examples of natural resources?

There are a number of natural resources which can be classified under the following main categories : \n\n(a) Inexhaustible (that cannot be finished)\n\n(b) Exhaustible (that can be finished) \n\nRenewable exhaustible (if consumed can replenish). \nNon-renewable exhaustible (if consumed, cannot replenish) \n(a) Inexhaustible Resources cannot be exhausted by human consumption and other uses. These include energy sources like solar radiation, wind power, water power (flowing streams) and tidal power, and substances like sand, clay, air, water in oceans, etc.\n\n{b)     (i) Exhaustible Renewable Resources are those that are naturally replaced or replenished after consumption. Generally these form a cycle. Some examples are water, soil, forests (yeilding wood of other products), vegetation, natural pastures, wild life. The living beings (both animals and plants) reproduce and can thus replace the dying or killed individuals.\n\n(b)     (ii) Exhaustible Non-renewable Resources. These cannot be replaced after use. These are limited in nature. These include minerals (copper, iron etc.), fossil fuels (coal, oil etc.). Even the wild-life species (rare plants and animals) belong to this category, many of them are potentially usable and they contribute in maintaining ecological balance and impart natural beauty. (A species once finished cannot be created again).

The quantity and quality of a resource is determined by whether it is a renewable, non-renewable, or a flow resource. \n\nRenewable resources, such as plants and animals, can replenish themselves after they have been used if their physical environment has not been destroyed. If trees are harvested carefully, a new forest will grow to replace the one that was cut. If animals eat grass in a pasture to a certain level, grass will grow again and provide food for animals in the future, as long as the carrying capacity of the land is not exceeded by the pressure of too many animals. \n\nNonrenewable resources, such as minerals and fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), can be extracted and used only once. \n\nFlow resources, such as water, wind, and sunlight, are neither renewable nor nonrenewable because they must be used as, when, and where they occur. The energy in a river can be used to generate electricity, which can be transmitted over great distances. However, that energy must be captured by turbines as the water flows past or it will be lost.

Wood. Corn for ethanol. Anything that be produced again by nature after it is used up by man.

Do you mean finite natural resources? If so, those are resourses found on earth, (oil)that are of limited supply. In other words we only have so much, and when it it gone, it is gone forever.

I was looking I found this was interesting:\n\nRevenue generated from oil, gas and mineral development, agricultural leasing and commercial activity on trust lands play an important role in funding public education in New Mexico.( http://www.nmstatelands.org/ )\n\n\nIf I get a chance I will look for more.

Why are any natural resources important?  You can answer this question and not even mention Mexico.\n\nDo you even know what Mexico's natural resources are?

In the context of your question,\n\nA resource is a source of material or energy that may be consumed, changed, or dispersed to the point it is no longer easily usable. Examples would be copper ore, oxygen in the atmosphere, helium gas taken from oil wells, water, sand, or even soil. Anything we do consumes or utilizes some sort of resource. Breathing uses oxygen from the air. Copper is used for wiring and piping. Helium is used for scientific research and birthday balloons. Sand is used to make concrete. Water is used for drinking, irrigation, and generating hydroelectric power. Soil is used for growing crops.  None of these are exhaustive lists, just examples. \n\nOil: Oil is a mixture of organic compounds extracted from the earth by drilling. It is created from organic materials deposited in sedimentary rock that are altered by heat, pressure, and biotic processes to create it. \nOil is used to make gasoline, diesel, airplane fuel, plastic, shampoo, rubber, antihistamines, and many other products. \n\nNatural gas: It is an organic gas that is also extracted from the earth by drilling. It is generated by a similar process to that for oil generation. It is used to heat homes, make fertilizer, and some plastics. \n\nWater: Water is found in many forms, but mostly as either fresh or saltwater. Fresh water is used for drinking, irrigation, etc. Saltwater is not as useful directly to man, but is an essential part of our environment as the oceans both support food supplies and have a large effect on the climate. \n\nWood: Wood comes from living organisms- trees. Wood can be used for building many things, including houses. It is used for fuel and is the primary source of fuel in some parts of the world.

Geothermal Natural Resources is relating to the internal heat of the earth. Natural resources is a material source of wealth, such as timber, fresh water, or a mineral deposit, that occurs in a natural state and has economic value.\nVolcano's are opening in the earth's crust through which molten lava, ash, and gases are ejected.  And similar opening are on the surface of other planets.   Mountains are formed by the materials ejected from a volcano.,trees and plants grow on the mountain. Coal in formed a natural dark brown to black graphitelike material used as a fuel, formed from fossilized plants and consisting of amorphous carbon with various organic and some inorganic compounds. Natural Gas the state of matter distinguished from the solid and liquid states by relatively low density and viscosity, relatively great expansion and contraction with changes in pressure and temperature, the ability to diffuse readily, and the spontaneous tendency to become distributed uniformly throughout any container.

Renewable resources include such energies as wind, solar (sun) power, geothermal (heat from the ground) and hydro (water).  They are beneficial for the Earth because they do not produce harmful emissions and can, theoretically, last forever.  They are often considered a hindrance (or just annoying) to society because they are rarely cheap to harness (or at least not cheaper than fossil fuels) and a suitable infrastructure is not properly in place for such energies.\n\nNon-renewable resources, on the other hand, include such energies as fossil fuels (this is turned from crude oil into gasoline), natural gases (burnt in many processes for energy), wood (this is considered non-renewable if the rate at which it is used is greater than the rate at which it is created), coal (burnt in many processes for energy) and pretty much any Hydrocarbon.  Non-renewable resources are considered useful and valuable because they are generally cheap to use and have been used throughout history.  For this reason, the infrastructure around non-renewable resources is substantially greater than that of its renewable counterpart.  These energies cause a greater problem than they solve because went used, they produce harmful emissions such as carbon dioxide.  These chemicals are detrimental to one’s health and are a contributing factor in the Greenhouse Effect (the leading cause of global warming in the world).\n\nObviously, renewable resources pose a brighter prospect for the future.\n\nI hope this was an informative answer!

Yes natural gas is a type of fossil fuel.  Other examples of fossil fuel are oil and coal
