What is the condition for a substance to be called a resource?
On the basis of their distribution, resources are classified into ubiquitous and localized.
Resources that are drawn directly from nature are called natural resource
A substance needs to have some utility to be called a resource
If a substance can be used in any way, it is said to have a utility.
Explain the terms of resource conservation and sustainable development.
Resource conservation is the concept of using resources carefully so that they do not end up quickly. The future generations also need the resources, but if we keep using them at a fast pace, they may end up, thus posing problems for the future. We should use resources in such a balanced way that we satisfy our needs as well as conserve them for the future. This concept is called sustainable development.
Human beings are intelligent living beings. They can use their intelligence to realise the utility of substances. Had there been no humans, the resources would not have been resources. Human beings are interdependent on each other, and they prove useful to each other. For example, a postman renders us an important service, so he is a resource.
Resources are broadly classified into natural, human-made and human. Natural resources are those that are taken from nature. They are used without modifying them, i.e. in the same form as they exist in. Rivers, lakes, air, soils, minerals, trees, mountains, etc. are natural resources. Human-made resources have not been provided to us by nature. Human beings have used their intelligence to manufacture them for their own use. Examples include vehicles, buildings, roads, telephones, etc.
All those things which are composed of non-living things are called
Abiotic
Biotic
Renewable
Resources which are found in a region, but have not been utilised, is called as __________
Potential
Developed
Reserve
