14-1 Notes What are Mineral Resources? * Nonrenewable Resources: a concentration of naturally occurring material in or on the earth’s crust that can be extracted and processed at an affordable cost. Non-renewable resources are mineral and energy resources such as coal‚ oil‚ gold‚ and copper that take a long period of time to produce. * Metallic Mineral Resources – iron‚ copper‚ aluminum * Nonmetallic Mineral Resources – salt‚ gypsum‚ clay‚ sand‚ phosphates‚ water and soil. * Energy

Zirconium is a chemical element with the symbol Zr‚ atomic number 40 and atomic mass of 91.224. The name of zirconium is taken from the mineral zircon‚ the most important source of zirconium. It is a lustrous‚ grey-white‚ strong transition metal that resembles titanium. Zirconium is mainly used as a refractory and opacifier‚ although minor amounts are used as alloying agent for its strong resistance to corrosion. Zirconium forms a variety of inorganic and organometallic compounds such as zirconium

Natural resources are the wealth supplied bynature that is available for human use. Naturalresources include water‚ soil‚ forests‚ fish‚ energyand mineral deposits‚ and wildlife and naturalscenery. Australia has a greater value of naturalresources per head of population than any othercountry in the world. The main reason is that wehave a small population in a very large country.
