MINERALS AND
ENERGY RESOURCES
WHAT IS A MINERAL?
Minerals are naturally occurring substances with a
definable internal structure.
They are formed through geological processes
over extended periods, often millions of years.
Minerals can be found in rocks, soil, and water.
They serve various purposes, including providing
nutrients for plants and animals and constituting
the building blocks of rocks.
Additionally, minerals are essential in
manufacturing various products such as
electronics, jewelry, and construction materials.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF ROCKS?
IGNEOUS ROCKS
These rocks form from the
cooling and solidification of
molten material, either magma
or lava. Examples of igneous
rocks include granite, basalt,
and rhyolite. Rhyolite
