A natural resource is often characterized by amounts ofbiodiversity and geodiversity existent in various ecosystems.Natural resources are derived from the environment. Some of them are essential for our survival while most are used for satisfying our needs.

Every man-made product is composed of natural resources (at its fundamental level).
