Everything that you see that is made of metal comes from rocks. Bicycles, computers, cars, cutlery - it is all taken out of rocks in the form of ';ore minerals';, such as bornite, chalcopyrite, argentite, cobaltite, and a million other minerals. Computers use hundreds of different metals and alloys in their construction, all of which have to be mined out of the ground at some point. Your computer even has gold and platinum in it. Copper makes up the wiring in your house.
It might be easier to think of what DOESN'T come from rocks and minerals. That would leave us with: water, wood, food, and most clothing (not synthetic clothing, mind you - that comes from oil... sort of). Everything else is from rocks and minerals - gypsum makes up your ';gyp';rock walls in your house - nails (iron) holds the house together. Mineral aggregates are used to pave roads and sidewalks.What is the use of rocks and minerals in our everyday life?
The Earth is made up of rocks, soil comes from rocks. All the metals that we use comes from rocks. They occur in minerals called ores. Even the salt we eat is a type of mineral.What is the use of rocks and minerals in our everyday life?
there is a saying if you cant grow it you have to mine it...Rocks and minerals play a part in everything you do and use...
