Renewable and non-renewable resources


Renewable resources; Resources that are in exhaustive and can be regenerated within a given span of
time e.g. forests, wildlife, wind energy, biomass energy, tidal energy, hydropower etc. Solar energy is
also a renewable form of energy as it is an inexhaustible source of energy
Non-renewable resources; which cannot be regenerated in a time span e.g. Fossil fuels like
coal, petroleum, minerals etc. Once we exhaust these reserves, the same cannot be
replenished.

I ( Land resources and land use change, Land degradation, soil erosion, and
desertification)

Land Degradation - Land degradation is a process in which the value of the biophysical environment is affected by the
combination of the human-induced process acting upon the land.

Soil erosion - Soil erosion is the natural process in which the topsoil of a field is carried away by physical sources such
as wind and water.

Desertification - Desertification is the degradation process by which a fertile land changes itself into a desert by losing
its flora and fauna, this can be caused by drought, deforestation, climate change, human activities or improper agriculture.
Desertification is a process of degradation of the land. It occurs because of man-made activities and climate change.
Desertification takes place when a particular type of biome converts into a desert biome.
