On the Basis of Origin
Biotic Resources: These are obtained from
biosphere and have life such as human beings,
flora and fauna, fisheries, livestock etc.
Abiotic Resources: All those things which are
composed of non-living things are called abiotic
resources. For example, rocks and metals.
On the Basis of Exhaustibility
Renewable Resources: The resources
which can be renewed or reproduced by
physical, chemical or mechanical processes
are known as renewable or replenishable
resources. For example, solar and wind
energy, water, forests and wildlife, etc. The
renewable resource may further be divided
into continuous or flow (Fig.1.2).
Non-Renewable Resources: These occur over
a very long geological time. Minerals and fossil
fuels are examples of such resources. These
resources take millions of years in their
formation. Some of the resources like metals
are recyclable and some like fossil fuels cannot
be recycled and get exhausted with their use.
On the Basis of Ownership
Individual Resources: These are also owned
privately by individuals. Many farmers own
land which is allotted to them by government
against the payment of revenue. In villages
there are people with land ownership but there
are many who are landless. Urban people own
plots, houses and other property. Plantation,
pasture lands, ponds, water in wells etc. are
some of the examples of resources ownership
by individuals. Make a list of resources owned
by your household.
Community Owned Resources: There are
resources which are accessible to all the
members of the community. Village commons
(grazing grounds, burial grounds, village
ponds, etc.) public parks, picnic spots,
playgrounds in urban areas are de facto
accessible to all the people living there.
National Resources: Technically, all the
resources belong to the nation. The country
has legal powers to acquire even private
property for public good. You might have seen
roads, canals, railways being constructed on
fields owned by some individuals. Urban
Development Authorities get empowered by the
government to acquire land. All the minerals,
water resources, forests, wildlife, land within
the political boundaries and oceanic area upto
12 nautical miles (19.2 km) from the coast
termed as territorial water and resources
therein belong to the nation.
Inter national Resources: There ar e
international institutions which regulate some
resources. The oceanic resources beyond 200
km of the Exclusive Economic Zone belong to
open ocean and no individual country can
utilise these without the concurrence of
international institutions.
Do you know that India has got the right to
mine manganese nodules from the bed of
the Indian Ocean from that area which lies
beyond the exclusive economic zone. Identify
some other resources which are international
in nature.
On the Basis of the Status of Development
Potential Resources: Resources which are
found in a region, but have not been utilised.
For example, the western parts of India
particularly Rajasthan and Gujarat have
enormous potential for the development of wind
and solar energy, but so far these have not been
developed properly.
Developed Resources: Resources which are
surveyed and their quality and quantity have
been determined for utilisation. The
development of resources depends on
technology and level of their feasibility.
Stock: Materials in the environment which
have the potential to satisfy human needs but
human beings do not have the appropriate
technology to access these, are included among

Wind and WATER water etc.
Biological - These are further classified as; natural vegetation (flora) and wildlife (fauna).
Non-Renewable resources - Non-Renewable resources are also called as exhaustible resources as they get exhausted over time due to excessive use.
