Resources Concept Map Basics and Key Branches
A resources concept map organizes the materials people use from the environment and the economy. Natural resources are usually split into renewable resources, which replenish over time such as sunlight, wind and water, and non-renewable resources, which form slowly or not at all such as coal, oil and natural gas. Maps also track how each resource is used and what effects its extraction and use have on land, air and water.
- Renewable resources: sunlight, wind, water, biomass and geothermal energy
- Non-renewable resources: fossil fuels, minerals and metal ores
- Uses: energy, food, building materials and manufacturing
- Environmental impacts: pollution, habitat loss and resource depletion
- Conservation: recycling, efficiency and sustainable management
Use this map to review for exams, compare resource types, or plan a project. Then generate a personalized resources map with CogniGuide from your own notes.
Resources Concept Map Questions
Answers about natural resources and how to build your own map.
What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources?
Renewable resources, such as solar energy, wind and water, are replenished naturally over short periods. Non-renewable resources, such as coal, oil and natural gas, form over millions of years and cannot be replaced on a human timescale.
What are examples of human-made resources?
Human-made resources include buildings, roads, machines, tools and infrastructure. They are created from natural resources and are used to produce goods and services.
Which files can I upload to make my own resources map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images. You can also type a topic and build a map from that.
Can I turn my resources map into a quiz?
Yes. Any map can be turned into a quiz to test yourself, and the same notes can also become flashcards. A free plan allows 5 creations a week.
