What Are Natural Resources?
Natural resources are resources that occur in nature without any manmade assistance. Any naturally occurring substance qualifies as a natural resource, including animals, plants, water, oil, coal, minerals, timber, land, light, soil, and energy. Natural resources can be renewable or nonrenewable:
Renewable resources refer to undiminishable substances, such as solar and wind energy, biomass energy, and hydropower.
Nonrenewable resources refer to resources that cannot be naturally replenished at an adequate pace to meet growing demands. Nonrenewable resources include water, fossil fuels, natural gases, minerals, and nuclear energy.
