Answer 1

Answer:

Types of ʀᴇꜱᴏᴜʀᴄᴇꜱ

To simply define, resources are everything available in our environment which satisfy our needs. In fact, human beings themselves are a part of the natural resources. They develop the available natural elements and transform them into ‘resources’ for use. These are the different types of resources based on various factors:

Based on their Origin: Biotic & Abiotic Resources

• Biotic resources comprise any life form that lives in nature. Like us-human beings, other animals, plants, and all flora and fauna.
• Whereas, abiotic resources are available in nature too, but have no life. Like metals, rocks, and stones.

Based on their Exhaustibility: Renewable & ɴᴏɴ-ʀᴇɴᴇᴡᴀʙʟᴇ

• Renewable resources are elements of nature which renew themselves. Solar energy, wind, water, forests etc.
• On the other hand, non-renewable resources, as the name suggests are limited for use by humans. Like fossil fuels and minerals. Though they would take millions of years to form, eventually, they would get over with continuous use.
