Hey! Can I do your homework for you?? Cause you could have searched it on your own...\n\nNatural resources are naturally occurring substances that are considered valuable in their relatively unmodified (natural) form. A commodity is generally considered a natural resource when the primary activities associated with it are extraction and purification, as opposed to creation. Thus, mining, petroleum extraction, fishing, and forestry are generally considered natural-resource industries, while agriculture is not. The term was introduced to a broad audience by E.F. Schumacher in his 1970s book Small Is Beautiful.\n\nNatural resources are often classified into renewable and non-renewable resources. Renewable resources are generally living resources (fish, coffee, and forests, for example), which can restock (renew) themselves at approximately the rate at which they are extracted, if they are not overharvested. Non-living renewable natural resources include soil, as well as water, wind, tides and solar radiation — compare with renewable energy.\n\nMineral resources are generally non-renewable and, once a site's non-renewable resource is exhausted, it is considered to be useless for future extraction, barring technological improvements that allow economic extraction from the tailings. Technological improvements may also allow future extraction of metals at lower concentrations than at previous times, which converts low-grade resources into ore, and may re-open or expand mines.\n\nBoth extraction of the basic resource and refining it into a purer, directly usable form, (e.g., metals, refined oils) are generally considered natural-resource activities, even though the latter may not necessarily occur near the former.\nRainforest on Fatu-Hiva, Marquesas Islands\nEnlarge\nRainforest on Fatu-Hiva, Marquesas Islands\n\nNatural resources are natural capital converted to commodity inputs to infrastructural capital processes. They include soil, timber, oil, minerals, and other goods taken more or less as they are from the Earth.\n\nA nation's natural resources often determine its wealth and status in the world economic system, by determining its political nfluence. Developed nations are those which are less dependent on natural resources for wealth, due to their greater reliance on infrastructural capital for production. However, some see a resource curse whereby easily obtainable natural resources could actually the prospects of a national economy by fostering political corruption.\n\nIn recent years, the depletion of natural capital and attempts to move to sustainable development have been a major focus of development agencies. This is of particular concern in rainforest regions, which hold most of the Earth's natural biodiversity - irreplaceable genetic natural capital. Conservation of natural resources is the major focus of Natural Capitalism, environmentalism, the ecology movement, and Green Parties. Some view this depletion as a major source of social unrest and conflicts in developing nations.

The previous answer is way off.  Oil is not considered a renewable resource.  As oil is removed it is either replaced by water if the water can sink to that depth or it is replaced by air or fall in.\nIn some cases water is pumped in to get the last of the oil out.

If you are talking about natural resources, then a good thing to have would be to be renewable. Otherwise it will soon run out.\n\nIf you're talking about in general, a resource, then it should give sufficient information, have sources, authors, and all other things necessary to cite it. Meaning there should be proof to back it up if you're...for example, talking to someone as a resource. Like an interview.

Tough question, however Solar and Wind are viable sources of energy where available.  BioMass and utilization of human waste are also viable sources of future energy.  There's some speculation about technology to harness the energy contained in Ocean Water (currents) though I am not an engineer and don't understand it at all.  Finally, eliminating wastefulness and extending the usefulness of exsiting fuel types will assure at least in the short term enough for all (this is particularly aimed at the USA as the largest consumer of existing fuels per capata in the World, the question is why)

It is renewable since warmth from the sun generates new wind all the time.\n\nThis is the opposite of oil.  Oil takes so long to produce that we use it up much faster than it is created in the earth.  We can actually use up all the oil.

