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).
