we need to write about the classification of resources on the basis of status of development.

On the basis of status of development resources can be classified as:-

1) Potential resources:

The resources which have the potential to be developed and are present in abundance.

example: wind energy in Rajasthan.

2)Developed Resources:

The resources which are fully developed and are being used fall under this category.

Example: iron ore , petroleum products etc.

3)Stock:

Resources which are found the environment, which can satisfy human needs but humans don’t have the technology to use them for this purpose.

Example: water has hydrogen and oxygen. Which can be used as a source of energy.

4)Reserve:

Subset of stock which can put to use using existing technical know how. But their use has not started. They can satisfy future needs.
