Natural resources which are widely scattered all over the earth and are unevenly distributed , these include the flora and fauna, the mineral deposits, water bodies, consisting of sea, river, ocean streams and lake, weather and climate, wind, rocks and other naturally occurring resources.  Examples of the mineral resources are crude oil, soil, iron ore, gold, tin, silver, bauxite, and bronze.
