Natural resources are useful materials or substances that exist in the environment like land‚ water‚ sun‚ trees‚ oil‚ minerals‚ etc. Natural resources are generally classified as renewable resources and non-renewable resources. Resource depletion means exhaustion of natural resources in a certain region. When the rate of consumption of these resources exceeds the rate at which they are restored‚ depletion of resources occurs. The utilization of natural resources has increased considerably due to

Howard Schmidt September 2‚ 2014 In this time energy is one of the most sought after resources we ask for. It powers just about everything we deal with and use on a daily basis. From the ATM to the charger for your phone. This energy costs money yet should we just throw the money towards the simplest solution at the time‚ or would it be wiser to look towards the long term use of the method of making energy? Renewable energy while it ’s most negative aspect is the costly measures of setting it up has

Natural resource Natural resources (economically referred to as land or raw materials) are naturally forming substances that are considered valuable in their relatively unmodified (natural) form. A natural resource’s value rests in the amount and extractability of the material available and the demand for it. The latter is determined by its usefulness to production. A commodity is generally considered a natural resource when the primary activities associated with it are extraction and purification

Natural resources occur naturally within environments that exist relatively undisturbed by humanity‚ in a natural form. A natural resourceis often characterized by amounts of biodiversity and geodiversity existent in various ecosystems. Natural resources are derived from the environment. Some of them are essential for our survival while most are used for satisfying our needs. Natural resources may be further classified in different ways.

What is renewable energy? Why is everyone out there concerned about the future of renewable energy? Well‚ the answers are not as tough as we would have expected‚ nor do they require a lot of action in order to succeed. Our planet is dependent upon us to keep it thriving‚ and the best way to do that is to switch over to renewable energy. Renewable energy effectively uses natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides and geothermal heat‚ which may be naturally replenished. Renewable energy

Energy Resources and their Uses in Producing Electricity Renewable energy is energy drawn from natural processes that are restored quicker than they are used up‚ some renewable energy resources are biomass‚ food‚ wind‚ waves‚ flowing water‚ solar and geothermal. The sun however‚ is known to be the ultimate energy resource since almost all energy resources originate from the sun’s energy. This is possible according to the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can’t be destroyed

Differences between fossil fuel and renewable energy One of the great issues facing world in the 21st century is how best to obtain the energy for supporting operations: heat and light‚ transportation‚ production and delivery of goods and services. Fossil fuel supplies nearly 90 percent of the energy‚ according to the U.S. Department of Energy. In contrast‚ only %5 is provided by renewable energy. There are several differences between fossil fuel and renewable energy. Fossil fuel are including:
