One interesting fact about natural resources is that there are two types of natural resources. The first type refers to the non-renewable natural resources. As the name suggests, these natural resources cannot be renewed and hence there are only a limited number of reserves of these natural resources available.
These include oil, gas, and coal. The other type of natural resources are the renewable natural resources which include the wind, sunlight, and water. These can be reused over and over again without depleting some reserves where they come from. Did you know? The United States owns the largest coal reserves in the world.
