 Definition of natural resources.
 Types of natural resources.
 Renewable resources.
 Examples of renewable resources.
 Non-renewable resources .
 Examples of non-renewable resources.
 Misconceptions.
Anything people can use
which comes from nature are known
as natural resources. People do not
make natural resources, but
gather them from the nature.
Examples of natural resources
are air, water, coal, etc.
Natural resources
Types of natural resources:
Renewable resources.
Non-renewable resources.
The first kind of
resources
RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources
are natural
resources
that can be replenished in a short
period of time.
Examples of Renewable
Resources
Oxygen.
Wood.
Water.
oxygen
As we all know human being
and animals use oxygen for
breathing , and plants
release oxygen, hence according to definition of
renewable resources oxygen is being
replenished so it is a renewable resource.
wood
Wood grows naturally and is
renewable. we use wood for
various purposes and it can grow
again for re-use and hence it is kind of a renewable
resource.
Example: timber.
water
Water continually moves
throughout the planet, with
each climate receiving its own
kind and volume of precipitation. If a
community overuses water, the source can
temporarily run out, but it will come back
eventually, followed by the definition
it is a renewable resource.
The other kind
of resources
Non-Renewable Resources
A non renewable resource is a
natural resource that cannot
be re-made or re-grown at a
scale comparable to its
consumption.
Examples of Non-Renewable
Resources
Coal.
Petroleum.
Natural gas.
Coal
coal is used as a fuel, it takes
millions of years to regenerate it, so
once we dig it all up, and, burn it, then
it's finished. it doesn't renew itself every day. if
somehow, a community uses, coal at a large scale
comparable to its consumption. it will run out, and
will have to wait for a long time, so that it will
regenerate for use, which is practically impossible,
so it is considered as non-renewable resource.
petroleum
This type of resources are
resources for which there is a limited
supply. So, The supply of
petroleum comes from the Earth itself and, as it
typically takes millions of years to develop and
is finite.
Natural Gas
Natural gas is the result of
decomposing plants and
animals that were trapped beneath
rock millions of years ago. So
once its used it takes a millions of time to
regenerate, so it is a non-renewable resource.
For example: Liquefied Petroleum Gas(LPG).
Misconceptions
Many people have the misconception that
a resource's status of renewability means
that it is an endless source. A renewable
resource is not endless; rather, the Energy
Information Administration (EIA)
defines a renewable resources as "Fuels that can be
easily made or 'renewed'."
