Natural Resources
Learning about the resources provided by nature that support life and human activity.
Core concept
Natural resources form the foundation of nearly all human economic activity — agriculture depends on soil and water, industry depends on minerals and energy sources, and even the air we breathe is a shared natural resource essential to survival. As human population and consumption grow, the demand on these resources increases, making it important to understand not just what resources exist, but how they are used and whether they can be replenished.
