Question

Why do we need to conserve mineral resources?

Open in App
Solution

We need to conserve mineral resources because-
  • Over exploitation of resources is the most serious problem and consequently they get exhausted.
  • They are non renewable and it takes millions of years for them to form again.
  • Continued extraction of ores leads to increasing costs as mineral extraction comes from greater depths along with decrease in quality.
