Chapter- 1 RESOURCES
What are Resources ? A resource is anything that can be used to satisfy human wants. It includes: � Things which are present in the environment and which human use directly and � Things which humans transform into usable materials to satisfy their needs.
Classification of Resources
Natural Resources Materials or substances occurring in nature which can be exploited for economic gain. For example: air , sunlight , soil , minerals , natural vegetation and wildlife. �
Different types of Natural Resources � Biotic resources: Biotic resources include all living organisms on the Earth - the flora and the fauna. For example; animals, birds, fish, and marine organisms. � Abiotic resources: Abiotic resources are the non-living substances used by human beings. For example; soil air and sunlight.
� Actual resources: Actual resources are those that have been surveyed, their quantity and quality determined, and are being used in present times. For example, black soil and natural gas. � Potential resources: Potential resources are known to exist and may be used in the future. For example, petroleum may exist in many parts of India and Kuwait that have sedimentary rocks, but until the time it is actually drilled out and put into use, it remains a potential resource , bio fuel.
� Renewable resources: A renewable resource is a resource which can be used repeatedly and replaced naturally. Renewable energy almost never runs out. For example: solar energy � Non - renewable resources: Non-renewable are resources of economic value that cannot be readily replaced at the speed with which they are being consumed. Examples of Non-renewable resources include crude oil, natural gas, coal, and uranium
� Ubiquitous resources: A Ubiquitous resource is a natural resource that is available just about anywhere you live. Air, wind, water are all Ubiquitous resources. � Localised resources: Localised resources are those which are unevenly distributed among the world and are only concentrated in some areas. Gold, diamonds and silver are some examples.
Human made Resources � Human made resources are items or substances that have value to human lives that do not occur in the natural world. Examples of Human made resources include plastic, paper, soda, sheet metal, rubber and brass.
Human Resources �Human resources describes the people who make up the workforce of an organization, industry, business sector, or economy.
Conserving Resources � Conservation of resources is the ethical and sustainable use and the protection of valuable natural resources by humans. These resources include all the natural wealth, both renewable and non-renewable , on this planet like air, water, minerals, soil, plants and crops, animals, oil and gas, timber, etc.
