Natural resources can be categorized based on their origin as biotic or abiotic. They can also be categorized based on renewability as renewable or non-renewable. Biotic resources are living and able to reproduce, like plants and animals. Abiotic resources are non-living, like water, land, and minerals. Renewable resources can replenish themselves naturally or within human lifetimes, like water, sunlight, and wind. Non-renewable resources are limited and cannot renew, such as fossil fuels, minerals, and coal, which are considered exhaustible. Some resources are inexhaustible and present in unlimited amounts, like sunlight and water.

5. TYPES OF NATURAL RESOURCES
• On the basis of origin
• Abiotic
• Biotic
• On the basis of renewability
• Renewable
• Non renewable
• Inexhautible
• Exhautible

6. ON THE BASIS OF ORIGIN
• Biotic Resources
• Biotic natural resources are all living
resources that are able to reproduce replace
life and grow in numbers .
• These are all the resources that are
obtainable from the biosphere
• Example Mineral fuels, fish, wildlife etc..

7. • Abiotic Resources
• Abiotic natural resources are all the non-
living resources that cannot replace
themselves easily and are obtained from
the surface of the earth crust Some of these
resources are reproduced of extremely slow
rates in terms of human life periods
• Examples would include water, land mineral
ores such as copper, silver, gold etc..

10. NON –RENEWABLE RESOURCES
These are those resources which
are not renewed/replenished and
are affected by human activity
Non -renewable resources are those
found inside the earth, and they took
millions of years to form. These
include the fossil fuels, oil, natural
gas,

12. EXHAUSTIBLE RESOURCES
• These resources are limited in
nature and they are not –
maintainable.
• Comes under non-renewable
category. Example. Coal petrol

13. INEXHAUSTIBLE RESOURCES
• Inexhaustible resources are a resource that is
present with unlimited mounts in the nature
:they cannot be depleted or exhausted by
human activity.
• Comes under renewable category. Example
water, sunlight, etc...

14. KINDS OF RESOURCES
• Water Resources
• Animal/Plants Resources
• Soil Resources
• Solar Light Resources
• Wood /Tree Resources
• Air(wind) Resources
