The Iron element is a non-renewable resource available in finite quantity on the Earth’s surface. It is utilised more rapidly before it can be formed naturally. Thus, Iron is a non-renewable resource. Iron ores are ore extracted from minerals and rocks containing iron oxides and converted to metallic Iron.

These minerals can be recognized based on their physical properties such as density, colour, hardness, and chemical properties like solubility.

The minerals are natural substances with finite quantities on the Earth’s surface. It forms under various geographical conditions and is a non-renewable resource.
