Natural resource Natural resources (economically referred to as land or raw materials) are naturally forming substances that are considered valuable in their relatively unmodified (natural) form. A natural resource’s value rests in the amount and extractability of the material available and the demand for it. The latter is determined by its usefulness to production. A commodity is generally considered a natural resource when the primary activities associated with it are extraction and purification

ENERGY RESOURCE PLAN Conserving energy is important to our society because it can extend the life time of non-renewable resources. Examples of these are oils‚ coal ‚ and gas. It also minimizes the use of larger more dangerous and environmentally damaging sources ‚such as deep sea oil and tar deposits. Currently the world produces 20 million barrels of oil each year. One-third of that is used by the United Sates. Concidering that only %35 of an oil well can be recoverd one-third is a lot to consume

Natural resources occur naturally within environments that exist relatively undisturbed by humanity‚ in a natural form. A natural resourceis often characterized by amounts of biodiversity and geodiversity existent in various ecosystems. Natural resources are derived from the environment. Some of them are essential for our survival while most are used for satisfying our needs. Natural resources may be further classified in different ways. Natural resources are materials and components (something

RESOURCES Why farmers sometimes need to change the pH of soil A healthy‚ productive farm is created from the ground up. The fertility‚ structure and biological activity of your soil are the keys to raising successful crops. Great soil grows great plants with increased vigour and pest tolerance‚ not to mention maximized yields. There’s a lot to know about your soil for sure‚ but the most critical measurement is its pH. What is pH? Represented on a scale of 0 to 14‚ pH is the measurement of the

As a member of the Home Owner’s Association I believe that it is extremely important for us to educate our community about the importance of energy conservation. Teaching the community that energy is not a right but a privilege will educate‚ empower‚ and make us aware of the importance of reserving our resources. I strongly

Natural resources are useful materials or substances that exist in the environment like land‚ water‚ sun‚ trees‚ oil‚ minerals‚ etc. Natural resources are generally classified as renewable resources and non-renewable resources. Resource depletion means exhaustion of natural resources in a certain region. When the rate of consumption of these resources exceeds the rate at which they are restored‚ depletion of resources occurs. The utilization of natural resources has increased considerably due to
