Dear student,
The different types of iron are magnetite, massive hematite, limonite, and siderite. These differ from each other as hematite and magnetite have rich iron ore contents nearly 70% iron or more than that. On the other hand, siderite and limonite have less iron ore content that is 40% or to less than 60%. Magnetite is mostly found in the states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala. Hematite is found in Jharkhand, Goa, Bihar, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, etc. Limonite is found in the Mirzapur and Garhwal districts of Uttar Pradesh and Kangra valley of Himachal Pradesh. Siderite is found in Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Goa, and Tamil Nadu.
