Difficulty: MediumMineral and Energy Resources of India

Match the major mineral mining centers in List-I with their primary mineral resources in List-II:

  • BailadilaIron Ore
  • KhetriCopper
  • KodarmaMica
  • NeyveliLignite Coal

Answer

Bailadila corresponds to Iron Ore, Khetri corresponds to Copper, Kodarma corresponds to Mica, and Neyveli corresponds to Lignite Coal.
Bailadila in Chhattisgarh is celebrated for rich hematite iron ore reserves. Khetri in Rajasthan is a major copper belt. Kodarma in Jharkhand is renowned for mica production. Neyveli in Tamil Nadu houses extensive lignite coal fields.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary mineral resource extracted at the Bailadila deposit.
Bailadila (Chhattisgarh) is matched with Iron Ore.
The Bailadila hill range contains massive deposits of high-grade hematite iron ore.
2
Determine the resource associated with the Khetri mining belt.
Khetri (Rajasthan) is matched with Copper.
The Khetri Belt along the Aravalli range has been an important copper extraction zone since historical times.
3
Determine the mineral mined predominantly in the Kodarma region.
Kodarma (Jharkhand) is matched with Mica.
Kodarma lies along the northern fringe of the Chota Nagpur Plateau, known as a major mica belt.
4
Identify the energy resource associated with Neyveli.
Neyveli (Tamil Nadu) is matched with Lignite Coal.
Neyveli is home to extensive open-cast tertiary lignite fields utilized for thermal power production.
