TYPES OF NATURAL RESOURCES
There are two types of natural resources on earth- Renewable resources and Non- Renewable resources.
Renewable Resources
Renewable resources are those that can be reproduced easily. For example, plants and animal resources, water and certain soil types.
These materials are constantly renewed in nature and can be used again and again. If consumed at a faster rate, without being given enough time to reproduce they will soon get wipe out from the face of the earth.
Non Renewable Resources
A non renewable resources is a natural resource which cannot be reproduced easily. For example, natural gas, coal, petroleum, mineral oils, metals, minerals and stones. These materials were created millions of years ago under the earth's surface. These materials once extinct can never be recreated. It is very important for us to conserve them and use them wisely so that they last longer.
