dc.description.abstractThe Indian Ocean (area: 74.917 x 106 km2, water volume: 291.945 x 106 km3, average depth: 3897 m) is the third largest of the world oceans. The lands bordering the ocean contain almost 40 percent of the world's population and contribute substantially to some of the essential mineral raw materials for the world economy; i.e. oil, tin iron and manganese ores, mica and chromite. The present paper reviews the surficial mineral resources of the Indian Ocean, excluding those in bedrock (oil, gas and sulphur etc.) and the metalliferous brine deposits of the Red Sea. The minerals for the review have been grouped as (1) terrigenous (2) biogenous and (3) chemogenous. The present review covers the Indian Ocean as defined by FAIRBRIDGE (1966), extending from the east of the African continent to the west of the Australian continent and from the Indian sub-continent to Antarctica
