Iron ore is the raw material used to make pig iron, which is one of the main raw materials to make steel. Raw iron is alloyed with a variety of elements (such as tungsten, manganese, nickel, vanadium, chromium) to strengthen and harden it, making useful steel for construction, automobiles, and other forms of

Minerals are formed in nature by a variety of processes. Among them are: Crystallization from melt (igneous rocks) Precipitation from water (chemical sedimentary rocks, hydrothermal ore deposits) Biological activity (biochemical sedimentary rocks) Change to more stable state - (the processes of weathering, metamorphism, and diagenesis).
