Question 4 of 10
4. Question
Minerals formed from solidification of molten matter in the crack, crevices, faults or joints are found in which types of rocks?
Correct
In igneous and metamorphic rocks minerals may occur in the cracks, crevices, faults or joints. The smaller occurrences are called veins and the larger are called lodes.

Question 5 of 10
5. Question
Which of the following is a major metallic mineral obtained from veins and lodes?
Correct
The smaller occurrences of cracks are called veins and the larger are called lodes. Major metallic minerals like tin, copper, zinc and lead etc. are obtained from veins and lodes.
Incorrect

Question 6 of 10
6. Question
Minerals are deposited and accumulated in strata of which of the following rocks?
Correct
In sedimentary rocks a number of minerals occur in beds or layers. They have been formed as a result of deposition, accumulation and concentration in horizontal strata.

Question 8 of 10
8. Question
Which of the following regions of India contain most of the reserves of coal, metallic minerals, mica and many other non-metallic minerals?
Correct
Peninsular rocks contain most of the reserves of coal, metallic minerals, mica and many other non-metallic minerals. Sedimentary rocks on the western and eastern flanks of the peninsula, in Gujarat and Assam have most of the petroleum deposits.

Question 9 of 10
9. Question
Which of the following regions of India is almost devoid of economic minerals?
Correct
The vast alluvial plains of north India are almost devoid of economic minerals. These variations exist largely because of the differences in the geological structure, processes and time involved in the formation of minerals.
