    Natural resources are materials found in nature that can be used by humans. They are classified based on their origin as biotic (living organisms) or abiotic (non-living materials), by their chemical composition as minerals or energy, and by their availability as renewable (replenishable) or non-renewable (non-replenishable). Some key natural resources include forests, providing wood and habitat; water; minerals; food; energy sources like fossil fuels; and land. Forests resources face major threats from deforestation and desertification, which can lead to disasters like fires and landslides. Water resources refer to sources of water useful for agriculture, industry, households, recreation, and the environment, primarily fresh
