This document provides an overview of natural resources and soil as a resource. It discusses different types of resources such as biotic, abiotic, renewable and non-renewable resources. It also describes different types of soil found in India based on color, texture and chemical properties. Factors affecting soil formation and methods of soil conservation like contour ploughing and terrace farming are summarized as well.

2. NATURAL RESOURCE
• A material source of wealth, such as t
imber, fresh water, or a mineral depo
sit, that occurs in a natural state and
has economic value.

3. EXAMPLE FOR NATURAL
RESOURCES:

4. TYPES OF RESOURCES
• BIOTIC :
• Biotic describes a living or once
living component of a community;
for example organisms, such as
plants and animals.

5. ABIOTIC:
In biology and ecology, abiotic
components include physical
conditions and non-living resources
that affect living organisms in terms
of growth, maintenance, and
reproduction. Resources are
distinguished as substances or
objects in the environment required
by one organism and consumed or
otherwise made unavailable for use
by other organisms .

6. RESOURCE ON THE BASIS OF
EXHASTABILITY :

7. RESOURCE OWNERSHIP
• INDIVIDUAL:
Resource which are owned privately by
an individuals. E.g.-car, house & etc.
COMMNITY:
These resources are accessible for all
the members of the society .
E.g.- Public parks , playgrounds & etc.

8. • NATIONAL:
The resource which belongs to the
government .Technically all the resource
belonging to the government. E.g.- roads.
INTERNATIONAL:
The resource belonging to the international
institutes. E.g.- oceans.

9. LAND DEGRADATION:
• The following are the factors for land
degradation:-
• Deforestation
• Industrial waste
• Overuse of fertilizers
• Over grazing of cattle's
• Mining.

10. LAND CONSERVATION:
• By the following ways we could
conserve the land resources:-
• A-forestation
• Planting shelterbelts
• Checking over irrigation
• Terrace farming.

11. SOIL AS A RESOURCES
• Soil is one of the most important
natural resource.
• Medium of plant growth and supports
different living organism on the
earth.
• Takes a million years to form a few
cm of soil.

12. FACTORS EFFECTING
FORMATION OF SOIL
• Parent rock
• Wind
• Climate
• Vegetation
• Activity of decomposition
• Temperature
• Glaciers

13. CLASSIFICATION OF
SOILON THE BASIS OF :
• Colour
• Texture-age
• Chemical and physical properties
• Thickness

14. TYPES OF SOIL
• Alluvial soil
• Black soil
• Red soil or yellow soil
• Latterite soil
• Arid soil
• Forest soil

15. ALLUVIAL SOIL
• Very fertile .
• Formed by deposits bought by river
• Found in northern plains , coastal
plains, deltas of rivers.
• Crops like rice , wheat, cotton , oil
seeds are grown.
• Rice in potash and lime.

16. BLACK SOIL
• Black in colour.
• This soil is also known as regur soil
,cotton soil , lava soil .
• Made up of lava flow.
• Good capacity to hold moisture.
• Rich in calcium carbonate , lime ,
potash .

17. RED OR YELLOW SOIL
• Found in eastern and southern part of
deccan plateau.
• Rich in iron.
• Crops like rice , pulse , sugar cane can
be grown.
• Porous chores.
• Has less content of nitrogen , humus ,
and lime.

18. LATTERITE SOIL
• ACIDIC Porous.
• Rich in iron.
• Found in eastern ghats and shillong .
• Corps like coffee , rubber and
cashews can be grown.
• Leaching by heavy rainfall.

19. ARID SOIL
• Formed by weathering of rocks.
• Rich in salt.
• Deficiency in humus.
• Crops like dates ,melons and bjra can
be grown.
• Found in Rajasthan , Gujarat and
Punjab.

20. FOREST SOI
• Found in heavy rainfall areas and hilly
regions .
• Acidic in nature.
• Deficiency In humus.

21. SOIL CONSERVATION
• CONTOUR PLOUGHING :-
ploughing around the contour line to
decelerate the flow of water down
the slopes.
Terrance farming :-
Cutting down slopes and making
Terrance.

22. • Stripe cropping :-
• Stripe of crops are left to grow b/w
crops . It breaks down the flow of
wind.
• Planting shelter belts :-
• Planting a line of trees to create
shelter.
