Answer:
Resources: Anything that has some utility to satisfy our needs is known as a resource.
Human beings are important resources because their ideas, knowledge and skills lead to the creation of new resources.
Types of Resources: There are three types of resources—Natural resources, Man-made resources and Human resources.
Natural Resources: The resources which are drawn from nature and used without much modification are known as natural resources.
Human-made Resources: When the original form of natural resources is changed by human beings to make it more useful, then it is called man-made resources or human-made resources.
Human Resources: People are human resources. Education and health help to make people a valuable resource.
On the basis of their development, resources are classified as Actual resources and Potential resources.
On the basis of their origin, resources are classified as Abiotic resources and Biotic resources.
On the basis of their distribution, resources are classified as Ubiquitous resources and Localised resources.
On the basis of their stock, resources are classified as Renewable resources and Non-renewable resources.
Actual Resources: Actual resources are those resources whose quantity is known. Rich deposits of coal in Ruhr region of Germany, dark soils of Deccan Plateau in Maharashtra.
Potential Resources: Those resources whose entire quantity may not be known and which are not being used at present time are known as potential resources, e.g. Uranium found in Ladakh may be used as a potential resource.
Abiotic and Biotic Resources: Abiotic resources are non-living while biotic resources are living. Soils, rocks and minerals are abiotic, while plants and animals are biotic resources.
Ubiquitous and Localised Resources: Resources that are found everywhere, like the air we breathe, are ubiquitous resources. But those, which are found only in certain places, are localized resources, like copper and iron ore.
Renewable Resources: Renewable resources are those which get renewed or replenished quickly, e.g. solar and wind energy.
Non-renewable Resources: Those resources which are present in limited stock and once exhausted may take thousands of years to renew, e.g. Coal and Petrol.
We have to conserve the resources, otherwise, non-renewable resources will get exhausted and people will face a shortage of food and shelter.
Any substance, living being or service that has utility (i.e. can help us in any possible way) is said to be a resource.
A resource has some value. The value can be associated with money (i.e. you have to pay money to get it), or just mental satisfaction (e.g. when you look at a beautiful painting or scenery, it feels pleasant, so the painting or scenery has utility).
Examples of resources include books, stationery material, clothes, utensils, furniture, your teacher, school, rivers, water, electricity, and so on.
