Question

Write 3 ways in which your life will be affected if all the minerals in the world get used up​

Answer 1

Answer:

Minerals are the substances which are obtained from non-living beings directly from the earth.

These minerals are inert and non-reactive and present in deep layers of earth or the oceans.

Explanation:

On extraction from the earth, these minerals are purified and isolated to produce the actual elements needed.

Minerals are mostly extracted to isolate metals like gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, mercury, etc.

Also, they are extracted to isolate radioactive substances like plutonium, uranium, etc.

Besides these, clay-like materials like silica-related, bentonite, talc, steatite are also extracted.
