1. Overview of Natural Resources Natural resources are essential to human survival and development. They provide us with food, water, energy, materials, and more. Understanding these resources is vital for responsible management and sustainable use. MJ by MAKWANA Jatin

2. Definition and Importance Natural Resources Materials or substances occurring in nature that are valuable to humans. Importance They support life, fuel economies, and drive technological advancements. Sustainability Using resources wisely to ensure their availability for future generations.

3. Types of Natural Resources 1 Renewable Resources Resources that can be replenished naturally over a short period of time, like solar energy, wind energy, and forests. 2 Non-Renewable Resources Resources that are finite and take millions of years to form, such as fossil fuels, minerals, and groundwater. 3 Living Resources Resources that are alive and include plants, animals, and microorganisms.

4. Renewable vs. Non-Renewable Resources Renewable Resources Solar energy Wind energy Hydropower Biomass Geothermal energy Non-Renewable Resources Fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) Minerals (metals, gems) Groundwater

5. Fossil Fuels: Oil, Gas, and Coal Resource Formation Uses Oil Organic matter buried deep underground Transportation, electricity, plastics Gas Natural gas trapped in rock formations Heating, cooking, electricity Coal Ancient plants buried and compressed over time Electricity generation, steel production

6. Mineral Resources: Metals and Gems Metals Iron, aluminum, copper, gold, silver, etc., used in construction, electronics, and jewelry. Gems Diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, etc., prized for their beauty and rarity. Other Minerals Sand, gravel, limestone, etc., used in construction, manufacturing, and agriculture.

7. Water Resources: Surface and Groundwater Surface Water Rivers, lakes, oceans, and reservoirs, readily available for use. Groundwater Water stored beneath the earth's surface, accessed through wells and springs. Water Conservation Efficient use, reducing waste, and protecting water quality are crucial.

8. Forestry and Timber Resources 1 Harvesting Timber Sustainable logging practices are crucial for managing forests. 2 Forest Products Wood, paper, furniture, and other products derived from trees. 3 Forest Conservation Protecting forests for their ecosystem services, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration.

9. Wildlife and Biodiversity Wildlife Animals that inhabit the wild, providing ecosystem services and contributing to biodiversity. Biodiversity The variety of life on Earth, encompassing all ecosystems, species, and genetic variations.

10. Challenges and Sustainability 1 Overexploitation Excessive use of resources exceeding their replenishment rate can lead to depletion. 2 Pollution Contamination of air, water, and soil can harm ecosystems and human health. 3 Climate Change Global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. 4 Sustainable Practices Conserving resources, reducing waste, and using renewable alternatives are essential for a sustainable future.
