प्रश्न
Why are coal and petroleum categorised as natural resources? Give a reason as to why they should be used judiciously.
उत्तर
Natural resources are those living or non-living substances available in our environment which are exploited to meet the human requirements. Since coal and petroleum are actually the fossils of the dead plants and animals respectively, therefore they are also considered as natural resources.
Both coal and petroleum are used as important source of energy since long time. Both these fossil fuels were formed millions of years ago from the degradation of biomass. Since these fossil fuels are non-renewable in nature and they have limited reserves, therefore they must be used judiciously, otherwise they will get exhausted very soon.
