G E O G R A P H Y. ART INTEGRATED PROJECT. CONSERVATION OF MINERALS.

SLIDE SHOW DONE BY.

NEED FOR CONSERVATION OF MINERALS. We are rapidly consuming mineral resources that require millions of years to be created and concentrated. Minerals can be conserved in the following ways: Reduce wastage in the process of mining. Recycling of metals using scrap metals. Use of alternative renewable substitutes. Use of mineral resources in a planned and sustainable manner Use of improved technologies to allow the use of low-grade ores at low costs..

CONSERVATION METHODS. • Improvising the technology so that low-grade ores can be used profitably . • By re-using, recuperating, and recycling methods, materials can be manufactured from minerals, and by replacing other materials as well. In many cases, the cost of recuperating and recycling is much higher than continuing to extract and process minerals. At hand is a lot of material available on which how metals can be recycled and why others aren’t . • To find out new areas of minerals, one can always do innovative explorations for finding out the locations with the help of latest technology. In case of the India sea floor, explora¬tion and mining may yield good dividend..

• To reduce transport cost, processing plants should invariably be coated in mining areas. For weighty materials like coal, it is better to convert it into coking coal or in electricity near the pit heads. • People can conserve mineral resources by utilizing renewable resources. For example, using hydroelectricity and solar power as sources of energy may conserve mineral resources such as coal. • There is a great scope for the expansion of several mineral-based industries which open the new vista for economic development. • Mineral resources may also be conserved through recycling. A good example is recycling of scrap metal. • One should make use of new technological methods of mining. Training of miners can be very helpful in conserving mineral resources by ensuring minimal wastage during the mining. For e.g. minerals include iron, oil, copper, salt, gold and lead..

NEED FOR CONSERVATION OF ENERGY RESOURECE. Energy resources like coal, oil and natural gas can cause pollution and medical complications. Conservation of energy makes sure less carbon footprint and hence less pollution . Energy conservation minimizes the carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, lowering the chances of global warming . The hydropower plants require massive amounts of water to generate energy, but water is a scarce resource. The water should be conserved and cleaned to ensure a constant safe water supply . Energy conservation mitigates habitat destruction . The possibility of energy shortages will be eliminated with energy conservation..

CONSERVATION METHODS. 1.Planting more and more trees : Reforestation: It is the process of replanting the area with trees and aforestation is planting trees in the area where there was previously no vegetation 2.Reduce , recycle and reuse: Reducing the amount of waste created Recycling by making a new product from waste. Reusing is using items more than once . 3.Use less electrical appliances: Using sunlight instead of artificial lights . 4.Switching off electricity when not in use and turning off taps to prevent leakage..

5.Usage of conventional sources of energy example sunlight, hydro energy, wind energy .Instead of cars and bikes, a bicycle should be used as it conserves fuel . 6.Carpooling should be made compulsory: It is the sharing of a car instead of the use of different private transport by different people and people should use more and more public transport . 7.Conserve water and reduce wastage of water . 8.Use public transport and public services should be used 9.Awareness should be spread in schools and among the youth for the conservation of various natural resources.
