- 1. (c) ferrous — Iron-containing minerals are ferrous.
- 2. (d) non-conventional — They are non-conventional (renewable) sources.
- 3. (a) non-ferrous — They are non-ferrous metallic minerals.
- 4. (b) flowing water — It comes from flowing/falling water.
- 5. Metallic minerals that contain iron, such as iron ore and manganese.
- 6. Solar and wind (also tidal, geothermal, biogas).
- 7. Minerals are broadly classified into metallic and non-metallic types. Metallic minerals are those from which metals are obtained; they are further divided into ferrous minerals, which contain iron such as iron ore and manganese, and non-ferrous minerals, which do not, such as copper, bauxite and gold. Non-metallic minerals, such as mica and limestone, do not yield metals. In addition, mineral fuels like coal and petroleum are energy minerals. Minerals occur in different forms: in veins and lodes within cracks of igneous and metamorphic rocks, in beds or layers formed by deposition in sedimentary rocks, and as alluvial or placer deposits in the sands of valley floors where they have been washed down and concentrated.
