Answer 1

Anything which has some utility for us is called a resource.

Classification of natural resources on the basis of development and use:

Actual Resource: Resources whose quantity is known and which are being used at present are called actual resources, e.g. coal and petroleum.
Potential Resource: Resources whose entire quantity may not be known and which are not being used at present are called potential resources. Potential resources can be used in future once technology for that is properly developed. For example; uranium reserves in Ladakh.
