WHAT IS NATURAL RESOURCES Primitive man lived in caves and that he was at the mercy of nature for food, clothing and shelter. In contrast, modern man lives a very secure life because of many facilities which provide him comfort and safety. However, even today is depended on the nature for his all requirements. That is why the material available in nature which are useful to man are considered to be treasures. Useful materials available in nature are called natural wealth or resources Home Page NEXT BACK

PowerPoint Presentation: 

We get all the water we need form the lakes, rivers, lakes, well, etc. these are called sources of water. Anything from which profitable material or useful articles can be obtained is said to be source of that material As, the energy of the sun is useful to all living things or earth, the sun is considered to be a natural resources. The sun is a source of energy. Define  1)Materials are available in nature which are use full to mankind are called natural resources 2) air, water, minerals, and sun are the natural resources Home Page NEXT BACK

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Natural resources may be grouped into tree types- through that are obtained from the earth, air and water. The earth is rightly called treasures house of natural resources. The soil it self is resources the sea yields food materials. Oxygen form the air is useful for living thing. Home Page NEXT BACK

Uses of Natural Resources Animals eat their food as it is available in nature. Barring a few exception, all the animals use naturally available places for shelter, as they find them. Plants use light carbon dioxide, water, and salts to make their own food In early times, man, too, used natural resources minimally only for obtaining food, clothing and shelter. Over the ages, by using his intelligence, he developed a number of the technologies. He put these to use to make useful thing for himself form many material that are available in nature.

Home Page NEXT BACK By making goods use of the available natural resources man has created comfort and facilities for himself and has thus, enrich his life. However, we see that the distribution of all these comforts and facilities is not equitable among all the people on the earth. For example, through advancement in agriculture technology makes it possible to achieve abundant food production, many people all over the world die of starvation.

Home Page NEXT BACK Types of Natural Resources Land: Soil is useful in agriculture and making earthenware pots. Minerals, mineral oil and fossil fuels, deposits of which are found buried deep inside the earth, are important natural resources. Water accumulating below the ground surface is also one of useful natural resources. Different types of wells are sunk to gain access to this ground water.

Home Page NEXT BACK Air: the atmosphere around the earth helps to maintain temperature on the earth at specific level. Some rays in the sunlight like the ultra-violate rays ones which can prove harmful to living things are absorbed in the atmosphere. Water: Seawater evaporates and, rising into the atmosphere forms cloud. When these clouds cool, they caused rain and thus, provide water for drinking. Some minerals are found in ocean beds. Seawater itself is a source of common salt which is of great use of man. Marine life also is a source of food materials and other useful substances

Home Page NEXT BACK Plants and Animals are Natural Resources The Indian rhinoceros found in Assam, West Bengal and Nepal is a Distinctive Feature of the Fauna of the region. The rhinoceros has an important place in the life of in that region. Rare species of wild animals like the rhinoceros the kangaroo, the peacock and the elephant which are found only in the world become integrated into the cultural life of the region. Like wild animals; special features of plant life like the alphonso mango of the konkan, teak trees of Karnataka, condiments of Kerala also become a part of the local traditions.

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Home Page NEXT BACK Materials like minerals and fossil fuels being nonliving are not replenishable. When the coal mines at one place are exhausted we have to hunt for coal on other places. Rice, Jowar and wheat crops are grown every year. A mango tree gives fruit every year. A cow gives birth to calf and so the species is perpetuated even though an individual dies. Plants and animals are, therefore, said to be renewable natural resources. Renewable Natural Resources

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Home Page NEXT BACK It takes many years to grow single tree although it can be cut down in less than one hour. Hence, a sense of responsibility is essential while using renewable natural resources, too. Erstwhile princely state of Bhor was at one time a leading producer of hirada. You may be aware that many species of wild animals are on the way to extinction as a result of hunting and poaching.

Home Page NEXT BACK Proper use of Natural Resources Where some years ago a couple of sets of clothes at a time where considered sufficient, today, every individual feels the need to own many different types of clothes. Dozens of pairs of footwear are brought where earlier a single pair would have been sufficient. The tremendous increasing population also in an increasing in the demands for all kinds of communities. Naturally the limited sources of raw material are in danger of becoming in exhausted.

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Home Page NEXT BACK A controlled conscientious use of available resources is one way of dealing with crisis of scarcity. Putting a limit on the use of all facilities reduce consumption. For vehicles for every outing. This will help reduce fuel consumption. If out covering to please the palate is avoided it will help save food resources. Water: Seawater evaporates and, rising into the atmosphere forms cloud. When these clouds cool, they caused rain and thus, provide water for drinking. Some minerals are found in ocean beds. Seawater itself is a source of common salt which is of great use of man. Marine life also is a source of food materials and other useful substances

PowerPoint Presentation: 

A careless use natural resources also Causes a wastage of natural resources. A very large quantity of water is wasted because community and house hold tap are left running even when not in use. Lakhs of liters of water go waste merely because leaking taps are not repaired in time. You are familiar with the wastage of electricity in houses. Home Page NEXT BACK Every nation today has a defence budget of crores of rupees. Very large quantities of fuel, metals, chemicals and other resources are spent continuously in maintaining a defence force and keeping it both efficient and well-equipped. In actual war there is nothing but devastation not only for natural resources but also of human resources.

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Many natural resources are in danger of being depleting because of increasing demand and improper use. If these resources are exhausted, the very existence of mankind in endanger An rapid deforestation and rising consumption of fuel is causing an increase in proportion of carbon dioxide in air. If this increase continues at the present rate the temperature of atmosphere may rise about 4 O to 5 O in the next 50 years. If this happens the ice on the mountains in the polar regions will melt causing floods which will devastate the habitants along the blank of the rivers. The higher temperature will also cause the level of water in the sea to rise leading to the danger of the coastal areas becoming submerged. Home Page NEXT BACK

The ozone layer in the atmosphere is vulnerable to damage by the presence of polluting gases like of carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, methane, chlorofluoro-carbons in air. Home Page NEXT BACK

PowerPoint Presentation: 

One of the important steps to be taken avert the possible crises cited above is to plan deployment of natural resources properly. If every persons resolve to use facilities we will not have to face a scarcity of fuels, and water to will be equitably distributed. Another important steps that should be taken is to wards the plantation, nurture and conservation of trees although collective efforts on all tracts of denuded land. It will also help to keep air pure and prevent soil erosion. Planned use of Natural Resources Home Page NEXT BACK

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Steps are taken by the government to ensure an equitable. Distribution of daily necessities like electricity, water and food grains to adequate meets the need of every individual. Efforts towards the planned use of natural resources are also needed at international level. For this instance, many countries all over the world are engaged of deadly weapons of destruction, in self-defence. This This involves a colossal expenditure of natural resources. If all the nation were to honestly put to production of weapons of destruction to an end, it would be a major contribution towards conservation of natural resources. Home Page BACK NEXT
