Question

Classify resources on the basis of their origin.

Answer 1

Resources can be classified as Biotic and Abiotic on the basis of origin:-

• Resources obtained from the biosphere, like forests, wildlife, fisheries, livestock, human beings, etc., which have life, are called biotic resources.
• Resources which are obtained from non-living things are called abiotic resources. Iron, copper, gold and lead are abiotic resources.
