Q. What is the importance of manganese? Name four laregest producer of it.
Ans. Manganese is an important raw material for smelting of iron ore and also used for manufacturing ferro alloys such as steel. Manganese deposits are found in Dharwar system. Orissa is the leading producer of Manganese. Karnataka, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh are other 3 states.
Q. What are the uses of Manganese?
Ans. Manganese is mainly used in the manufacturing of steel and ferro-manganese alloy. Nearly 10 kg of manganese is required to manufacture one tonne of steel. It is also used in manufacturing bleaching powder, insecticides and paints.
MICA
•Is a non-metallic mineral which is largely produced in India
•Prodn – abouat 10,500 tonnes in 94-95
•Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan – produce most of mica in India
•Bihar- 61% production in 1994, in a belt (160 km long) extending over Gaya, Hazari Bagh, Mungher districts
•Andhra Pradesh – mined in Nellore district
•Rajasthan – Ajmer, Bhilwara, Jaipur, Udaipur, Alwar, Mewar, Tonk districts
•Also found in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu
•Sri Lanka – produces some mica, the production in 1987 being about 203 tonnes

Q. Why Mica is considered the most important mineral in electric and electronic industries?
Ans. Due to its excellent di-electric strength, low power loss factor, insulating properties and resistance to high voltage, mica is one of the most indispensable minerals used in electric and electronic industries.
COPPER
•South Asia – deficient in copper and it is mainly produced in India.
•Singbhum district of Bihar – leading producer
•Santhal, Pargana, , Palamau, Hazaribagh and Gaya districts have some copper deposits
•Andhra – Gunturu, Khammam, Kurnool districts
•Madhya Pradesh – Balaghat district
•Rajasthan – Khetri & Singhana belt in Jhunjhunun, Khodariba belt in Alwar, Delwar, Keroveli belt in Udaipur districts
•Karnataka – Hassan , Chitradurga districts
•Maharashtra, Sikkim, Gujarath, U.P.
•In Pakistan some copper is found in Chhagai area of Baluchistan.

Q. What are the uses of Copper?
Ans. India is critically deficient in the reserve and production of copper. Being malleable, ductile and a good conductor, copper is mainly used in electrical cables, electronics and chemical industries.
Q. Describe the three copper producing regions of India.
Ans. Copper is very low reserves and production of copper.
a. Madhya Pradesh is the largest producer of copper in India. The Balaghat mines in Madhya Pradesh produce 52 per cent of India’s copper.
b. Rajasthan is the second largest producer of copper. The Khetri mines in Rajasthan are famous.
c. Jharkhand, the Singbhum district of it is also has large reserves of copper.
