"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed." -- Mahatma Gandhi
Natural Resources of the Earth
The wind, the tides, geothermal heat (from the disintegration of the radioactive atoms in the Earth's core) and the sun are just some of the Earth's amazing natural resources that we can use to power our lives - but the Earth doesn't just provide us with fuel for electricity and heat - there's a myriad of other resources on offer all around us. What are Natural Resources?
- Air, water and soil
- Biological resources - plants and animals
- Raw materials (like minerals)
- Space and land
- Wind, geothermal, tidal and solar energy
