distinguish between stock and reserve.write an example of each
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Stock :
1) Resources that exists but have not been utilized owing to lack of technical expertise.
2) Eg:Making hydrogen and oxygen from water.
Reserves :
1) Resources for whose utilization man has the technical know-how but has not started using them.
2) Eg: Uses of river water for generating electricity.
Answer:
Stock: Materials, which have the potential to satisfy human beings, but human do not have the appropriate technology to access these, are termed as stock. We do not have the required technical ‘know-how’ to use them for a specific purpose. For example, water which is a compound of two inflammable gases—hydrogen and oxygen and can be a rich source of energy. We do not know how to use them.
Reserves: These are subset of the stock. They can be put into use with existing know-how, but their use has not been started. For example, river water is used as a source of hydroelectricity, but to a limited extent. Thus, the water in the dams, forests, etc., is reserve which can be used in the future.
Example: Minerals found in the sea bed or under oceans. 1. Reserves are the subset of the stock, which can be put into use with the help of existing technical 'know-how' but their use has not been started.
