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

For example:-

1. 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.

2. The uranium found in Ladakh is potential resource that could be used in the future.

3. 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.
