Zorluk: ZorMineral and Energy Resources in Nigeria

Match each Nigerian mineral or energy resource site on the left with its corresponding geographical location or industrial application on the right.

  • Shiroro Power StationHydroelectric dam constructed on the Kaduna River in Niger State
  • Coal deposits of the Mamu FormationSub-bituminous coal fields centered around Enugu and Kogi States
  • Itakpe Hill depositsHigh-grade iron ore reserves supplying the domestic steel industry in Kogi State
  • Ewekoro and Gboko reservesSedimentary limestone deposits providing raw materials for cement manufacturing in Ogun and Benue States

Cevap

Shiroro Power Station matches the hydroelectric dam on the Kaduna River in Niger State; Coal deposits of the Mamu Formation match sub-bituminous coal fields centered around Enugu and Kogi States; Itakpe Hill deposits match high-grade iron ore reserves supplying the domestic steel industry in Kogi State; Ewekoro and Gboko reserves match sedimentary limestone deposits providing raw materials for cement manufacturing in Ogun and Benue States.
Each resource site correctly maps to its geographical location and primary application: Shiroro is a major hydroelectric station on the Kaduna River in Niger State; coal is extracted from Cretaceous Mamu Formation strata in Enugu and Kogi; Itakpe in Kogi contains high-grade iron ore reserves; Ewekoro and Gboko supply key limestone inputs for regional cement industries.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary river basin and host state for the Shiroro Hydroelectric Power scheme.
Shiroro Dam is situated across the Kaduna River in Niger State.
This establishes the correct hydroelectric energy site association.
2
Examine the geological formation and spatial occurrence of coal in Nigeria.
Coal occurs in the Cretaceous sedimentary Mamu Formation, notably at Enugu and Okaba in Kogi State.
This links sub-bituminous coal to its primary geological host formation and regions.
3
Locate the primary iron ore extraction field supporting Nigeria's iron and steel development.
Itakpe Hill in Kogi State contains major high-grade iron ore deposits.
Itakpe supplies the raw ore for domestic steel processing plants.
4
Correlate major industrial limestone quarrying sites with regional cement plants.
Ewekoro (Ogun State) and Gboko (Benue State) harbor rich sedimentary limestone beds.
Limestone is the fundamental calcium carbonate raw material for industrial cement production.
