The resources which can be reproduced by physical, chemical and mechanical process is called renewable resources

Renewable resources: These are the sources which can be replenished over a period of time. Example is forest wood because wood can be grown by reforestation.

Developed resources: Resources that surveyed for utilisation and are being used currently are called developed resources. Example: Petroleum in Mumbai High

Based on ownership the resources are classified as individual, community, national and international resources.

Public Park is an example of community owned resource. Community resources are owned by a community instead of an individual.

The resources which can be reproduced by physical, chemical and mechanical process is called renewable resources. These are the sources which can be replenished over a period of time.

Wind is a natural and renewable source of energy.

Potential: resources which are surveyed for their quality and quantity and have determined to be useful in future are called potential resources.

Examples: mineral which exists in sedimentary rocks can be used in future.

Geothermal energy is the energy that is formed due to the differences in the temperature of core of earth and its surface which results in continuous conduction of temperature to the surface from core.

The energy thus generated is called geothermal energy. This can also be derived from heating ground water.

Some examples of renewable energy sources are solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, and biomass energy. These types of energy sources are different from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.
They can never be depleted.

A renewable resource is a resource which can be used repeatedly because it is replaced naturally. Examples are: oxygen, fresh water, solar energy, timber, and biomass. Renewable resources may include goods or commodities such as wood, paper and leather, because their sources are renewable.

The most of the hydro-electric power is generated and used in areas of large rivers. Because as we know the hydro-electric power is generated with the help of flowing water or falling water.
