The classification of natural resources
What are Natural Resources? Natural resources are the ones that come from nature.
People cannot make natural resources, however, they can collect them. Some of
the examples of natural resources include water, coal, wood, and iron. Some of the
resources, for example, hydroelectric energy are not considered to be natural since
they are made by people. Natural resources are mainly classified into 2 different
categories:
1. Renewable natural resources and 2. Non-renewable natural resources
1. 
Renewable natural resources are the resources that can be generated again
once they are used. Some of the examples of renewable natural resources
include sunlight, water, and wood.
2.
Non-renewable natural resources are the ones that exhaust after their
frequent usage and sometimes it takes a really long time for them to
regenerate. An example of this includes natural gas. Another example of a
non-renewable natural resource is coal. Just as coal, there are many such
natural resources that are limited which means that they cannot be recycled
again. Most of these non-renewable natural resources cannot be recycled
and hence it is important to conserve these natural resources. There are
several natural resources that have a very high demand but have a lesser
availability.
Air: The existence of all living beings requires clean air. However, due to several
reasons, the air gets polluted and it indirectly affects the health of living beings.
Water: A very small amount of freshwater is available on Earth. Out of this
amount, some amount is portable which means that it can be used for drinking.
Since there is a constant change in the climate, there is a change in the rainfall
pattern as well. The melting of ice is dropped in winter as well. All these factors
result in lowering the amount of this natural resource which is crucial to life on
Earth.
Fossil Fuels: Natural resources like natural gas, coal, and petroleum would be over
someday which means that they are exhaustible. It takes several millions of years
for one dead organism to get converted into fuels. They are consumed at a faster

rate than the rate that it is formed. The excess burning of these fossil fuels leads to
air pollution since it gives out carbon dioxide which is a type of greenhouse gas.
Natural Resources and their Conservation
It is highly important that we conserve these natural resources since they are
getting exhausted at an alarming rate: a) Use an alternative source of power like
solar and wind energy b)Plant more trees for preventing the soil erosion c)Use
pipelines for transporting oil d)Treat the industrial sewage and wastage even
before they get released into the water bodies, e) Include the rainwater harvesting
system in the house, f) Use biogas in the house h) Ensure that the wastes are being
recycled i) Use electronic mails, k) Make use of the energy-saving tube lights and
bulbs