There is no such thing as non-renewable energy.  Energy is simply converted from one form to another and never actually gets 'used'.\n\nThere are non-renewable SOURCES of energy however and other answerers have pointed these out.\nHydrocarbons, like coal, oil and gas are considered non-renewable because once you have converted their (stored) chemical energy in to heat energy by burning them, you will have to wait several million years before the energy is stored back in a chemical form for you to burn again.\nWind power is considered renewable since wind is a form of mechanical energy which is converted thermal energy from the sun.  We use wind turbines to control the mechanical energy of the wind and convert it into electrical energy.  The sun provides more thermal energy, which makes more wind and so the source of energy is renewed on a useful timescale.\n\nMost energy on Earth comes from the sun.  Wind is driven by the sun as I have explained.  Solar energy is obviously sun powered.  Chemical energy sources like wood, coal, gas, etc also come from the sun since plants capture the solar energy and store it in their structure as chemical energy.  This same energy is what is released by burning.\nThe most notable source of non-sun derived energy on Earth is that of the tides.  Gravitational effects between the Earth and the moon (alright, and the sun a bit) cause the tides.  Gravitational energy converted to mechanical energy.  We can use this as a renewable source as well.\n\n<flight of fancy>\nIt is theoretically possible to have so many turbines extracting energy from the wind that there isn't enough left over to keep the winds blowing, which would have rather a startling effect on regional climates.  Turn the turbnes off however and the sun would soon start things up again.\n</flight of fancy>

Green energy that includes natural enegetic processes.  Geothermal power, wind power, small-scale hydropower, solar power, biomass power, tidal power and wave power fall under such a category. Some versions may also include power derived from the incineration of waste.\n\nRemember that no power source is impact-free. For instance, concerns are raised over bird kills and in some cases noise pollution by windmills and over heavy metal use and associated mining damage by raw materials used for constructing solar cells.\n\nHere in Greece we have used windmills  ancients before electricity but now we use it to produse electricity for our islands. We use also solar cells and  small-scale hydropower to produse electicity.

renewable source\n- water (its NOT non-renewable) because there is the water cycle, thats why we have water until now since the very beginning of the world!\n\nnon-renewable source\n- oil\n- gas \nbecause once its used we cant use it again\n\n\nconservation\n- use bikes or you can walk instead of cars when going to nearby places (so you can save gas)\n- turn the faucet off when not in use (saving the water)\n\nmanagement\n-  (that i do not know)

Coal, iron, uranium, and manganese are pretty common. Agricultural resources include coffee, cocoa, yams, and maize. Africa is the second largest continent with vast resources.

A renewable energy source is one that can be "renewed" , or can be produced again. Examples are wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal. Non-renewable energy comes from sources that cannot be created again, such as petrolium and coal.\nOur world is now looking for new renewable energy sources to take the place of nonrenewables when they run out.

Some resources we use are renewable and some are not. True renewables include energy sources like wind and solar. Sort-of renewables include water, food and firewood. Although these can be tapped or grown to satisfy demand, aquifer draw-down and soil erosion can limit how great a load can be sustained. All material resources need to be used wisely, not wastefully, since most resource use usually entails waste products, expense and disposal of unused material. Nonrenewables can be either reclaimable, like metals, or expendable (nonreclaimable) like petroleum. A reason for special care in consumption of expendables is that the supply is limited. Once used up, they're gone for good. \nReclaimables: In the 4.5 billion years of earth's existence, seismic and erosive action changed the distribution of materials in it; many valuable minerals became concentrated into a small number of areas, making them far more practical to extract than if they were more uniformly distributed. This fortunate situation is a one-time happening; if we throw them away they become widely dispersed, so when the concentrated sources run out, we either lose them or we have to collect them some time later at great expense. This is is why we need to recycle aluminum and many other metals including copper, lead, zinc, titanium and even iron. You'd think we'd keep pretty careful control of the more expensive stuff like gold, silver and platinum, but surprisingly a little of that still gets tossed (but less than used to be). Actually aluminum is abundant and not hard to find, but it takes a lot of energy to extract it from its ore, so reclaiming it pays too. \nExpendables: The petroleum we are using up today took many millions of years to form. At the current consumption rate we will use up all the petroleum we can get in 45 years (ref.). After that, we have to have figured out an alternative or we are in deep muck. Currently we have no practical alternative, especially for mobile, "go anywhere anytime" uses like cars. Hydrogen sounds good on the surface, but the only practical way to mass-produce it is from petroleum, losing energy as we do! So if we can postpone that moment of awful truth by conserving fuel now, we have a better chance of developing a true alternative. I hope you're on the side of the future. Your children will thank you.
