What are natural resources?<\/h2>\n

Natural resources are those material goods that nature produces, without human intervention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are of great importance for economies, since they contribute to their development by providing raw materials, food, minerals and other basic goods to survive.<\/p>\n

Characteristics of natural resources<\/h2>\n

The characteristics that define natural resources are the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • They are fundamental<\/strong> for the development of the economy and society.<\/li>\n
  • They are scarce<\/strong> and can wear out<\/strong> if they are not put to proper use.<\/li>\n
  • They are classified in renewable<\/strong> Y Non-renewable<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • I know they use<\/strong> or transform<\/strong> to satisfy human needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Types of natural resources<\/h2>\n

    Natural resources can be classified into renewable<\/strong> Y Non-renewable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \"Types<\/p>\n

    Natural resources are renewable or non-renewable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Renewable natural resources<\/h3>\n

    The renewable natural resources<\/strong> They are that continually regenerate<\/strong> through natural processes. These can always be obtained and the only way that they run out is that they are not used with the proper use.<\/p>\n

    Some renewable resources are the water, the sun, the wind and the wood.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Non-renewable natural resources<\/h3>\n

    The resources<\/strong> non-renewable natural<\/strong> They are that do not have the ability to regenerate<\/strong> naturally, so they can be finished. So much so that it is not possible to reuse these resources, because they are depleted with use.<\/p>\n

    Some non-renewable resources are the minerals, <\/strong>like gold, copper or iron, and fossil fuels, <\/strong>like oil or gas.<\/p>\n

    Examples of natural resources<\/h2>\n

    Among the main natural resources, those most used by people and companies, are the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Water<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • Sun<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • Wind<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • Resources from animals<\/strong> (milk, meat, skins, wool, eggs, feathers).<\/li>\n
    • Fruits and vegetables <\/strong>(corn, sunflower, tomatoes, strawberries, oranges).<\/li>\n
    • Wood<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • Minerals<\/strong> (gold, iron, silver, copper, zinc, cobalt).<\/li>\n
    • Petroleum<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • Diamonds<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
