Answers
Answer:
>>RESOURCES...
Resources is a very broad term, it is basically anything that can be considered a valuable addition. Anything from air to gold are all resources. Let us take a look at the two broad types of resources – natural resources and man-made resources.
**Natural resources**
Anything and everything that is available naturally on earth is a natural resource. We can further divide them into:
>>Biotic & Abiotic...
Any life form that lives within nature is a Biotic Resource, like humans, animals, plants etc. In contrast, an abiotic resource is that which is available in nature but has no life; like metals, rocks, and stones. Both biotic and abiotic resources can be renewable or non-renewable.
>>Renewable & Non-renewable...
Renewable resources are almost all elements of nature which can renew themselves. For e.g. sunlight, wind, water, forests and likewise. While, non-renewable resources, are limited in their quantity. Like fossil fuels and minerals. Though these resources take millions of years to form, they would eventually get over within our lifetime if we use continuously.
**Man made resources**
When humans use natural things to make something new that provides utility and value to our lives, it is called human-made resources. For instance, when we use metals, wood, cement, sand and solar energy to make buildings, machinery, vehicles, bridges, roads etc. they become man-made resources. Likewise, technology is also a man-made resource. Man-made resources are mostly renewable. One can re-build a building or fixed a broken machine.
And, because humans have the skills, intelligence, and knowledge, and use technology to transform a natural resource into usable and valuable things, they themselves become a resource. That is what we know as Human Resource.
