These are the natural resources found on the mother
earth but they cannot be renewed. They are also present in the organisms as both in
the form of organic as well as inorganic forms hence one can find the traces of
minerals in almost everywhere.
|
The calcium, phosphorous, sodium ,chlorine and sulphur
are the major minerals you can find in the animals and also in the human beings and
small traces of iron, copper, cobalt, zinc, fluorine and selenium can also be found
.theminerals in the plant kingdom are divided into two parts the micro and macro
nutrients .

Mineral Resources Macro
Nutrients |
The macro nutrients consist of the calcium, magnesium,
sulphur and iron whereas the micro nutrients comprises of the manganese, cobalt,
zinc and chlorine. The minerals are present all most everywhere in the world at
some places they are in bulk and at some parts of the earth only traces can be
found.
Hence it depends on the geography and also the
topography of a place. Depending upon the amount and terrain the mineral can be
found and at all places all the minerals cannot be found hence there are
international collaborations among different countries to exchange their
minerals.
Their distribution is totally unequal for example India
is rich in coal, manganese, iron, chromite’s and mica. It is deficit in gold,
silver and nickel etc…in the north America there is abundance of molybdenum but
deficit of tin, manganese.

Mineral Resources are found in
abundance |
However the deficit minerals can be found in abundant
in INDONESIA and MALAYSIA as in SOUTH AFRICA more amount of gold and uranium
resources can be found . New projects are continuously being taken up by different
companies to explore the new sources of energy as because the minerals contribute
to most of our fuel demands either directly or indirectly everyone depends on the
mineral resources even our body minerals if get deficit are to be balanced with
proper diet and nutrition i.e. the diet having the highest
nutrients.
|
The minerals must be conserved and should be used
properly our future generations should be kept in mind when we are using the
resources as because their safety is our main concern and they should not be
left in the dark various types of mineral resources are found in various parts of
the world they are to be conserved properly and many rules are also being made
against the use of resources they should be used in a proper manner .there will be
many problems if the resources are getting deficit.
|
Mineral resources are of geographic interest and not of
economic interest because public safety is also most important the government shall
not take any risks in this matter if we are consuming the minerals in same
rate then there would be a great deficit of mineral resources in a century almost
all the countries are taking proper measures to protect their natural resources and
are also trying their best for alternate type of fuels and they are also
succeeding in their experiments but still they are working with their full
efficiency.
