This document discusses minerals and their classification. It defines minerals as naturally occurring substances with definite chemical compositions. Minerals are categorized as metallic or non-metallic. Metallic minerals contain metals and are further divided into ferrous, containing iron, and non-ferrous. Non-metallic minerals do not contain metals and include coal, petroleum, and mica. The document also outlines methods of mineral extraction including mining, drilling, quarrying, and their distribution in different rock types.

Natural resources (economically referred to as land or raw materials) occur naturally within environments that exist relatively undisturbed by mankind, in a natural form. A natural resource is often characterized by amounts of biodiversity existent in various ecosystems.
Water is facing a crisis today.
Water scarcity affects all social and economic sectors.
Water footprint measures the consumption and contamination of freshwater resources.
Mica, Conservation of minerals and Hazards of miningWafaRazak
This PPT was actually done for a class activity. I am a student in 10th CBSE board. This PPT is all about The mineral mica, Its uses, Conservations of minerals and Hazards of mining.
Non–renewable resources are those which once used up ,are exhausted, and are either non renewed by nature, or renewed very slowly over millions of years.
example-Fuels like coal and petroleum, and minerals like gold, iron and copper.
why is it important to save minerals-The mineral resources on the earth are non- renewable.
Once used up , they will not be available to us any more.
Mineral such as coal and petroleum , which give us fuels for providing energy , are being used up rapidly.
We should used this resources carefully and not waste them.
To save these minerals we should depend more on sources of energy that will never get used up, for example, solar energy and wind energy.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

3. Introduction to the lesson
A naturally occurring substance that has a definite
chemical composition is known as minerals. Minerals
are the backbone of industrial and technological
development of a country. We all are living in an iron
age which is based on the presence of minerals.
4. Features of minerals
• Minerals are unevenly distributed in
the world.
• Minerals do not occur in its pure form.
• These are extracted from the earth
crust in raw form with the process of
mining.
5. • Minerals are less useful in its raw
form. They can only be used after
removing the impurities.
• Minerals are found in some
particular areas of the earth.
• They are also present in the ocean
and the Atlantic continent.
Although these areas are not
easily accessible but still they
have a great wealth of mineral
resources.
6. • Minerals are formed under different geological
environment.
• Minerals are created through natural processes without
human interference.
• Hardness, density and colour are the physical properties
has solubility is the chemical property of the minerals.
• They are identified on the basis of their physical and
chemical properties.
8. Metallic minerals
• Metallic minerals are those
which contains metals in
their raw form. Ex: iron ore,
magnesium, Bauxite,
chromium, gold, silver, etc.
9. Ferrous minerals
• Minerals have high iron
content.
• Iron ore, magnesium,
chromite are the examples
of ferrous minerals.
10. Non ferrous minerals
• These minerals do not
have iron contents.
• Ex: gold, silver, lead and
copper, etc.
11. Features of metallic minerals
The main features of nonferrous minerals
are:
Ductility
Elasticity
Malleability
Sectile
Gravity
Lustre and colour
12. On the basis of value the metallic
minerals can be further the divided into
two groups
• Precious minerals- gold
and silver
• Semi precious minerals-
copper and zinc
13. Non-Metallic minerals
• Minerals that do not
have metals are called
non metallic minerals.
• Coal petroleum Mica
gypsum etc are the
examples of non
metallic minerals.
14. Non metallic minerals
• The non metallic minerals can
also be categorised on the
basis of their property of
lusture. Example adamantine
has a bright colour, kaolin has
a dull colour whereas gypsum
has sheen to silk.
15. Non- Metallic minerals
• Some non metallic minerals maybe
greasy resinous and waxy.
• The mineral fuels such as coal and
petroleum are also non metallic
minerals.
• Non metallic minerals are those which
do not yield new products on melting.
16. Non metallic minerals
• These are generally associated
with sedimentary rocks.
• They are not so hard and have no
shine on lusture of their own.
• They are not ductile and malleable.
• When hit, they may get broken
into pieces.
18. Mining
• It is the process of taking out
minerals from rocks buried
under the earth's surface.
Mining is of two types:
• Open cast mining
• Shaft mining
19. Open cast mining
• Open cast mining is
done when a mineral is
located very close to
the surface.
• in the open cast mining
different minerals are
taken out by removing
the surface layer.
• This is famous for coal
mining in India.
20. Shaft mining
• Word shaft refers to deep
bores.
• In shaft mining the bores
are created to reach
mineral deposits.
• This is because these
deposits lie at great depth.
• Petroleum and natural gas
are extracted by shaft
mining.
21. Drilling
• Through the process of
drilling deep wells are
bored to take the
minerals out. Example
dip wells are made to
extract oil and natural
gas by the oil and
natural gas
commission(ONGC) of
India.
22. Quarrying
• The process of
quarrying is
used to extract
minerals that
lie near the
earth's
surface.
23. Distribution of mineral resources
• Mineral resources are unevenly distributed in the
world.
• These are found in different rocks such as
igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
• the metallic minerals like iron ore copper nickel
chromite and platinum are found in igneous and
metamorphic rocks .
• Metallic minerals like limestone, Manganese, etc
are found in sedimentary rocks.
• Mineral fuels like coal and petroleum are also
found in sedimentary rocks.
