प्रश्न
Name non-ferrous metal. Discuss their spatial distribution.
उत्तर
India is poorly endowed with non-ferrous metallic minerals except bauxite and copper. Bauxite: Bauxite is found mainly in tertiary deposits and is associated with laterite rocks occurring extensively either on the plateau or hill ranges of peninsular India and also in the coastal tracts of the country. Bauxite is the ore for Aluminium. Odisha happens to be the largest producer of Bauxite. Kalahandi and Sambalpur are the leading producers.
The other two areas which have been increasing their production are Bolangir and Koraput. The peatlands of Jharkhand in Lohardaga have rich deposits. Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra are other major producers. Bhavanagar, Jamnagar in Gujarat have major deposits. Chhattisgarh has bauxite deposits in the Amarkantak plateau while the Katni-Jabalpur area and Balaghat in M.P. have important deposits of bauxite. Kolaba, Thane, Ratnagiri, Satara, Pune, and Kolhapur in Maharashtra are important producers. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Goa are minor producers of bauxite Copper:
The Copper deposits mainly occur in the Singhbhum district in Jharkhand, Balaghat district in Madhya Pradesh, and Jhunjhunu and Alwar districts in Rajasthan. It is imperative for the electrical industry. Minor producers of Copper are Agnigundala in Guntur District (Andhra Pradesh), Chitradurga and Hasan districts (Karnataka), and South Arcot district (Tamil Nadu).
