Natural resources are materials found on the earth. They include air, water, and land. They also include rocks, minerals, and soil. Even living things are natural resources. Some of earth's resources can be used and replaced over and over again. These are called renewable resources. Others cannot be replaced quickly. These are called nonrenewable resources.

Examples of renewable resources are fresh air, water, trees, other living things. People cut down trees to use their wood to build and make paper. If a tree is cut, another can be planted in its place. As it grows, it helps supply living things with oxygen, which is another important resource. Animals are used for food by other living things and they can reproduce naturally.
