Biological Resources

A natural resource that is or was living. Most important because they are used for

food. Trees provide wood for building, heat, and cooking.

Birds, fish, wild animal, flowers and trees are examples.

Mineral and Fuel Resources A mineral is a natural resource found in

rocks. Minerals are used to make products. A fossil fuel is a natural resource used to

provide heat and other energy.Fossil fuels are gathered by mining or drilling.

Renewable Resources Renewable resources can be made again by

nature or by people in a practical amount of time.

Nonrenewable Resources Nonrenewable resources take too long to

replace or cannot be replace at all. Scarce Conservation Recycling

Using Old Resources in New Ways

The sun, wind, and ocean can all be used to generate electricity.

Why Natural Resources Matter A natural resource’s value depends on

how much of it there is and how many people want it.

Having many natural resources gives a group independence.

Natural resources can be traded to places that don’t have it.
