Minerals are naturally occurring substances with a defined internal structure. They are found in rocks and sediments in various forms ranging from hard diamonds to soft talc. Minerals are classified as metallic, which include ferrous, non-ferrous and precious metals, or non-metallic. India's important metallic minerals include iron, manganese, copper and bauxite while non-metallic minerals include mica and limestone. Minerals occur in igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks as well as weathered rocks and alluvial deposits. Energy resources include conventional sources like coal, petroleum and electricity obtained from thermal power plants. Non-conventional energy sources encompass nuclear energy, solar energy, wind

• They are indispensable part of our
lives.
• Life processes can’t occur without
minerals.
• The food we eat contains minerals.
• Cars , buses are manufactured from
minerals.

(i) Copper –
- Production of cu is critically deficient in India .
- Cu is malleable , ductile & a good conductor .
- Used in electrical cables & chemical industries .
- Malghat mines in MP produce 52% of copper .
- Khetri mines in Rajasthan is also famous for
cu production .

12. (ii) Bauxite –
- It is a clay like substance .
- Bauxite deposits formed by decomposition of
rocks rich in aluminium silicates .
- Aluminium combines the strength of metals with
extreme lightness & with good conductivity &
malleability.
- Largest producer – Orissa (45%)

14. Non-metallic minerals
(i)Mica –
- Made up of a series of plates or leaves.
-It can be clear, black ,green or brown.
- Mica deposits r found in the northern edge of
Chota nagpur plateau.
-Koderma Gaya – Hazaribagh belt of
Jharkhand is the leading producer.

- Limestone
- Found in association with rocks composed
of calcium carbonates or calcium &
magnesium carbonates.
- Found in sedimentary rocks.
-Raw material for cement industry.
- Essential for smelting iron ore in the blast
furnace.

18. Conservation of minerals
-Minerals can be conserved in by the following
measures:
· Use of improved technologies to allow use of
low grade minerals at low costs
· Using substitutes
· Use of scrap metals
· Recycling of metals is good way in which the
mineral resources can be conserved.
-They can be used in a judicious manner

19. Energy resources
Understanding energy resources involves
considering all types of energy source from
various scientific and technological standpoints,
with a focus on the uses, limitations and
consequences of using energy that is available
to humanity.

20. Conventional sources of energy
(i) Coal –
- Used for power generation , to supply energy- to
industry as well as for domestic needs .
- India is highly dependent on coal .
- Formed due the compression of plant material over
million of years .
- Lignite is a low grade brown coal , which is soft
with high moisture content .
- Coal that has been buried deep & subjected to
increased temperaturesis bituminous coal .
- Anthracite is the highest quality hard coal .
20abdul shumz kv kanjikoed

21. (ii) Petroleum –
- Major energy source in India after coal .
- Provides fuel for heat , lighting & manufacturing
industries .
- Also found in fault traps between porous & non-
porous rocks .
- 63% of India’s petroleum production is from
Mumbai High .
- Assam is the oldest oil producing state .
21abdul shumz kv kanjikoed

22. (iii) Electricity –
- It is mainly generated by 2 ways-
~ Hydro electricity is generated by fast flowing
water .
~ Thermal electricity is generated by using coal,
petroleum & natural gas. There r 310 power
plants in India.

25. Non – conventional sources of
energy
(i) Nuclear & atomic energy
- Obtained by altering the structure of atoms.
- Uranium & thorium r used for generating atomic or
nuclear energy .
(ii) Solar energy
-Solar Energy is the energy received from the sun that
sustains life on earth
-For many decades solar energy has been considered
as a huge source of energy and also an economical
source of energy because it is freely available.
25abdul shumz kv kanjikoed

26. (iii) Wind power
-Wind power is produced by using wind
generators to harness the kinetic energy of wind.
- It is gaining worldwide popularity as a large
scale energy source .
(iv) Biogas
- It is a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide it
is a renewable fuel produced from waste
treatment.
26abdul shumz kv kanjikoed

27. - Biogas is best used directly for cooking/heating,
light or even absorption refrigeration rather
than the complication and energy waste of
trying to make electricity from biogas.
27abdul shumz kv kanjikoed

28. Conservation of energy resources
- Choose energy efficient appliances when making
new purchases.
- Do not leave appliances on standby.
- Cover your pots while cooking.
- Recycle your organic waste.
- Reduce the number of miles you drive by
walking, biking, carpooling or taking mass
transit wherever possible.
