The resources which can be reproduced by physical, chemical and mechanical process is called renewable resources

Renewable resources: These are the sources which can be replenished over a period of time. Example is forest wood because wood can be grown by reforestation.

Developed resources: Resources that surveyed for utilisation and are being used currently are called developed resources. Example: Petroleum in Mumbai High

Based on ownership the resources are classified as individual, community, national and international resources.

Public Park is an example of community owned resource. Community resources are owned by a community instead of an individual.

The resources which can be reproduced by physical, chemical and mechanical process is called renewable resources. These are the sources which can be replenished over a period of time.

Wind is a natural and renewable source of energy.

Potential: resources which are surveyed for their quality and quantity and have determined to be useful in future are called potential resources.

Examples: mineral which exists in sedimentary rocks can be used in future.

Geothermal energy is the energy that is formed due to the differences in the temperature of core of earth and its surface which results in continuous conduction of temperature to the surface from core.

The energy thus generated is called geothermal energy. This can also be derived from heating ground water.

Some examples of renewable energy sources are solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, and biomass energy. These types of energy sources are different from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.
They can never be depleted.

A renewable resource is a resource which can be used repeatedly because it is replaced naturally. Examples are: oxygen, fresh water, solar energy, timber, and biomass. Renewable resources may include goods or commodities such as wood, paper and leather, because their sources are renewable.

The most of the hydro-electric power is generated and used in areas of large rivers. Because as we know the hydro-electric power is generated with the help of flowing water or falling water.

• Kaiga, Tarapore, Kakrapara, Narora atomic power stations are in India.
• Nuclear power is the fourth-largest source of electricity in India after thermal, hydroelectric and renewable sources of electricity. As of 2016, India has 22 nuclear reactors in operation at seven sites, having an installed capacity of 6780 MW. and producing a total of 30,292.91 GWh of electricity 11 more reactors are under construction to generate an additional 8,100 MW.

Aralvaimozhi is near the Muppandal wind farm. This farm is the largest in Asia and supplies the villagers with electricity for work. The farm is located near the once impoverished village of Muppandal.

The Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric dam that spans the Yangtze River by the town of Sandouping, located in Yiling District, Yichang, Hubei province, China.
The Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest power station in terms of installed capacity (22,500 MW).

The sun offers the most abundant, reliable and pollution-free power in the world.However, problems with solar energy, namely the expensive cost and inconsistent availability, have prevented it from becoming a more utilised energy source.

• Bhakra Dam has ten power generators with five on each side. Generators for the left power house were originally supplied by Hitachi, Japan and upgraded to the present capacity by Sumitomo, Hitachi and Adritz. Generators for the right side were originally supplied by Soviet Union and later upgraded to the present capacity by Russia. The two power houses have a total capacity of 1325 MW. The left power house contain 3 x 108 MW and 2 x 126 MW Francis turbines while the right has 5 x 157 MW.
• The power generated at Bhakra Dam is distributed among partner states of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh and Delhi.
• Three additional power plants are on the two canals Nangal Hydel Channel and Anandpur Sahib Hydel Channel that originate from Nangal dam. Their generation capacities are : Ganguwal - 77.65 MW, Kotla - 77.65 MW and Anandpur - 134 MW.

• Biomass is an organic matter derived from living organisms. Biomass can be used as a source of energy and most often refers to plants or plant-based materials that are not used for food or feed, and are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass.
• Sugarcane and Jatropha can produce Biomass energy.

In resource economics, Hartwick's rule defines the amount of investment in produced capital (buildings, roads, knowledge stocks, etc.) that is needed to exactly offset declining stocks of non-renewable resources.

All fossil fuels are non-renewable. Coal, crude oil, and natural gas are all considered fossil fuels because they were formed from the buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Natural gas is flammable gas, consisting largely of methane and other hydrocarbons, occurring naturally underground (often in association with petroleum) and used as fuel.
