Question

difference between potential resources and actual resources ......​

Answer 1

Actual Resources:

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

For example :-

• The petroleum and the natural gas which is obtained from the Mumbai High Fields and West Asia
• The rich deposits of coal in Ruhr region of Germany
• Dark soils of the Deccan plateau in Maharashtra

Potential Resources:

Potential Resources – Potential resources are resources which exist in a region and which can be used in the future.

For example:-

• Mineral oil may exist in many parts of India where sedimentary rocks are found but till it is actually drilled out and put into use, it remains a potential resource.
• The uranium found in Ladakh is potential resource that could be used in the future.
• High speed winds were a potential resource two hundred years ago. Today they are an actual resource and wind farms generate energy using windmills like in Netherlands, Nagercoil in Tamil Nadu and on the Gujarat coast.
