Air, water, food, plants, animals, minerals, metals, and everything else that exists in nature and has utility to mankind is a ‘Resource’. The value of each such resource depends on its utility and other factors. For example, metals are gold, silver, copper or bronze have economic value; i.e. they can be exchanged for money. However, mountains, rivers, sea or forests are also resources but they do not have economic value.</p><hr></p><p><h2 align="left"><font color="white" face="Times New Roman">Natural Resources</h2><hr></p><p><p align="left">Anything and everything that is available naturally on earth is a natural resource.</p><hr></p><p><h2 align="left"><font color="white" face="Times New Roman">Man-made Resources</h2><hr></p><p><p align="left">When humans use natural things to make something new that provides utility and value to our lives, it is called human-made resources. For instance, when we use metals, wood, cement, sand, and solar energy to make buildings, machinery, vehicles, bridges, roads, etc. they become man-made resources. Likewise, technology is also a man-made resource. Man-made resources are mostly renewable. One can re-build a building or fixed a broken machine.</p></p><p></body>$
