Resources are classified into the following groups:-

• On the basis of origin
• On the basis of exhaustibility
• On the basis of Ownership
• On the basis of status of development.

On the basis of origin:-

• Abiotic Resources:- The things which do-not have life in them are known as abiotic resources. Eg:- Soil, Water, etc.

• Biotic Resources:- The resources which are composed of living components are known as biotic resources. Eg:- Human beings, Flaura and fauna.

On the basis of Exhaustibility:-

• Renewable Resources:- Those resources which can be renewed or replenished by physical, chemical or mechanical processes are known as renewable resources. Eg:- solar and wind energy, water.

• Non-Renewable resources:- Those resources which cannot be renewed or replenished by any of the processes are known as non-renewable resources. These resources are also known as exhaustable resources. These resources once used, take millions of years to rebuild, hence they are considered to be exhausted. Eg:- Fossil fuels.

• Potential resources:- Those resources which are known to be present in a region, but have not been utilised yet. Eg:- Wind and solar energy.

• Developed Resources:- Those resources which are known to exist and have been developed are known as developed resources. Eg:- hydal energy.

• Stock Resources:- These resources are known to exist but we don't have proper technology to develop those resources. Eg:- We know that the $\sf{H_2}$ and $\sf{O_2}$ from water can be used as a rich source of energy.

• Reserves:- These are the subset of the stock resources. These resources can be used by using its technical know-how but have not been used.
