उत्तर
India is blessed with plenty of metallic and non-metallic mineral resources. However, they are unevenly distributed due to differences or variations in geological structures, processes and time involved in the formation of minerals. For instance,
- The majority of coal reserves, metallic minerals, mica, and many other non-metallic minerals.
- Sedimentary rocks in Gujarat and Assam have petroleum deposits.
- Rajasthan has the same rock systems as Peninsular India but has rich non-ferrous minerals.
- The alluvial plains of North India are mostly devoid of mineral resources.
