The video tutorial explains the classification of natural resources into renewable and non-renewable categories. It highlights renewable resources like trees, wild blueberries, the sun, wind, and water, emphasizing their ability to be replenished. The video also discusses the practical applications of renewable resources in energy generation, such as wind turbines in Quebec and geothermal energy in Iceland.
