Study Notes

Classification of Resources

  • Resources are categorized based on their availability into renewable (naturally replenished) and non-renewable (limited stock).

Biotic and Abiotic Resources

  • Biotic resources originate from living organisms (e.g., plants, animals).
  • Abiotic resources come from non-living sources (e.g., minerals, water).

Environmental Resources

  • Resources obtained from the environment for human needs and wants are called natural resources.

Ubiquitous and Localised Resources

  • Ubiquitous resources are found everywhere (e.g., air, sunlight).
  • Localised resources are concentrated in specific areas (e.g., coal, oil).

Sustainable Resources

  • Resources that are technologically accessible, economically feasible, and culturally sustainable are termed sustainable resources.

Renewable and Non-Renewable Criteria

  • Renewable resources can be replenished over time (e.g., solar energy).
  • Non-renewable resources have limited availability and cannot be replaced (e.g., fossil fuels).

Benefits of Resource Utilization

  • Utilization of resources leads to economic growth, improved living standards, and the satisfaction of human needs.

Resource Definition

  • An item is considered a resource if it has utility, contributes to human welfare, and can be used to satisfy wants and needs.

Actual and Potential Resources

  • Actual resources are currently utilized and have identifiable uses.
  • Potential resources exist but are not yet exploited or utilized.

Origin Classification of Resources

  • Resources can be classified based on their origin into natural resources (occurring naturally) and man-made resources (processed by humans).
