What might be the different criteria we can use to categorise natural resources?

  • 0

We use origin (biotic/abiotic), renewability (renewable/non-renewable), development stage (actual/potential) and spatial distribution (ubiquitous/localised) as criteria. These help classify resources for effective use, conservation and planning.

    1. Natural resources can be categorised using several criteria: their origin (biotic – living, abiotic – non-living), renewability (whether they regenerate or not), development stage (actual – in use, potential – unused but known) and distribution (ubiquitous – widely available, localised – specific to areas). This categorisation helps in assessing how to use them sustainably and ensure that they are preserved for future needs.
