Minerals and Energy Resources provide the foundation for economic and industrial development.
They are used as a source of energy. They are obtained from sedimentary rocks. E.g.- Coal (Solid), Petroleum (Liquid) and Natural Gas (Gaseous)
The countries rich in minerals have a large potential for industrial development.
The uneven distribution of minerals creates the global trade.
Examples:
Iron: Manufacturing Machines, Automobiles, Rail Tracks, Electric Poles, Constructing Buildings, Bridges, Articles of General Use, etc.
Copper: Generators, Wireless Systems, Electric Motors, Radio, Telephone, Electric Wires, Refrigerators, Utensils, etc.
Bauxite: Electric Wires, Aeroplanes, Pipes, Windows Frames, Shutters, utensils, etc.
