The value of natural resources

Natural resources are very important to us. We use them a lot and they are very valuable to us. They are used for so many things in our lives. Some natural resources are worth more than others. The value depends on how much it is used. Oil and metals like gold, copper and iron are very valuable to us.

The value is also how much it is available. Scarce resources are more valuable than resources that are plentiful. For example, sand is very plentiful so it will be less valuable than gold which is not plentiful so it will be more valuable than sand. Natural resources sustain and improve our lives. Natural resources also give people ways to get money and and you can use it to trade.
