Environment and its Problems


   
 
Natural Resources
The things that man derives from the environment are called natural resources. Natural resources are thus stores of supplies that are needed by man. The resources include the energy, air, soil, water, minerals, microbes, other organisms, etc.
 
 
Classification
 
The resources may be classified in two ways:
 
Living
 
Non-living
 
Living Resources
 
The living resources include the plants, animals and the microbes. They are also called the organic resources.
 
Non-living Resources
 
The non-living resources include the air, water, energy, minerals, etc. Soil is also a non-living resource. However, since it also contains the microbes and other living organisms, it is sometimes referred to as mixed resource.
