Management of Natural Resources PPT by Hafiz and Group

This document discusses natural resources, including their definition, types of renewable and non-renewable resources, and fossil fuels. It provides details on coal, petroleum, and natural gas as the three main types of fossil fuels. The document emphasizes that natural resources are important because they provide materials for food, fuel, and manufacturing, and are essential for sustaining life. It also lists some key natural resources found in the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Kerala.

What Are Natural Resources?

Natural resources are those components which are


inherently created by environment and supporting life.
These resources are essential for sustaining life on
Earth. These are in the form of air, water, soil,
minerals, fossil fuels, sunlight, energy etc.
Renewable and non-renewable Resources.
 Renewable Resources

Renewable resources are those that can be replaced or never runs out.

Examples: solar energy, wind power, geothermal energy, hydroelectric energy (water), and
biomass (material made from plants and animals).
 Non-Renewable Resources

Non-renewable resources are those that cannot be replaced at the same rate it is being used. It
takes a long time to be replaced

Most Non-renewable energy sources are fossil fuels: coal, natural gas, and oil. Coal Fossil
fuels release heat energy when they are burned and they are used to create energy and
electricity. They were formed from the remains of living organisms millions of years ago.
 What Are Fossil Fuels?

A fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic


Decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing organic molecules originating in
ancient photosynthesis that release energy in combustion.

There are three main fossil fuels: coal, petroleum and natural gas. Coal is cheap and
abundant. Petroleum, or crude oil, is harder to find and is typically a bit cleaner-burning
— and, unlike coal, it can be pumped through pipelines and easily refined into fuels like
gasoline or kerosene. Natural gas is also
relatively inexpensive and less polluting than coal or crude oil.
Types Of Fossil Fuels.

 Coal
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock. It is
burned in power plants to produce more than half of the electricity we use.
Coal is the Cheapest of All Fossil Fuels. Coal is the Number One Energy
Source.

 Petroleum
Petroleum, also called crude oil, is fossil fuel. Like coal and natural gas,
petroleum was formed from the remains of
ancient marine organisms, such as plants, algae, and bacteria.
 Natural Gas
Natural gas is a fossil energy source that formed deep beneath the earth's
surface. Natural gas contains many different compounds. Natural gas is
abundant and a major source of energy. Infrastructure
already in place. Natural gas can be easily transported. Natural gas
produces less overall pollution. Natural gas is a nonrenewable resource.
 Why Are Natural Resources Important?

 Every material in our culture ultimately comes


from natural resources. For example, Coal, Oil,
Soil, Water, Land, Minerals, Forests and Timber,
and Air we breathe. The role natural resources
has on earth is imperative indeed.
 Natural resources are used to make food, fuel
and raw materials for the production of goods.
D
All of the food that people eat comes from
plants or animals. Natural resources such as
coal, natural gas and oil provide heat, light and
power.
Natural Resources of Himachal Pradesh…

From vast tracts of high-altitude Trans-Himalayan desert to dense green deodar forests,
from apple orchards to cultivated terraces, from snow-capped high Himalayan mountain
ranges to snow fed lakes and gushing rivers. Highly dissected mountain ranges interspersed
with deep gorges and valleys. It is also characterized with diverse climate that varies from
semi tropical in lower hills, to semi arctic in the cold deserts areas of Spiti and Kinnaur.
Altitude ranges from 350 meters to 6975 meters above mean sea level .
Natural Resources of Kerala…

Kerala State is endowed with a number of occurrences/deposits of minerals such as


Heavy Mineral Sands ( Ilmenite, Rutile, Zircon, Monazite, Sillimanite) ,Gold, Iron
ore, Bauxite, Graphite, China Clay, Fire Clay, Tile and Brick Clay, Silica Sand,
Lignite, Limestone, Limeshell, Dimension Stone (Granite), Gemstone. Kerala
generates power from four sources-hydro power, thermal power, wind power and solar
power.
