,
limestone, marble etc.,

Minerals through which we obtain required

energy for our industrial as well as daily
purposes is known as Energy Minerals. Eg:coal, petroleum and bio gas.

 In

igneous and metamorphic rocks.

In sedimentary rocks.
While decomposition if surface of rocks.
As alluvial deposits.

Minerals may occur in the cracks, crevices,

faults or joints of these rocks. In most cases
they are found when minerals in their
different forms are forced upward through
cavities towards the earth surface. They cool
down and solidify as they rise up. Eg:copper, zinc, lead.

Here minerals occur in beds or layers. They

form as a result of deposition and getting
concentrated in the horizontal strata. Eg:coal, gypsum, potash salt.

In this the removal of soluble constituents

takes place and leaves residual mass of
weathered materials that contains ores. Eg:Bauxite.

Minerals can also occur in sand of valley floors

and the base of hills. These are called Placer
Deposits. Minerals found here can not be
easily corroded by water. Eg:- gold, silver,
tin.

iron in automobiles

Manganese in paints

Mica in electronic industries

Silicon, limestone etc in paste And fluoride in cleaning teeth's

Copper in chemical
industries

Limestone in Cement industry Coal for power generation

Natural gas in petrochemical industry as raw material

& energy source

Fuel from petroleum for automobiles

We need to conserve our mineral resources

because even if they are more in quantity
they are gonna to be come to an end some
or the other day. Even if they are renewable
resource the took millions of year to get
renew. Thats why we need to conserve our
mineral resources.

 Thank

you Anita Maam for giving me such a

wonderful project on Minerals and Energy
Resources.
And we are aware of conservation of
resources.
They are formed naturally and take long time
to form.

THANK YOU
