Teacher says:
Natural resources are the things that we can find in our environment that we use to
meet our needs. These resources are not made by humans or any scientific
experiments inside the laboratories but exist in nature. There are two types of
natural resources: renewable and nonrenewable resources.
E. Discussing new concepts
Types of Natural Resources
and practicing new skills #2
 Renewable resources are materials that can be replaced easily or have the
potential to be replaced over time. Ex. Plants, animals, etc
 Nonrenewable resources are natural resources that are in limited supply or
once consumed, cannot be replaced. Ex. coal, oil, natural gas

Are we lucky in the Philippines?

The Philippines is considered rich in natural resources. Because of our tropical
climate, the Philippines receives abundant rainfall and sunshine. This is one of the
reasons why we have many different kinds of plants and animals.

We need water for domestic, irrigation, and industrial purposes among others. A
watershed is a catchment area that drains the water into streams, rivers, lakes, and
springs. Ex. La Mesa Dam and Angat Dam.

These watersheds supply the water needed by the communities and the varied life
forms in that area. A severe drought may cause rivers and deep wells to dry up but,
when rain comes, the water is replaced. Water in this case is also a renewable
resource.

On the other hand, too much rain can cause floods which can wash away the top
soil where plants grow. Soils are formed from rocks that were broken down by
physical and chemical weathering along with the materials from dead plants and
animals. Generally, it takes thousands of years for soils to form, so when soils are
washed away, it takes a very long time to replace them. Hence, soil is a
nonrenewable resource.

Philippines’ Rich Resources

Aside from the fertile and arable lands in the Philippines, our country is recognized
as the fifth mineral-rich country in the world, third in gold reserves, fourth in copper,
and fifth in nickel.

Our location in the Pacific Ring

of Fire as shown, accounts for this bounty. It is called the Ring of Fire because
there is a continuing movement of very hot magma or molten materials under the
ground.

Metallic mineral deposits like copper, gold, silver, lead, and zinc are usually mined
from deep within the roots of extinct volcanoes or those volcanoes with no record of
eruption for the last 10,000 years and are not expected to erupt again in the future.
Metals have many uses. For instance, copper is used for making electrical wires.
Iron is used in making steel bars for buildings and the construction of roads. The
milk cans
are created from tin. Stainless cooking wares are made out of a mixture of nickel
and
copper. Gold is usually used in making pieces of jewelry. Although metals are
nonrenewable resources, people use them without limits because of the economic
gain brought by these metals.

Moreover, our geological conditions also provide us with high potential for renewable
energy resources. The table below lists the different renewable energy resources.

These renewable energy resources serve as the alternative resources for the
commonly used nonrenewable energy resources such as coal, crude oil, natural
gas,
and other fossil fuels. These are formed from the geologic deposits of decayed
plants and animals that existed millions of years ago. Coal, crude oil, natural gas,
and other fossil fuels are nonrenewable because it will take millions of years for
dead plants and animals to turn into fossil fuels.

The nonrenewable energy resources are exhaustible and once consumed entirely, it
will take millions of years to replenish them. With the high potential for cheap and
clean energy from renewable resources, it is important that these alternative energy
resources be explored to supply our energy needs before it becomes too late.
