Example : Solar energy, air, water, soil, forest & wild life. ... It is divided into Recyclable and Non Recyclable Resources.
Answer:
Explanation:
On the basis of exhaustibility, the resources are of two types as mentioned below:
(i) Renewable resources: These can be renewed or reproduced by physical, chemical or mechanical process. Examples are solar and wind energy, water and forests. The renewable resources may further be divided into continuous or flow and biological. Continuous or flow resources are wind and water. Biological resources are vegetation (forests) and wildlife.
(ii) Non-renewable resources: They exhaust and take millions of years in their formation. Examples are minerals and fossil fuels. Some of the resources like metals are recyclable and some like fossil fuels cannot be recycled and get exhausted with their use.
