Question

Why do variations in the presence of mineral resources occur in India?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Minerals are used for a large variety of purposes, either directly or processed into other useful products (Davis, 2005b; Kesler, 1994). These minerals can be conveniently divided into three categories: fuel minerals, industrial minerals, and metallic minerals (see Table 1) (Davis, 2005a). (And although we are mostly dealing here with minerals, in reality, the scope is much larger, and it is usual for rocks to be included as mineral resources as well. Note that coal and hydrocarbon deposits are not usually considered as mineral resources and are dealt with in a separate section; similarly, nuclear energy resources are also covered elsewhere.)
