Have you used any natural resources today? If you’ve taken a breath or sipped some water, then the answer is definitely yes!
A natural resource is something found in nature that people can use. Earth’s natural resources include air, water, and minerals, or materials from the Earth. Plants, soil, and animals are all natural resources, too. We can use them to make food, shelter, and clothing.
Some natural resources are found in many communities around the United States. Others are found in only a few places. Check out some of our nation’s natural resources below.
