Good attempt. Nice use of diagrams. Content is also fine. However, since this is a 15 mark question, more detailing will be expected.
For e.g. when talking about minerals found in continental shelves, you can mention about monazite deposits( largest in India- placer deposits of Kerala coast), magnetites along circum-Pacific volcanic belt, gold deposits (US coast, Chile, SA Aus etc), phosphorites etc
In deep ocean, mention manganese nodules of Pacific Ocean, other content is fine.
Some of the offshore oil fields can also be mentioned.
You have covered the minerals more or less, if you can add location the answer will be better.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂
