What are the three classifications of resources?

Natural, human-made, human resources.

How are renewable and non-renewable resources defined?

Renewable replenish, non-renewable deplete over time.

Conservation involves saving resources for future use.

Sustainable development ensures resources for future generations.

Reduce, reuse, recycle for sustainable resource use.

Resources are categorized into natural, human-made, and human resources, with natural resources further divided into renewable and non-renewable types based on their ability to replenish over time. This classification helps in understanding the origin, sustainability, and utilization of resources in various sectors of society.
Conservation and sustainable development play vital roles in resource management, with conservation focusing on wise resource usage through the three R's (reduce, reuse, recycle), while sustainable development aims to balance current needs with future resource availability, as emphasized during the Earth Summit in 1992. These principles guide responsible resource utilization for the benefit of present and future generations, highlighting the importance of environmental stewardship and long-term resource preservation.

The first chapter in grade 8 geography is about resources, known for being easy and common sense, helping understand the world's structure and resource usage.
The chapter covers what a resource is, the classification of resources, conservation, and sustainable development.
Resources are anything satisfying a need, like pens, phones, chairs, or tables, with utility giving them value.
Resources' value changes over time due to technological advancements, like traditional medicine becoming factory-made.
Resources are classified into natural, human-made, and human resources.
Natural resources come from nature without much modification, like air, wood, water, solar energy, and plants.
Natural resources are further divided into renewable (e.g., solar energy, wind energy) and non-renewable (e.g., petroleum, coal) resources.
Renewable resources replenish themselves, like solar and wind energy, while non-renewable resources deplete over time.
Human-made resources are created by humans, like buildings, roads, and vehicles.
Human resources refer to the human workforce, including skills, knowledge, and labor.

Renewable resources are almost unlimited and can be harnessed at any time, replenishing themselves.
Non-renewable resources are limited in nature, with a stock that cannot renew itself for millions or thousands of years, making them non-renewable for practical purposes.
Natural resources are obtained from nature without much modification, further divided into renewable and non-renewable resources.
Human-made resources are obtained from nature and modified by humans for use, such as turning wood into furniture or iron ore into iron and steel.
Human resources involve humans themselves as resources, using knowledge, skill, and technology to create more resources and be more productive.
Human resources can be improved and developed through training, enhancing skills, health, and education, known as human resource development.
Conservation of resources and sustainable development are crucial, with conservation involving saving resources and sustainable development balancing development with resource preservation.
Conservation of resources does not mean stopping resource use but using resources wisely to allow for renewal.
The three R's of conservation are reduce, reuse, and recycle, emphasizing reducing consumption, reusing resources, and recycling materials for new purposes.
Sustainable development aims to develop while conserving resources for present and future generations, ensuring development does not harm the environment or future needs.

Ubiquitous resources are those available everywhere, while localized resources are specific to particular places, like indigenous fruits.
Resources are classified into natural resources (renewable and non-renewable), human-made resources (created from natural resources), and human resources (people as resources).
Sustainable development involves using resources carefully to meet present needs while ensuring resources are available for future generations. The Earth Summit in 1992 in Brazil discussed sustainable development, emphasizing the importance of resource conservation.
