how rusting impacts a nation's economy and mineral wealth in India
Answers
Answer:
Just like water flows to the lowest
level, all natural processes tend toward the lowest possible energy
states. Thus, for example, iron and steel have a natural tendency to combine with other chemical elements to return to their lowest energy
states. In order to return to lower energy states, iron and steel frequently
combine with oxygen and water, both of which are present in most natural environments, to form hydrated iron oxides (rust), similar in chemical composition to the original iron ore

Explanation:
Several studies over the past 30 years have shown that the annual direct cost of corrosion to an industrial economy is approximately 3.1% of the country's Gross National Product (GNP). In the United States, this amounts to over $276 B per year. The Department of Defense alone has corrosion costs of $20 B.
