Resources

Typology

Jesus Martin:

"NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES: Finite resources. They cannot be regenerated by natural processes (on a human scale of time). Examples: oil, coal, minerals.

RENEWABLE RESOURCES: They can always be regenerated by natural processes unless it has not exceeded its capacity for renewal. Examples: plants, animals.

CONTINUOUS RESOURCES: They are unlimited energy sources and they cannot be affected by humans. Examples: solar energy, wind energy, gravity."
