    1. Natural resources can be classified by use into three categories:

      1. Energy resources like wind, coal and solar power that provide energy,
      2. Material resources like soil, timber and minerals for construction or manufacturing and
      3. Ecosystem services such as climate regulation, air purification and water cycles.
        This classification highlights how deeply dependent we are on Nature for daily life.
