Natural Resources

Natural resources refer to things that exist freely in nature for human use without human intervention, and include land, water, air, animals, plants, and minerals. Some key natural resources are forests, which provide wood, paper, and medicines; water, used for drinking and energy; and fossil fuels like coal, which are used for electricity. While some resources like sunlight, air, and geothermal energy are inexhaustible, most natural resources are finite and prone to depletion, bringing concerns over sustainable management and usage. Natural resources can be classified as renewable, like vegetation and animals that can regenerate, and non-renewable, like fossil fuels and minerals that take thousands of years to form.

Natural Resources
refer to the things that exist freely
in nature for human use and dont necessarily
need the action of mankind for their generation or production.
The key aspect of natural resources is that they dictate the
survival of humans and other life forms on earth. These
resources include land, rocks, forests (vegetation), water
(ocean, lakes, streams, seas, and rivers), fossil fuel, animals
(fish, wild life, and domesticated animals), minerals, sunlight
and air.
Some examples of natural resources are: air which
provides wind energy, Coal which act as an input for
electricity, forests which provide paper, wood and various
medicines, Water which is used for drinking and production
of hydroelectric energy, sunlight that is used for drying
clothes, photosynthesis and solar energy.
They are known as
Natural Resources
because they
provide for the
basis of life on
earth. It is from the
natural resources
that humans obtain
and produce the
components and materials found
within our environments. Every artificial product is made
from the natural resources. The materials may be used as they
occur naturally or may be transformed in other forms.
However, most natural resources are prone to depletion
and degradation which has brought about worldwide
concerns for their sustainable usage and
management. Still, there are other very few
resources that are regarded to be
inexhaustible such as sunlight and
geothermal energy. Air is also
inexhaustible but it has to
be free from pollution.
Types of . . .
Natural Resources
Renewable Natural Resources

Renewable resources are the ones that are consistently available


regardless of their use. They can be fairly recovered or replaced after
utilization. Examples include vegetation, water, and air. Animals can
also be categorized as renewable resources because they can be reared
and bred to reproduce offspring to substitute the older animals.
As much as these resources are renewable, it may take tens to
hundreds of years to replace them. The renewable raw materials that
come from living things namely animals and trees are termed as
organic renewable resources while those that come from non-living
things such as sun, water and wind are termed as inorganic renewable
resources.
Organic Renewable Resources
Inorganic Renewable Resources
Non-renewable Natural Resources

Non-renewable resources are the ones that cannot simply be


substituted or recovered once they have been utilized or destroyed.
Examples of such natural resources include fossil fuels and minerals.
Minerals are categorized as non-renewable because, even though they
take shape naturally through the rock cycle, their formation periods take
thousands of years. Some animals mostly the endangered species are
similarly regarded as non-renewable because they are at the verge of
extinction.
It brings about the many reasons the endangered species have to be
protected by all means. The non-renewable materials that come from
living things such as fossil fuels are known as organic non-renewable
resources while those that come from non-living things such as rocks and
soil are referred to as inorganic non-renewable resources.

Human Resources

Human resources are the people who make up the workforce of


an organization, business sector, or economy. "Human capital" is sometimes
used synonymously with "human resources", although human capital typically
refers to a more narrow view (i.e., the knowledge the individuals embody
and economic growth). Likewise, other terms sometimes used include
"manpower", "talent", "labour", "personnel", or simply "people".
