Answer 2

Answer:

Natural resources are the stock of nature such as air, water, soil, coal, minerals, animals and plants that are useful to mankind in many ways. There are two types of natural resources-exhaustible and inexhaustible. Exhaustible natural resources are limited and will finish sooner or later. Examples of exhaustible natural resources include coal, petroleum, etc. Inexhaustible natural resources are present in plenty and cannot be exhausted by living beings' consumption, for example, air, soil, etc.
