    Natural resources include renewable and non-renewable sources. Renewable resources are those that regenerate naturally, like air, forests, and solar power. Non-renewable resources like fossil fuels take millions of years to form and are in limited supply. Natural resource extraction is important but also causes environmental disruption.

    Natural Resources

    1
    What is a natural resource?
    A natural resource is a source of products that are
    inherent to earth

    2. Natural resources include renewable and non-


    renewable resources

    3. Natural resources are exploited to create the


    products and services that we depend on

    4. Natural resource extraction causes great


    environmental disruption

    RENEWABLE SOURCES 

    1. •Air
    2. •Forest
    3. •Solar Power

    4
    Air 
    • Wind is caused by the uneven
    heating of the atmosphere.
    Some areas of the world, such as
    costal regions, have more wind
    than others because the terrain
    of the area is relatively flat and
    has few obstacles to block the
    wind from blowing.

    5
    FOREST 
    Forests have moderate climate,
    help cleanse the air and water,
    and house wildlife. They also
    provide thousands of wood
    products and related jobs.
    Trees are used to make paper,
    hockey sticks, flooring and food
    Forests face threats from fire,
    pollution, erosion and acid rain

    6
    SOLAR ENERGY 
    The sun is the closest star to
    Earth. It brings heat and light to
    the world. Some areas of the
    world, such as those closest to the
    equator, have more sun than
    others.
    The sun shines naturally but it is
    not affected by human activity. It
    cannot be used up. However, its
    intensity varies with the seasons,
    and it is not available at night.

    7
    Non-Renewable Resources

    Fossil Fuels

    Natural
    Coal Petroleum Gas

    8
    Fossil Fuels 
    Fossil fuels take millions of years to form.
    They are the product of the fossilized
    remains of dead plants and animals that
    have been exposed to the heat and
    pressure deep within the earth’s crust.
    There are many types of fossil fuels, such as
    petroleum (gasoline), natural gas, and coal.
