Geography Class 12 Term 2, Answer to the question –Explain any two ways to conserve minerals in India.

The answer to the question – Alternative energy sources like solar power, wind, wave, and geothermal energy are inexhaustible resources. These have been developed to replace exhaustible resources.

In the case of metallic minerals, the use of scrap metals will enable the recycling of metals. The use of scrap is especially significant in metals like copper, lead and zinc in which India’s reserves are meagre. The use of substitutes for scarce metals may also reduce their consumption.
