Why are minerals important in your daily life?

Answer 1

World is covered in Natural Resources and some of these resources are finite. We use these resources in many ways in our everyday lives. Minerals make up a large percentage of these necessary resources. Minerals have numerous functions, including: building materials that go into almost every part of construction, appliances, toothpaste, jewelry, lubricants, paint, fertilizer, photography, drawing materials, cooking ingredients, utensils, coatings, machinery, chemical and pharmaceutical materials. Most of us have never taken the time to make the connection between minerals and their purposes, and to realize their great importance to society.
