    1. Natural elements such as sunlight, wind, or minerals become classified as resources only when people find ways to use them. This depends on need, knowledge and access. For example, uranium became a resource only after nuclear technology emerged. Thus, elements are not inherently resources—they become so when society can extract value from them sustainably.
