Resources and their types

RESOURCES

 Anything that satisfies human need is known as resource. resources may not have their economic values such as water but they must satisfy human needs.

 TYPES OF RESOURCES

  Resources are mainly classified into two groups natural resource and human resource.
   Resources that are drawn from nature and used without much modification are called natural resources. for example air water ect.
    Natural resources are classified into different groups depending upon their level of development and use,origin, stock and distribution.
     On the basis of their development resources are classified into actual resources and potential resources.

     ACTUAL RESOURCES are those whose quantity is known and are used by us now-a-days.

     POTENTIAL RESOURCE are those who's quantity is unknown and are not used by us like sunlight in Rajasthan.

      On the basis of origin resources can be classified into abiotic and biotic. abiotic contains nonliving things by biotic contains living things.
       On the basis of their distribution resources can be classified into ubiquitous and localised.

        Ubiquitous resources are found everywhere like air we breathe water sector.

          Localised resources are those which are found only in a  particular part of Earth.. 

          NON RENEWABLE AND RENEWABLE RESOURCE
            resources which can be used by again and again are known as renewable resources like air water soil resources which we can use only one time in are known as  non renewable resources like Coal Petroleum.
            HUMAN MADE RESOURCES
             resources made by human are known as human made resources like  chair bulb etc as they satisfy our need.
        CONSERVATION OF RESOURCES
            conservation of resources is very important for us  because many non renewable resources take  a lot of time to be replenished.
            SUSTINABLE DEVELOPMENT
             balancing the need  to use resources and also conserve them for the future is called sustainable development.
