This document discusses natural resources and how they are classified. Natural resources are things from nature that are used without much modification, such as air, water, soil, rocks, minerals and living things like plants and animals. Resources are also classified as renewable or non-renewable, with renewable resources like solar and wind energy being replenished quickly and non-renewable resources like coal having limited supplies that take thousands of years to renew. The document provides examples of different types of natural resources and asks questions for homework about their importance and conservation.

they may take thousands of years to
renew. For e.g.- Coal, petroleum.
