Further Natural Resources are categorised in following types ie .
1) Biotic & Abiotic
2) Renewable & Non-Renewable
3) Potential, Developed & Stocked.
A) NATURAL RESOURCE:- are those which are made available to us by nature itself. We should use it in such a way so that it doesn’t get extinct and our future generations also get to use the and benifit out of it.
B) MAN-MADE RESOURCES:- When a man uses natural thing to make something new that gives utility and value to our lives it is called man-made resources.

A resource is any material that is available to us in our surroundings that is economically viable, technologically accessible, and culturally sustainable and that helps us meet our needs and desires. Utility or usability is something which makes any material resource.
Types of Resources
Natural
Human Made
Human
Natural Resources:-Natural resources are those resources that are drawn from nature and it is used without much modifications.
Natural resources are further divided into renewable and non renewable resources.
Renewable Resources:- Resources which get renewed and recharged quickly are called renewable resources. Some of these are unaffected by human activities because the are unlimited in quality, such as wind energy and solar energy.
Non Renewable Resources:- Resources which are limited and can be exhausted by human activities are known as non renewable resources, it could take thousands of years to regenerate and recharge. Petroleum,coal and natural gas are some examples of non renewable resources.
Human Made Resources
Natural material sometimes only can be used as resources after changing them from their original state. Buildings, bridges, roads, machines, and automobiles are examples of human-made resources derived from natural resources.
Human Resources
If people have the necessary knowledge, skills, technology, and resources, they can maximise the use of the natural world to produce more resources.That is why people are a unique resource. Human resources are people. People become a precious resource with the help of education and health.

Anything that may be used to further an objective is a resource. Resources might be material, like cash, supplies, or machinery. They may also be immaterial, like time, information, or abilities.
Resources are crucial because they enable us to accomplish our objectives. We wouldn’t be able to do anything without resources. Resources are essential because they enable us to improve the planet. We can all have better lives if we use resources responsibly.
Resources can be categorised in many different ways, and the quantity of types might change based on the situation and viewpoint.
Natural resources are materials or substances that exist naturally in the environment and are exploited by humans. Examples include the following: water, air, minerals, forests, wildlife, and fossil fuels.
Renewable Resources: These resources have the capacity to refill or regenerate over time. Examples include biomass, wind, hydroelectricity, solar energy, and some types of forests.
Non-renewable materials are scarce and cannot be replenished in a human timeframe. Examples include uranium, fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), and minerals like gold, silver, and copper.
