There are two categories of ores, metals and nonnetals. In their
natural state, metals are usually found mixed with rock rather than in a
pure form. After the metallic ore is mined, it is crushed and the waste
rock is removed. Chemical processes are then used to further purify the
aetal. Metals are especially useful because they are strong, can be struck
and shaped without losing strength, and because many of them can conduct
electricity. Iron, the strongest natural metal, can be made even stronger
by mixing it with other elements to form steel.
Nonmetallic ores include rocks and minerals. At least 35 of
these substances are used in industry. For example, sand, limestone, and
clay are used in the construction industry to make bricks, cement, and
concrete. Many minerals, such as phosphates, nitrates, and potash are
used as fertilizers in agriculture. Most nonmetals must also be processed
before using.
