NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Social Geography Chapter 5 Minerals and Energy Resources<\/h3>\n
\nDistinguish between the following
\n(a) Ferrous and non-ferrous minerals
\n(b) Conventional and non-conventional sources of energy.
\nSolution:<\/span><\/strong>
\n(a) Ferrous Minerals:
\nFerrous minerals account for about three-fourths of the total value of the production of metallic minerals. They provide a strong base for the development of metallurgical industries. India exports substantial quantities of ferrous minerals after meeting her internal demands.<\/p>\n
\nIndia\u2019s reserves and production of non- ferrous minerals is not very satisfactory. However, these minerals, which include copper, bauxite, lead, zinc, and gold, play a vital role in a number of metallurgical, engineering, and electrical industries. Let us study the distribution of copper and bauxite.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\nWhat is a mineral?
\nSolution:<\/span><\/strong>
\nGeologists define a mineral as a “homogenous, naturally occurring substance with a definable internal structure.” Minerals are found in varied forms in nature, ranging from the hardest diamond to the softest one. Minerals are an indispensable part of our lives. Almost everything we use, from a tiny pin to a towering building or a big ship, all are made from minerals. The railway lines and the tarmac (paving) of the roads, our implements and machinery too are made from minerals. Cars, buses, trains, aeroplanes are manufactured from minerals and run on power resources derived from the earth. Even the food that we eat contains minerals. In all stages of development, human beings have used minerals for their livelihood, decoration, festivities, religious and ceremonial rites.<\/p>\n\n
\nHow are minerals formed in igneous and metamorphic rocks?
\nSolution:<\/span><\/strong>
\nIn igneous and metamorphic rocks, minerals may occur in the cracks, crevices, faults or joints. The smaller occurrences are called veins and the larger are called lodes. In most cases, they are formed when minerals in liquid, molten and gaseous forms are forced upward through cavities towards the earth\u2019s surface. They cool and solidify as they rise. Major metallic minerals like tin, copper, zinc and lead etc. are obtained from veins and lodes.<\/p>\n
\nHow do we need to conserve mineral resources?
\nSolution:<\/span><\/strong>
\nIn order to conserve mineral resources, we must see to that our consumption of minerals does not increase our wants. We must remember that these resources are one of the greatest gifts of God and we must use these in such a manner that our future generations also enjoy this gift.<\/p>\n
\nDescribe the distribution of coal in India.
\nSolution:<\/span><\/strong>
\nIn India coal occurs in rock series of two main geological ages, namely Gondwana, a little over 200 million years in age and in tertiary deposits which are only about 55 million years old. The major resources of Gondwana coal, which are metallurgical coal, are located in Damodar valley (West Bengal-Jharkhand). Jharia, Raniganj, Bokaro are important coalfields. The Godavari, Mahanadi, Son and Wardha valleys also contain coal deposits. Tertiary coals occur in the northeastern states of Meghalaya, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland. Jharkhand is the largest producer where Jharia, Bokaro, karampur , Palamu are the major coalfields. In West Bengal, Raniganj, Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling are the coalfields. Sarguja, Bilaspur, Raigarh and Bastar districts are coal fields found in Chhatisgarh. M.P. has coal fields in Chinaware district and in Maharashtra, Chanda is the main field.<\/p>\n
\nWhy do you think that solar energy has a bright future in India?
\nSolution:<\/span><\/strong>
\nSolar energy has a bright future in India because<\/p>\n\n
\nDescribe the impact of globalisation on Indian agriculture.
\nSolution:<\/span><\/strong>
\nGlobalization is the new trend in the world scenario, which aims at integrating our economy with that of the world:<\/p>\n\n
