Natural resources would include trees, crude oil, coal, even plants and animals. On the whole we do consume far more then we replace of most resources, and thus all the talk about running out of natural resources.
Natural resources are things that come from the earth and are used to fuel our lifestyles. Things like water, coal, wood and oil are some examples of natural resources. Since they come from nature, we can't manufacture more of them once the environment runs out!
A natural resource is a material that is available in its form in nature. It requires almost no processing but does require some distillation. An example is crude oil, wood, metal ore.
Natural resources refers to living materials such as trees and animals, or useful materials such as oil and mineral ores, which are used to build or fuel manmade objects.
Natural resources are the things the earth provides, water, air, minerals, gas, oil, soil, wood, rock, wildlife, etc. We deplete them when we clear-cut, pollute air & water, destroy habitat.
