Mineral and Power Resources Introduction to Mineral Minerals are composed of inorganic particles. Minerals are found in the earth or are naturally occurring substances. They are found in rocks, and water. • Minerals are chemical substances. Some minerals like gold or silver are made of only one element. Other minerals, like quartz and calcite, are combinations of two or more elements. • Minerals always have the same chemical makeup. For example, quartz will always consist of one part silicon

INDUSTRY IN INDIA Corporate Catalyst India A report on Indian Iron and Steel Industry OVERVIEW 1.1 Background The Indian iron and steel industry is nearly a century old, with Tata Iron & Steel Co (Tata Steel) as the first integrated steel plant to be set up in 1907. It was the first core sector to be completely freed from the licensing regime (in 1990-91) and the pricing and distribution controls. The steel industry is expanding worldwide. For a number of years it has been benefiting from

associated with the use of fossil fuels to support the pillar of our technologically based society, has spurred a quest to find a better foundation on which to continue to build our civilization. Traditionally, large turbines are turned by steam heated by coal; these turbines act on an electric generator which uses magnets to induce a current on coils of wire. This has been the process of producing electricity for the past century. Since the discovery and implementation of electricity, the world has grown

biggest producer of wind turbines. Additionally, the country has begun pushing efforts to build nuclear power plants. By doing this, China would not have to rely on burning coal as their number one power source. As of January 29, 2013, China burns nearly as much coal as the rest of the world combined. Half of the coal burned in China is used in the large plants and factories. (Larson, 2013) When coal is burned it emits sulfur dioxide, which can cause respiratory issues and diseases. The Children’s hospitals

imaginative and profound to help me dig out all the possibilities towards answering the question in a smart way, conceptualizing it with modern science and technology. As many as 700,000 people a year die from indoor air pollution caused by burning coal for heating and cooking. A quarter of all early deaths are caused by respiratory diseases. This hazardous problem like uncountable diseases and death resulting from advancement in the field of science and technology and this becomes a big issue forcing

petroleum and coal based energy over the past eighty years, and not until recently have countries found a way to make clean energy more affordable. In this paper I will discuss a few types of clean energy and how they effect not only the environment we live in, but the economy we live in as well. Solar power is a science that has been around for over two hundred years, and the first solar panel was invented almost sixty years ago (Gruen). It has not been until the past ten years that solar power and solar

waterways have been contaminated with mercury from electric power plants, fish are no longer safe to eat because they, too, are contaminated with heavy metal pollutants. Other pollutants, like ozone and particulate matter, cause respiratory and other health problems, particularly in children and the elderly." Not only does it affect humans, it can also hurt the environment, all that pollution also goes into the soil and kills plants. Without plants, wildlife wouldn't survive. Air pollution also causes
