- 7. Resources can be classified in several ways. On the basis of origin, they are biotic (from living things, like plants and animals) or abiotic (from non-living things, like minerals and metals). On the basis of exhaustibility, they are renewable (which can be renewed, like solar energy and water) or non-renewable (which take very long to form, like coal and petroleum). On the basis of ownership, they may be individual, community, national or international. On the basis of the status of development, they are potential (found but not yet used), developed (surveyed and in use), stock (present but not usable with current technology) or reserves (a part of stock that can be used in future). This classification helps in planning their proper use.
