Resources
- 2. What is resource? • Resource is the collective wealth of a country or its means of producing wealth. • It is something that a country can use to increase its wealth too. • It is a source of supply, support, or aid, especially one that can be readily drawn upon when needed. • It is a source or supply from which benefit is produced.
- 4. Characteristics of Resources • Usefulness • Limitedness • All resource are interrelated. • Accessibility
- 5. Types of Resources • Economic Resources • Biological Resources • Land or Natural Resources • Human Resources
- 6. Economic Resources Economic resources are the goods or services available to individuals and businesses used to produce valuable consumer products. The classic economic resources include land, labor, capital and entrepreneur.
- 8. Biological Resources In biology and ecology a resource is defined as a substance that is required by a living organism for normal growth, maintenance, and reproduction. Resources, such as food, water, or nesting sites, can be consumed by an organism and, as a result, become unavailable to other organisms.
- 10. Land or Natural Resources Natural resources are materials and components that can be found within the environment. Every man-made product is composed of natural resources. A natural resource may exist as a separate entity such as fresh water, and air, as well as a living organism such as a fish, or it may exist in an alternate form which must be processed to obtain the resource such as metal ores, oil, and most forms of energy.
- 12. Categories Of Natural Resources Resources can be categorized • on the basis of origin • based on the stage of development • on the basis of reliability • based on distribution
- 13. Categories Of Natural Resources Resources can be categorized on the basis of origin: • Abiotic resources comprise non-living things (e.g., land, water, air and minerals such as gold, iron, copper, silver). • Biotic resources are obtained from the biosphere. Forests and their products, animals, birds and their products, fish and other marine organisms are important examples. Minerals such as coal and petroleum are sometimes included in this category because they were formed from fossilized organic matter, though over long periods of time.
- 15. Categories Of Natural Resources Natural resources are also categorized based on the stage of development: • Potential resources are known to exist and may be used in the future. • Actual resources are those that have been surveyed, their quantity and quality determined, and are being used in present times. Natural resources can be categorized on the basis of renewability: • Non-renewable resources are formed over very long geological periods. Minerals and fossils are included in this category. • Renewable resources, such as forests and fisheries, can be replenished or reproduced relatively quickly.
- 17. Categories Of Natural Resources Natural resources are also categorized based on distribution: • Ubiquitous resources are found everywhere (e.g., air, light, water). • Localized resources are found only in certain parts of the world (e.g., copper and iron ore, geothermal power). On the basis of ownership, resources can be classified as • individual, community, national, and international.
- 18. Human Resources Human resources is the set of individuals who make up the workforce of an organization, business sector, or economy. Other terms sometimes used include "manpower", "talent", "labor", or simply "people".
- 19. Resources are a vital part of our earth!
- 20. Resources of Bangladesh The main natural resource found here is natural gas. Bangladesh is a net importer of crude oil and petroleum products. The first commercial oil facility was built in Haripur. The Jalalabad, Maulvi Bazar, Bibiyana and Bangura-Lalmai gas fields are also of much importance now. The Bengal delta has a hydrocarbon-bearing sediment structure with rich mineral deposits. The northeastern Sylhet Division is the country's largest natural gas and crude oil producer, followed by Chittagong Division, Dhaka Division and Barisal Division; while dozens of offshore blocks lay in the Bay of Bengal.
- 22. Resources of Bangladesh Various kinds of minerals like limestone, hard rock, peat, construction sand, gravel, glass sand, white clay, beach sand, brick clay, etc. are found here. Many types of important heavy minerals are discovered in the beaches of Cox’s Bazar. About 1.76 million tons of heavy minerals are estimated to be in the ground. Some minerals contain titanium.
- 24. Resources of Bangladesh The soil of Bangladesh is very fertile and it contains silt and humus. The country normally has ample of water supply cause it is the country of rivers. So crops like rice, tea, jute, wheat, corn, etc. grows well here. Even various types of fruits, potatoes, and vegetables grows well in this place.
- 25. Resources of Bangladesh Human is also part of resources. The population of Bangladesh is vast regarding its size. It has the highest population density in the world. But rarely the vast population is of much use here. There are workers but less skillful people. Intellectuals just leave the country for their personal matter.
