Question

5 differenentiate resources on the basis of exhaustibility and development

Answer 1

Heyya!

On the basis of Exhaustibility :-

☆Renewable Resources:- Resources that can be replenished after a short period of time are called Renewable Resources. For example – agricultural crops, water, forest, wildlife, etc.

☆Non-renewable Resources:-Resources which takes million years of time to replenish are called non-renewable resources. For example – fossil fuel.

On the basis of Status of Development :-

☆Potential Resources :- Resources which are found in a particular region, but not yet used properly. For example – Rajasthan and Gujarat receive plenty of solar energy and have plenty of wind energy, but use of these resources so far has not been developed properly.

☆Developed Resources:- Resources which are developed and surveyed for utilization and are being used in present time are known as Developed Resources.

☆Stock:- Resources that are available, but we do not have proper technology to used them are called Stock. For example – water is made of oxygen and hydrogen, which can be used as fuel, but because of lack of proper technology these are not being used.

☆Reserves:- Resources which are available and the knowhow to use them is also present but they are yet to be used are called Reserves. For example – river water which is not used to generate electricity.
