Harmful Environmental Effects of Resource Extraction Processing and use. The indirect effects are much more devastating to the environment, from the effluent of processing facilities to accidents such as the Exxon Valdez or BP’s Deep Water Horizon and intentional spills caused by human conflict, like the Kuwait war.
The darker the shade of color, the better that piece of land is for extracting the associated resource. Statistics about natural resource availability and use can also be seen from this overlay.
If this argument is correct, it suggests that natural resource extraction and transport are likely to be associated with armed violence in many instances, but that the successful operation of other “resource extraction” mechanisms, such as property rights regimes, debt, and IMF lending, will often preclude the need for armed violence.
Natural resources are materials from the Earth that are used to support life and meet people’s needs. Any natural substance that humans use can be considered a natural resource. Oil, coal, natural gas, metals, stone and sand are natural resources. Other natural resources are air, sunlight, soil and water.
So if we use them all up, we will not have any more during our lifetime. Natural resources are made by the Earth only, and they are useful to humans in many ways. They can be biotic, such as plants, animals, and fossil fuels; or they can be abiotic, meaning they originate from nonliving and inorganic materials.
Updated: 09/16/2021 Natural resources are useful raw materials that we get from the Earth. They occur naturally, which means that humans cannot make natural resources. Instead, we use and modify natural resources in ways that are beneficial to us.
This sub-category includes those natural resources that are limited and can be depleted by human use, but also can be replenished or reproduced relatively quickly. Examples include animal life (fish, deer, etc.), plants, agricultural crops, water, and forests.
One natural resource that we take for granted is the air around us. Without it, there wouldn’t be any plants, animals, or any type of human life. Air is abundant and falls under renewable resources. The energy from this air is harnessed in the form of wind energy to generate electricity.
