2. WHAT IS A RESOURCE???
Everything
available in our
environment and
which satisfy our
needs
It should be
1.)
Technologically
accessible
2.) Culturally
acceptable
3.) Economically
feasible
Like - Solar Cooker – It is technologically accessible but not culturally acceptable

3. CLASSIFICATION OF RESOURCES
ORIGIN EXHAUSTIBILITY
Classification of
resources on the
basis of
OWNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

4. RESOURCES-ORIGIN
• Obtained from
Biosphere and have Life
• Examples- Flora, Fauna,
Fisheries, Livestock,
Human Beings
BIOTIC
• All the things which are
Composed of Non
Living Things
• Examples- Rocks,
Metals
ABIOTIC

5. RESOURCES-EXHAUSTIBILITY
Resources on the basis of
Exhaustibility
Renewable
These resources can be
renewed/recycled.
For Example
Solar and Water Energy,
Forests etc.
Further Divided into
Continuous-Water and Wind
Flow-Natural Vegetation and
Wildlife
Non Renewable
These resources cannot be
renewed as they take million
years to form.
For Example
Minerals, Fossil Fuels.

6. RESOURCES-OWNERSHIP
INDIVIDUAL
• The
resources
which are
owned
privately by
individuals.
• Example-
Mobiles,
Land.
COMMUNITY
• The which
resources
are
accessible to
all members
of the
society.
• Example-
Public Parks,
Playgrounds.
NATIONAL
• The
resources
which
belongs to
the
government.
• Technically
all resources
belong to
the nation.
• Example-
Roads,
Oceanic area
up to
19.2km.
INTERNATIONAL
• The
resources
belonging to
international
institutions.
• Example-
Oceanic
resources
beyond 200
nautical
miles of the
EEZ.

7. RESOURCES-STATUS OF
DEVELOPMENT
POTENTIAL
•Resources which are found in an region, but not have been utilized.
•Like Rajasthan and Gujarat have potential of solar and wind energy but not been used for some
reasons.
DEVELOPED
•Resources which are surveyed and their quality and quantity is determined for utilization
•The development of resources depends on technology and level of their feasibility.
STOCK
•The resources which have potential to satisfy human needs but there is no technology to use are
included among Stock.
•Like Water is a compound of Hydrogen and Oxygen which can be used as rich source of energy but
there is technology to use it.
RESERVES
•They are subset of stock which can be use with existing technology but are conserved for the future
generations.
•Like river water is used to a limited consent for generating electricity so that it can be used in future.

8. DEVELOPMENT OF RESOURCES
Development of
Resources
Essential for
future as
resources are
limited in supply
Unequal
Distribution
Exploitation
Ecological
Problem
Scarcity of
resources
Depletion
of resources

9. LAND DEGRADATION
DEFORESTATION INDUSTRIAL WASTE OVERUSE OF
FERTILIZERS
QUARRYING OVERDRAZING MINING

10. LAND CONSERVATION
Afforestation
Planting
Shelterbelts
Checking
Over
irrigation
Terrace
Farming

11. RESOURCE PLANNING
IDENDIFYING
INVENTORY OF
RESOURCES
ECONOMIC AND
TECNOLOGICAL
EVOLUTION
MATCHING
RESOURCE
DEVELOPMENT
PLAN
Resource Planning is
widely accepted
strategy for judicious
use of resources.
It has importance in a
country like India which
has enormous diversity
in resources
HOW IS RESOURCE PLANNING DONE???

12. SOIL AS A RESOURCE
Most important natural resource.
Medium of plant growth and supports different
types of living organism on the earth.
Takes million of years to form soil up to a few
cm in length.

13. FACTORS AFFECTING
FORMATION OF SOIL
Parent Rock Climate Vegetation
Wind
Activity of
Decomposition
Glaciers
Organic and
Inorganic
Materials
Temperature

14. CLASSIFICATION OF SOIL
Colour Thickness
Classification
on the basis
Chemical and
Physical
Properties
Texture-Age
of :-
ALLUVIAL
BLACK
RED
LATTERITE
ARID
FOREST

15. ALLUVIAL SOIL
Very Fertile
Formed by the
deposit [Sand and
Silt] brought by the
rivers
Found in Northern
Plains, Coastal
Plains, Deltas of
Rivers
Rice, Wheat,
Cotton, Oil Seed
Rich in Potash and
Lime
Deficiency in
Nitrogen

16. BLACK SOIL
Black in Colour
Known as Regur Soil,
Cotton Soil, Lava Soil
Made up of lava flow
[Breaking down of
igneous rocks]
Found in Maharashtra,
M.P, Chhattisgarh,
Godavari and Krishna
Valleys
Good Capacity to hold
moisture
Rich in Calcium
Carbonate, Potash,
Lime
Deficiency in
Phosphoric Content
Crack occurs when dry Sticky when wet

17. RED OR YELLOW SOIL
Porous Chores
Found in Eastern
and Southern part
of Deccan Plateau
Formed by the
denudation of
Igneous and
Metamorphic Rocks
Rice, Pulse, Sugar
Cane
Rich in Iron
Deficiency in
Nitrogen, Humus,
Lime

18. LATTERITE SOIL
Acidic Porous Leaching by
Heavy Rainfall
Found in
Western
Ghats, Shillong
Coffee,
Rubber,
Cashew
Rich in Iron
Deficiency in
Lime, Potash

19. ARID SOIL
Formed by
Weathering of
Rocks
Rich in Salt
Deficiency in
Humus
Dates, Melon,
Bajra
Rajasthan,
Punjab, Gujrat

20. FOREST SOIL
Found in
Rainforest and
Hilly areas
Acidic in
Nature
Deficiency in
Humus

21. SOIL EROSION
The denudation of the soil cover
and subsequent washing down is
called SOIL EROSION.
• 1.) Human- Deforestation, Over Grazing etc.
• 2.) Natural- Wind, Glacier etc
Due to Human and Natural
Factors
The processes of Soil Formation
and Erosion go on
simultaneously and generally
there is a balance b/w the two.
• 1.) Gully Erosion
• 2.) Sheet Erosion
Types :-

22. Contour Ploughing –
Ploughing around the contour lines to decelerate the flow of
water down the slopes
Terrace Farming –
Cutting out the slopes and making terraces
Strip Cropping –
Strips of grass are left to grow b/w the crops. It breaks up the
force of wind.
Planting Shelter Belts –
Planting lines of trees to create shelter.
