well make sure you don't waste much water or any other natural resources little kitty it is vital to save them let me explain hey friends it's topic we must all learn about not only to get good grades but to save the world so let's zoom in so what do we mean by the word natural resources well the answer is in the word itself yes natural refers to mother nature and resources stands for source of supply or support so when we put these words together it simply means anything that is supplied by mother nature that can be used by the living beings natural resources are present on planet on their own and do not need any human activity for their creation common examples of natural resources include water forests fossil fuels minerals plants animals and even air which are must for our development and survival and based on their available amount and durability these resources are classified into two types redunable and non-renewable natural resources let us look at them in detail natural resources that have an unlimited supply and can be used again and again are called renewable or inexhaustible resources for example air sunlight and water are renewable resources however in some cases water is not renewable easily and can not be used once it gets chemically polluted on top of that out of 71 of total water available on earth only 2.5 of all is fresh water and only 0.3 of that is available on the surface at the same time even for you today can be hazardous to all living beings and therefore it is vital to take measures to reduce air pollution to know more about contaminated water and air please check out our playlist on pollution afterwards now let us look into the definition of non-renewable resources it simply means resources that are available in limited quantities or that do not grow and come back or take very long time to come back one of the cons of non-renewable resources is if we don't preserve them and waste them unnecessarily due to which they might go extinct once and for all yes as the human population is increasing at an alarming rate we are using more and more natural resources at this speed soon day will come when nature will not be able to supply us with resources such as plants and trees animals soil and fossil fuels such as coal petroleum and natural gas thus these non-renewable resources can go exhausted and for that reason they are also called exhaustible natural resources also remember my friends natural resources are very vital for human survival so if they are not monitored carefully there will come time when there will be no food for the coming generation to eat no material to build houses and even energy to run machines hence it is essential to know the difference between exhaustible and inexhaustible resources and to practice sustainable development this is nothing but the development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs trip your time did you know people in rich countries consume up to 10 times more natural resources than those in the poorer countries yes on average an inhabitant of north america consumes around 90 kilograms of resources each day while in africa people consume only around 10 kilograms per day hope you learned something new today until next time it's me dr bynox zooming out nevermind you
