Solution

Dear Student,
The solution to your 1st and 2nd part has been provided below:

1. On the basis of origin we can classify resources as biotic and abiotic resources.
a.Biotic resources: These resources are obtained from biosphere and they have a life such as human beings, flora and fauna, fisheries, livestock etc.
b.Abiotic resources includes all those things which do not have life like rocks and metals.

2. On the basis of stage of development the resources can be classified as
a. Potential resources: The entire quantity of these resources are not known and are not being used now. The amount of technology may not be superior to use these resources now. E.g. uranium in Ladakh may be used in future.
b. Actual resources: These resources are those whose quantities are known, fully nurtured and are being used in the present are called actual resources. E.g. the dark soils of the Deccan plateau in Maharashtra, coal mine in Neyveli are actual resources.

For remaining queries we request you to post them in separate threads to have rapid assistance.

Regards.
