    Natural Resources

    • Natural resources encompass materials, energy, and their characteristics that stem from the Earth.
    • They play a significant role in enhancing the quality of human life through their utility and value.
    • The interplay among soils, plants, animals, solar energy, and water is crucial for sustaining natural resources.
    • Key natural resources include clean water and fertile soil, essential for agriculture and human consumption.

    Renewable Resources

    • Renewable resources arise from natural processes characterized by the interaction between physical and biological elements of Earth’s systems.
    • These resources are capable of regenerating autonomously, provided the balance of matter and energy flow is maintained.
    • Human activities or natural disasters that disrupt this balance can hinder the regeneration of renewable resources.
