Question

Q4. Which of the following is not classified on the basis of status of development?

(a) Potential resource

(b) Developed stock resource

(c) Reserves resource

(d) Renewable resource
​

Answer 1

The correct option is- (d) Renewable resource.

Classification of resources based on the status of development:

1. Potential resource- The resources that are not being used currently due to lack of investment or other reasons but, we have the technology to harness them are called potential resources. Examples include solar energy and wind energy.
2. Developed resource- These resources have been developed and are currently being used. Examples include coal and petroleum.
3. Stock resource- These are the resources for which we do not have the technology for their extraction. For example- the use of oxygen and hydrogen elements present in water for the generation of energy.
4. Reserve resources- These resources are reserved for the future as we have the technology to harness them. For example- water in dams.

Based on exhaustibility, we have two types of resources- renewable and non-renewable resources.

• Renewable resources are restored continuously whenever they are used while non-renewable resources are limited and once they are exhausted, it takes millions of years for their formation.
