Answers
@N$W€R..
Ans 1). Resources are broadly classified into natural, human-made and human. Natural resources are those that are taken from nature. They are used without modifying them, i.e. in the same form as they exist in. ... On the basis of level,of development, a resource can be actual or potential.

Answer:
Explanation:
1)Resources are broadly classified into natural, human-made and human. Natural resources are those that are taken from nature. They are used without modifying them, i.e. in the same form as they exist in. ... On the basis of level,of development, a resource can be actual or potential.
2)Time: Time is an important factor in making a substance resource. Resources are developed according to the needs of the people. The needs of people can differ from time to time. This change in needs leads to discoveries and inventions, making substance into resources. For example: Wind was just a substance a few years ago. Now it is an important resource for generating energy. The change in times has changed the demands for energy, which in turn has motivated people to find newer ways of generating energy, thus turning erstwhile substances into resources.
Technology: Unless the use of a substance is determined by inventions and innovation by means of technology, it does not become a resource. For example: when the technology of hydroelectricity was invented, it made the rivers a resource for generating electricity.
