Earth's Resources
Earth's resources are the substances and materials that exist naturally in the environment and are utilized by humans for various purposes. These resources can be classified into renewable and non-renewable resources.
Renewable Resources
Renewable resources are those that can be naturally replenished in a relatively short period of time. Examples of renewable resources include:
Non-Renewable Resources
Non-renewable resources are finite and cannot be easily replenished once they are depleted. Examples of non-renewable resources include:
- Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)
- Minerals (iron, copper, gold, etc.)
- Nuclear energy sources
Conservation of Resources
It is important to conserve Earth's resources to ensure their sustainable use for future generations. Conservation efforts can include:
- Reducing energy consumption
- Recycling materials
- Using alternative energy sources
- Protecting natural habitats
