Question

How are minerals useful to us explain with the help of example ​

Answer 1

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.
