Question
Why is it important to conserve minerals?

Answer

Minerals are important for every country for its development and they need to be conserved because :
  1. Minerals are non-renewable resources which once used can’t be obtained again as it takes thousands of years to form.
  2. Workable minerals are in insufficient quantities (just 1 % of the earth’s crust)
  3. We are rapidly consuming mineral resources that require millions of years to be renewed.
  4. Industry and agriculture depend upon minerals and the substances manufacture from them.
