Natural resources are anything in nature that people can use. People cannot make natural resources, but get them from the earth. Examples of natural resources are air, water, copper, wood, oil, wind energy, hydro-electric energy, iron and coal. Refined(精炼的) oil is not a natural resource because people make it.
We often say that we can divide natural resources into two different groups: renewable resources and non-renewable resources.
Renewable resources can grow again and come back again after we use them. For example, soil, sunlight, water and wood are renewable resources.
Non-renewable resources are the resources that cannot grow or come back, or the resources that will take a very long time to come back. For example, coal is a non-renewable resource. When we use more coal, there will be less coal afterward. One day, there will be no coal to use. Non-renewable resources can be used up directly, or we can find a renewable resource to replace it. It is important to save non-renewable resources, because if we use them too quickly, there will not be enough in the future.
Most natural resources are limited. This means that they will run out. But perpetual(长久的;无尽的) resources won't. Some examples of perpetual resources include solar energy, tidal(潮汐的) energy and wind energy.
