Minerals are elements that originate in the Earth and cannot be made by living organisms. They are natural compounds formed through geological processes and are what remains as ash when plant or animal tissue is burned or decompose completely after death. Minerals are inorganic substances which means they are not formed by living matter and contain no carbon‚ and can be simply defined as chemical molecules which cannot be reduced to simpler substances. To be classified as a "true" mineral‚ a substance

* Minerals are non-renewable resources because the amounts that exist are finite although most are very abundant. * Economically recoverable resources account for a tiny proportion of the total that exists. * The main limitations on mineral availability are the locations‚ chemical form and purity of the deposits‚ and the availability of technologies to exploit them. * Their exploitation is economically important but can cause environmental damage. Factors affecting the viability of
