“Natural Resources” Blessings of the God!!

Natural resources define as materials that occur in nature and are beneficial to humans such as water, air, land, forests,  wildlife,  fossil fuels and minerals. Thorough out civilization, the use of these resources has been a major factor in the continuation of the expansion of human life as we already know.The use of these resources by our ancestors   years ago contrary with the advanced  stage where the  collection, and detection of natural resources has become a main focus because of our over usage.   Especially the use of fossil fuels, the impact of energy 
production on the environment has intensified with industrialization  throughout the 19th century and well into the 20th, coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel, drove the Industrial Revolution and left its mark as a heavy cloud that darkened the skies over the industrial centers.With the development of the gasoline, internal-combustion engine in the early 1900s marked the beginning of the ascent of oil as the main source of energy in the United States. Today the focus of natural resources have changed, they have now become a focus for energy, the collection and sale of that energy from the countries that have, to the ones that don't.
          There is much debate worldwide over natural resource allocations, this is partly due to increasing scarcity and also because the exportation of natural resources is the basis for many economies particularly for the developing nations.The natural resources are materials, which living organisms can take from nature  for sustaining their life or any components of the natural environment that can be utilized by man to promote his welfare is considered as natural resources.
