▪Types of Natural Resources:-

▪Natural resources can be classified on the basis of their level of development and use, origin, stock and distribution.

▪Classification of natural resources on the basis of development and use:

1)Actual Resource:-

________________Resources whose quantity is known and which are being used at present are called actual resources, e.g. coal and petroleum.

2)Potential Resource:-

___________________ Resources whose entire quantity may not be known and which are not being used at present are called potential resources.Potential resourcescan be used in future once technology for that is properly developed. For example; uranium reserves in Ladakh.

▪Classification of natural resources on the basis of origin:-

▪Abiotic Resource:-
>>>> Resources which come from non-living sources are called abiotic resources, e.g. soil, rocks and minerals.

▪Biotic Resource:-
>>>Resources which come from living beings are called biotic resource, e.g. milk, leather, timber, etc.

▪▪Classification of natural resources on the basis of distribution:-

▪Ubiquitous Resource:-

>> Resources which are available everywhere on the earth are called ubiquitous resources, e.g. air and water.

▪Localised Resource:-

Resources which are available at select locations on the earth are called localized resources, e.g. coal mines in Jharkhand. Topography, climate and altitude are the major factors which affect the distribution of natural resources...

▪Classification of natural resources on the basis of their exhaustibility:-

Renewable Resource:-
>>> Resources which can be quickly replenished are called renewable resources, e.g. wind energy, hydel energy, solar energy, etc.

Non-renewable Resource:-
>>> Resources which cannot be replenished in the near future are called non-renewable resources, e.g. coal and petroleum. It takes millions of years for the formation of coal and petroleum and hence they cannot be replenished in our lifetime.

Classification of natural resources on the basis of the level of development and use, origin, and distribution can be done in the following manner:

  • On the basis of the level of development and use, natural resources can be classified into two types - actual resources and potential resources. Actual resources are those resources that are commonly used now, and whose quantity is known. Potential resources are those resources that are not being used extensively now, and whose entire quantity may not be known.
  • On the basis of their origin, natural resources can be classified into two types - biotic and abiotic resources. Living beings such as plants and animals that can be used as a resource are called biotic resources whereas nonliving things such as soil, rock, and minerals that can be used as a resource are called abiotic resources.
  • On the basis of their distribution, natural resources can be classified into two types - ubiquitous or localized. Ubiquitous resources are those resources that can be found anywhere. Examples are water, wind, etc. Localized resources are those resources that are found only in certain places. Examples are iron ore, oil, etc.
