CBSE Notes Class 8 Geography Chapter 3-Mineral and Power Resources

A naturally occurring substance with a definite chemical composition is a mineral and they are not evenly distributed over space. Minerals are concentrated in a particular area or rock formations. A few of these minerals are found in areas, which are not easily accessible such as the Arctic ocean bed and Antarctica. 

Minerals are also formed in several types of geological environments, under varying conditions. They are created by natural processes without any human interference. They can be identified on the basis of their physical properties such as colour, density, hardness and chemical property such as solubility.

All these and concepts related to these topics are discussed at length in Chapter 3 of CBSE Class 8 Geography. One of the best ways to revise the entire chapter is to browse through these CBSE Notes Class 8 Geography Chapter 3-Mineral and Power Resources that we have compiled in this article.
