Explanation:
There are different types of resources. They are:

• Natural resources
• Human-made resources
• Human resources

Natural resources can be further classified into renewable resources and non-renewable resources.

The resources that are drawn from nature and used without much modification are called natural resources.

Like we saw, there are two classifications within natural resources.

• Renewable resources:
  • These are resources that get renewed or replenished quickly and are almost unlimited in nature.
  • Examples: Solar energy, wind energy, and more
• Non-renewable resources:
  • These are resources that have limited stock in nature.
  • Examples: Coal, petroleum, natural gas, and more

Next is human-made resources.

• When natural resources are used by humans to create something new and usable, it is called a human-made resource. Sometimes, natural substances become resources only when their original form has been changed.
• For example, Iron ore was not a resource until people learnt to extract iron from it and with the use of iron humans made various things for their use.

Now the last one is Human resources.

• Humans in itself are considered a resource. So, that is why it is called human resources. People can make the best use of nature to create more resources by applying the knowledge, skill, and the technology.
• A term that is close to human resources is human resource development. Human resource development is the process of improving the quality of people’s skills to create more resources.
