Hey mate❤
Here is your answer.
MINERAL RESOURCES
Mineral resources are the key material basis for social-economic development.
Statistical results show that nore than 95% of energy used by mankind, 80% indistrial raw materials and 70% raw materials for agricultural production are from mineral resources.
Mineral resources can be divided into two major categories:-
- Metallic mineral resources
- Non-metallic mineral resources
Mining in Antarctica would be very difficult,dangerous and expensive as the climate is so harsh, the ice is very thick and Antarctica is very remote from major centres of population. In the last 50 years of scientific research, no large deposits of mineralized rocks have been found.
Drilling would also be difficult because of the vast quantities of moving ice and glaciers as well as the huge depth.
