Natural resources, renewable and nonrenewable
Natural gas, oil, coal, iron ore and other mineral resources are non renewable resources, they use some less, it is impossible to re produce. Taking iron ore as an example, it is a long geological history, which is formed in the Archean era of 26 to 3 billion years. In the ancient times, the metallogenic period was calculated by one hundred million years. On the contrary, the exploitation and consumption of minerals are very fast, and the exploitation period of a mine is only one hundred years, several decades, or even several years. Therefore, from the perspective of human history, mineral resources are non renewable.
724 species of extinct animals and plants. After a rough estimate, 400 years, the living environment of the living area reduced by 90%, species decreased by half, which is due to the decline of tropical rain forests are more serious impact on the loss of species. Therefore, whether it is non renewable resources, renewable resources, we should pay attention to the protection and rational use.The natural resources are divided into 8 categories according to the type of material: land resources, climate resources, water resources, biological resources, mineral resources, marine resources, energy resources, tourism resources and so on
Natural resources are those which can be used in the production and life of human beings. Such as water resources, land resources, mineral resources, forest resources, wildlife resources, climate resources and marine resources. These natural resources can be divided into renewable resources and non renewable resources.
