Natural resources
Natural resources are
resources that exist
without actions of
humankind.It provide
a large no. of materials
and services that are
essential for life on
earth.
E.g.- land, air, water,
coal, etc.
Types of natural resources:

Renewable resources.

Non-renewable resources.
 The first
kind of
resources
 The resources that can be
harvested continuously
with proper planning and
management are known
as renewable resources.
E.g.- solar energy, wind
energy, water, biomass
energy, etc.
 water

Solar energy

oxygen
Water is a transparent and nearly colorless
chemical substance that is the main constituent of
Earth's streams , lakes, and oceans , and the fluids
of most living organisms. Its chemical
formula is H2O.
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.
Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is
harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such
as solar heating, solar thermal energy, solar architecture.
It is an important source of renewable energy and its
technologies are broadly characterized as either passive
solar or active solar depending on how they capture and
distribute solar energy or convert it into solar power. Solar
thermal technologies can be used for water heating
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.
The other
kind of
resources
 A non renewable
resource is a natural
resource that cannot be
re-made or re-grown at
a scale comparable to
its consumption.
E.G- coal, petroleum,
natural gas, etc.
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.
Oil is a thick, black, gooey liquid also called petroleum.
It's found way down in the ground, usually between
layers of rock. To get oil out, a well is dug. Digging a
well is like putting a straw into a can of pop. The oil is
then pumped out of the ground, just like when you
suck pop up the straw. Oil is carried in pipelines and
large tanker ships.
A mineral is a naturally
occurring chemical
compound. Most often, they
are crystalline
and abiogenic in origin.
Minerals are non-renewable,
as they take tens of
thousands to millions of
years to form.
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'."
