Study Notes

Natural resources are elements in the environment that humans use for their needs, categorized into renewable (sunlight, wind) and non-renewable (minerals, fossil fuels).
They are essential for agriculture, industry, energy production, and infrastructure development, requiring sustainable management for future generations.
Man-made resources are created by humans, while natural resources come from nature.
Organic resources are derived from living matter, supporting the economy through agriculture, forestry, and related industries, promoting soil health and biodiversity.
Inorganic resources, from non-living things like minerals, provide materials for construction and infrastructure, with extraction impacting the environment; responsible mining and recycling are crucial for sustainability.
