Metallic mineral resources are stronger than nonmetallic mineral resources.

I believe that metallic mineral resources last longer when powered. Also nonmetallic are much easier to obtain.

The nonmetallic minerals are not as strong as the metallic minerals.

Maddi T. said...

Metallic minerals would include iron and copper and Non-Metallic minerals would include coal, salt and clay.

Kristina AND Alexis said...

The diffrence between matallic and nonmatallic is that metallic is I. Metallic is a mineral which those minerals which can be melted to obtain new products.
Nonmatallic is I. Non-metallic minerals are those which do not yield new products on melting.

Metallic minerals contain high percentages of metal, such as Iron. Nonmetallic resources have no metal, and contain minerals such as sulfur.

Olivia M said...

The difference between metallic and nonmetallic is that metallic doesn't decompose and nonmetallic does.

Chloe O. said...

Non-metallic minerals are minerals that do not become new products on melting, yet metallic minerals are minerals that can be melted to obtain new products.

I think that metallic mineral resources last a longer time . Also nonmetallic is a lot easier easier to get.

Nick C said...

Metallic mineral deposits can contain materials such as, lead, zinc, iron, gold, silver, and even indium. Non-metallic mineral deposits can contain minerals such as silicon, phosphorus, or sulfur.

I think that metallic resources are fuels or metals.

Metalic recorces contain metal and non metalic contain minnerals.

DARRRRREN said...

Metalic resources are stronger and last longer

Cordelia R said...

Nonmetallic resources are easily obtainable and metallic minerals last longer when they're powered.

Wayne Twombly said...

Metallic mineral re those minerals which can be melted to obtain new products such as fuel and stuff.

Chris Payeur said...

Metallic minerals are like metal or stone and non metallic would belike the minerals in fruity pebbles.

Cameron M. said...

Metallic minerals are renewable resources and can be melted to obtain a new one, they also last much longer, non-metallic can not be melted and made renewed.

Brooke DeCapua said...

Metallic Resources are much stronger and contain a lot more amount of metal. But Nonmetallic Resources don't contain metal and aren't as strong.Each of these two both have their own specific physical and chemical properties they have.

Kiara M. said...

Metallic mineral resources that can be used as fuels and are resources that contain metal, but nonmetallic resources aren't used as fuels and don't contain metals.

Kevin D said...

"Any mineral resources not used as fuels or as sources of
metals are nonmetallic mineral resources. These resources are

mined for the nonmetallic elements contained in them and for

the specific physical and chemical properties they have."
(Glencoe Science 2002 Earth Materials and Process pg 84 )

Metallic mineral deposits can contain materials such as, lead, zinc, iron, gold, silver, and even indium. Non-metallic mineral deposits can contain minerals such as silicon, phosphorus, or sulfur. Being metallic resources these elements are melt able which gives them the ability to be melted and formed into items used for construction, and in older days non-metallic resources were used to make weapons. So the most major difference between metallic and non-metallic mineral resources is the fact that metallic mineral resources are pliable. If you compare iron and sulfur you may find a different use for both of them. Iron of course would be made into something as stated before, but sulfur is actually quite useful. Sulfur is used in matches, but is most popular for it’s for its use as a hardening component to rubber. Non-metallic mineral resources are usually found deeper in the ground than metallic mineral resources.

Well, metallic minerals are nonrenewable.

Aidan Farris said...

metallic is made of igneous rock and nonmetallic is made of cemetery rocks.

Lewin P said...

Nevermind.

Isaiah w said...

Nonmetallic is not metal or fossil fuels. Metallic minerals are metals such as copper,iron etc.

Ian R. said...

The difference between a metallic mineral resource and a nonmetallic mineral resource is that a metallic is mined for metal. The nonmetallic is mined for its properties.

Hannah M said...

I suggest that metallic mineral deposits can contain materials such as, lead, zinc, iron, gold, silver, and even indium and non-metallic mineral deposits can contain minerals such as silicon, phosphorus, or sulfur. Being metallic resources these elements are melt able which gives them the ability to be melted and formed into items used for construction, and in older days non-metallic resources were used to make weapons. So the most major difference between metallic and non-metallic mineral resources is the fact that metallic mineral resources are pliable. If you compare iron and sulfur you may find a different use for both of them. Iron of course would be made into something as stated before, but sulfur is actually quite useful.

Metallic mineral resources can be used as fuels and are resources that contain metal, but nonmetallic resources aren't used as fuels and don't contain metals.

Metallic Minerals:

I. Metallic mineral re those minerals which can be melted to obtain new products.

II. Iron, cooper, bauxite, tin, manganese are some examples.

III. These are generally associated with igneous rocks.

IV. They are usually hard and have shines or luster of their own.

V. They are ductile and malleable.

VI. When hit, they do not get broken.

Non-Metallic Minerals:

I. Non-metallic minerals are those which do not yield new products on melting.

II. Coal, salt, clay, marble are some examples.

III. These are generally associated with sedimentary rocks.

IV. They are not so hard and have no shine or luster of their own.

V. They are not ductile and malleable.

VI. When hit, they may got broken into pieces.

You can get new substances by melting metallic minerals, but can't with non-metallic minerals.
