, NATURAL RESOURCES
• Renuable-Renewable resources are those that can be naturally replenished
regenerated within a human lifespan or relatively short time frame.
• They include resources such as sunlight, wind, water (hydroelectric), biomass (plants
organic materials), geothermal energy, and tidal energy.
• Renewable resources are considered sustainable because they can be used repeated
without depleting their stock.
• Non-renewable Resources:Non-renewable resources are f
and cannot be replenished within a human lifespan or over a relatively short time fram
• They include resources such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), minerals (like iron,
copper, gold), and nuclear fuels (uranium).
• Non-renewable resources take millions of years to form through geological processe
are consumed much faster than they can be replenished.
• Once non-renewable resources are depleted, they are gone forever, leading to concer
about their sustainability and environmental impact.
, Forest resources
• Forest resources encompass a wide array of natural elements found within forest ecosystem
breakdown of their uses, functions, and values:
• Timber: One of the most significant forest resources, timber is used for construction, furnitu
paper production, and various other wood-based products.
• Climate Regulation: Forests play a crucial role in regulating climate by absorbing carbon d
releasing oxygen, and influencing local and regional weather patterns.
• Water Regulation: Forests help regulate water flow, preventing erosion, maintaining soil mo
sustaining river systems.
• Recreation and Tourism: Forests provide recreational opportunities such as hiking, campin
viewing, and ecotourism, contributing to local economies and human well-being.
• Medicinal Resources: Many plants and fungi found in forests have medicinal properties, co
traditional and modern medicine.
