Renewable Resources
- Renewable resources are those that get renewed or replenished quickly.
- Examples of renewable resources include solar energy, wind energy, water, soil, and forest.
- Water seems to be an unlimited renewable resource, but shortage and drying up of natural water sources is a major problem in many parts of the world.
Non-Renewable Resources
- Non-renewable resources are those that have a limited stock, and once exhausted, it may take thousands of years to be renewed or replenished.
- Examples of non-renewable resources include coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
Distribution of Natural Resources
- The distribution of natural resources depends upon physical factors like terrain, climate, and altitude.
- The distribution of resources is unequal because these factors differ greatly over the earth.
Types of Resources
- Resources are generally classified into natural, human-made, and human resources.
- Natural resources are those drawn from nature and used without much modification, such as air, water, soils, minerals, and medicinal plants.
Human-Made Resources
- Human-made resources are created by using natural resources, such as buildings, bridges, roads, machinery, and vehicles.
- Technology is also a human-made resource.
