Renewable resources

termed renewable resources.

non-renewable resources.
Examples of non-renewable
resources include fossil fuels,
such as coal, petroleum,
natural gas and rare minerals
typically found in meteorites.

This can be seen as something humans have cra ed
for a source of energy or power. A prime example
could be solar energy as this was created and made
by a human, such as solar panels and wind turbines
to create electricity and energy. Other examples can
be cement, wood and metal as they are used to make
homes and buildings. Man-made resources mostly as
a whole can be renewed as they can be ‘fixed’, such
as a cracked wall can be filled or patched up by a
person who completed the work in the first place.

10. Human resources
Human resources (HR) is the set of
people who make up the workforce
of an organization, business sector,
industry, or economy. A narrower
concept is human capital, the
knowledge and skills which the
individuals command. Similar
terms include manpower, labor, or
personnel.
