Minerals and the environment

Abstract

Mineral reserves are widespread across the country. Local building styles, for instance, reflect the local materials, and are very different in an area of clay from an area of limestone. The details of production figures and areas are published by the British Geological Survey in the UK Minerals Yearbook (annual). A wide ranging survey of individual minerals and sites can be found in Blunden (1982), which is still one of the best detailed reviews. It is convenient to classify minerals according to their end use, rather than their individual geology.
