Question

Definition of potential and actual resources

Answer 1

Hi friend, here is your answer

Ans:- Potential Resources are known to exist and may be used in the future. For example, petroleum may exist in many parts of India and Kuwait that have sedimentary rocks, but until the time it is actually drilled out and put into use, it remains a potential resource.

Actual resources are those that have been surveyed, their quantity and quality determined, and are being used in present times.

Hope this helps.

Potential resources- available resorces in a country which are not fully tapped are called potential resources

For ex- petroleum can be found in old sedimentary rocks of himalayas

Actual resources- The actual resources of a country are those which have been throughly surveyed and their quantities have been ascertained
