The document discusses natural resources in India. It defines natural resources as elements from the earth that humans need and value. Resources are divided into perennial, renewable, and non-renewable categories. India has a variety of natural resources including land, forests, water, and minerals. Proper management of these resources is important to ensure their sustainability and prevent environmental pollution.

1. By Sarala for her
Daughter Joshitha

3. All natural
elements that
are part of the
earth and
which humans
need and value
are called
resources

4. Theses
resources like
air, water,
sunlight, forests
and minerals are
called natural
resources

5.  Divided into …
1.Perennial resources
2.Renewable resources
3.Non-renewable resources

6. sunlight winds Tides
These are always available to us,
hence they are called perennial

7. Plants
Forests
soil
oxygen
water
Carbon
dioxide
Animals

8. These resources can be renewed, re-grown
or replenished…..

9. Also called alternative energy

10.  How ever the cost of developing renewable
energy resources are very high……

11.  Natural resources that can eventually get
exhausted and can not be replenished are
called non renewable resources.

12. petroleum
Minerals Natural gases coal

13.  Since it takes millions of years for nature to
replenish these sources, and it cannot keep
up with speed at which we are using them.

14. These are naturally
occurring
substances that are
found in rocks
below the earths
surface
They are obtained
by process called
mining

15. Coal and petroleum are called fossil fuels
as they are formed when rocks exert
pressure on the remains of dead plants
and animals

16. Natural gas is used both as domestic and industrial
fuel

17. The burning of fossil fuels causes environmental
pollution
A serious effect of environmental pollution is acid
rain.

18. Renewable resources should be
used at same speed at which
they are replaced
If we keep using them
carelessly at the current rate,
they will soon become scarce
and eventually die out.

19. Example for Excess of
usage of resources
If we keep cutting trees
with out replacing them
1.We will loose our forests
2.We will loose soil
3.We will loose our plants
and animals living there

20. Can you think of any
plant or animal that
has become extinct?

21. 1.Land resources
2.Forest resources
3.Water resources
4.Mineral resources
5.Human resources

22.  India is blessed with all kinds of natural
resources like:

31.  Land resources are greatest asset to our
country

32.  We are largely a land and agriculture based
economy.
 Due to varied land forms and climatic
conditions prevailing in different parts of
country, varied soil types have developed in
different parts

33.  What is soil ?

34.  It is topmost layer of the earth formed by rocks which have
broken up and are finally divided and mixed with decayed
animal and vegetable matter

35.  It is in this layer that plants can grow

36.  Formation of soil is mainly due to breaking
down of rocks.
 It has taken thousand of years for soil to
form, and this process is happening even
today

37. Action of sun, wind and rain causes
rocks to breakup and crumble
Rocks expand during day when it is
warm and contracts in the nights
when it is cool. This continuous
expansion and contraction of rocks
cause them to break into tiny pieces
or cause cracks in the rocks
When it rains plants grow trough the
cracks of the rocks. This makes
cracks wider and help the process of
breaking of rocks.

38.  Rains carry soil into streams and rivers and
there it becomes part of silt
 The wind can blow away some of the soil to
other areas

39. Black soil

Bihar , Uttarpradesh and west
Bengal
Crops that grow in Alluvial
soil are wheat, rice(food
crops) and sugar cane (cash
crops)

water flowing over flood plains or in
river beds
