Answer 2

$\bf Natural \: Resources$

Natural resources refer to the things that exist freely in nature for human use and do not necessarily need the action of mankind for their generation or production. The key aspect of natural resources is that they dictate the survival of humans and other life forms on Earth. These resources include land, rocks, forests, water, fossil fuels, animals, minerals, sunlight and air. Plants and animals are living natural resources, whereas coal, water, air, soil, etc. are non- living natural resources. Some resources do not exist in nature and are artificially prepared by humans, such as plastics, alloys, etc. These are called artificial or man-made resources. Depending upon the abundance and availability, natural resources can be broadly classified into Inexhaustible natural resources and Exhaustible natural resources.

Inexhaustible Natural Resources These resources are present in unlimited quantity in nature. They are not likely to get exhausted by human activities. Examples of these resources are sunlight, air, water, rainfall, clay, sand, etc.

Exhaustible Natural Resources These resources are present in limited quantity in nature. They are likely to get exhausted over a certain period of time by human activities. Examples of these resources are forests, wildlife, minerals, coal, petroleum, natural gas, etc.
