Natural Resources
The Earth’s
atmosphere,
waters, and
solid crust
provide almost
everything we
need to
survive.
Natural Resources
Humans have
found ways to
survive by
using natural
resources to
change their
immediate
surroundings.
Natural Resources
A natural resource is any
natural substance, organism,
or energy form that living
things use.
Natural Resources
Most resources are made into
products that make people’s
lives more comfortable and
convenient.
Lumber
This pile of lumber is made of wood, which
comes from trees.
What are some things you would use lumber for?
Gasoline
The gasoline in this can is made from oil
pumped from the Earth’s crust.
What would you use this gasoline for?
Electricity
Electricity generated by these wind turbines
ultimately comes from the sun’s energy.
What would you use electricity for?
Renewable Resources
A renewable resource is a natural resource
that can be used and replaced over a
relatively short time.
Renewable Resources
Fresh water, fish, and trees are just a few of
the renewable resources available on
Earth.
Can you think of any other renewable resources?
Nonrenewable Resources
A nonrenewable resource is a natural
resource that cannot be replaced or can
be replaced only over thousands or
millions of years.
Nonrenewable Resources
Coal, natural gas, and iron ore, can be
replaced only over thousands or millions of
years once they are used up.
Can you think of any other nonrenewable resources?
Conserving Natural Resources
Whether the natural resources are renewable
or nonrenewable, we should be careful about
how we use them. We should try to only use
them when necessary.
What are some ways you can conserve natural
resources?
Recycling
Recycling is the use of used or discarded
materials that have been reprocessed into
new products.
Recycling
Recycling can reduce the amount of natural
