In research, sources are categorized as primary (original material), secondary (analysis of primary sources), and tertiary (summaries or compilations). Understanding these types helps researchers evaluate sources and choose the most appropriate ones for their needs.
Here's a breakdown:
Primary Sources:
These provide firsthand accounts or original works, such as:
Original documents (e.g., letters, diaries, speeches)
Creative works (e.g., artwork, music, poetry)
Research data (e.g., experimental results, survey data)
Eyewitness accounts
Government documents
Photographs, videos, audio recordings
Theses and dissertations
Secondary Sources:
These analyze, interpret, or evaluate primary sources, including:
Scholarly articles and books that discuss or critique primary sources
Biographies
Literary criticism
Commentaries
Histories
Newspaper articles that analyze news events
Tertiary Sources:
These summarize or compile information from primary and secondary sources, such as:
Encyclopedias
Dictionaries
Almanacs
Fact books
Bibliographies
Guidebooks
Manuals
Textbooks (sometimes)
Abstracts
Compilations
Resources can be broadly classified as natural (like land, water, minerals), human (skills, labor), and human-made (tools, infrastructure), with further categorization based on availability (renewable vs. non-renewable) and ownership (individual, community, national, international).
Here's a more detailed breakdown of resource types:
By Origin/Nature:
Natural Resources: These are resources that exist naturally in the environment, without human intervention.
Renewable Resources: Resources that can be replenished naturally over a relatively short period, such as solar energy, wind, and water.
Non-renewable Resources: Resources that are finite and cannot be replenished naturally, such as fossil fuels and minerals.
Abiotic Resources: Non-living resources like land, water, air, and minerals.
Biotic Resources: Living resources like plants, animals, and forests.
Ubiquitous Resources: Resources found everywhere, like air, light, and water.
Localized Resources: Resources found only in certain areas, like metal ores and geothermal power.
Human Resources: These refer to the skills, knowledge, and labor of people.
Human-made Resources: These are resources created by humans, such as tools, buildings, and infrastructure.
Capital Resources: These are manufactured goods used to produce other goods and services.
Material Resources: Tangible assets like tools, equipment, and raw materials.
By Ownership/Accessibility:
Individual Resources: Resources owned privately by individuals.
Community Resources: Resources accessible to all members of a community.
National Resources: Resources belonging to a nation, with the nation having legal powers to acquire them.
International Resources: Resources regulated by international organizations, such as international waters.
Animals are a productive resource. First of all, they supply a wide variety of foods that man needs to survive: milk, cheese, eggs, butter, salami and cold meat, etc. Some animal species, such as corals and oysters, are used by man to produce jewels and handicrafts. Animals provide manure for fertilizer, on-farm power.
Leviticus 11
Laws about animals for food.
Sura 24 - Al-Noor (MADINA) : Verse 45
And Allah has created every animal from water: of them there are some that creep on their bellies; some that walk on two legs; and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills: for verily Allah has power over all things. Translation : Eng-Yusuf Ali
Animal Resources
Metallic resources are things like Gold, Silver, Tin, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Iron, Nickel, Chromium, and Aluminum. Nonmetallic resources are things like sand, gravel, gypsum, halite, Uranium, dimension stone. A mineral resource is a volume of rock enriched in one or more useful materials.
Revelation 4:3
3And He who sat there appeared like [the crystalline sparkle of] a jasper stone and [the fiery redness of] a sardius stone, and encircling the throne there was a rainbow that looked like [the color of an] emerald.
Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (MADINA) : Verse 125
And (remember) when We made the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) a place of resort for mankind and a place of safety. And take you (people) the Maqâm (place) of Ibrâhim (Abraham) [or the stone on which Ibrâhim (Abraham) A.S. stood while he was building the Ka'bah] as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers, e.g. two Rak'at after the Tawâf of the Ka'bah at Makkah), and We commanded Ibrâhim (Abraham) and Ismâ'il (Ishmael) that they should purify My House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) for those who are circumambulating it, or staying (I'tikâf), or bowing or prostrating themselves (there, in prayer). Translation : Eng-Dr. Mohsin
There are different types of plant resources. These include food crops, cash crops, crops for textiles, wood, ornamental and medicinal plants.
Genesis 1:29-30
29So God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of the entire earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; 30and to all the animals on the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that moves on the ground—to everything in which there is the breath of life—I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so [because He commanded it].
Sura 6 - Al-Anaam (MAKKA) : Verse 99
And it is He who hath sent down rain from heaven and We have thereby brought forth growth of every kind, and thereout We have brought forth green stalks from which We bring forth close-growing seed-grain. And from the date-stone: from the spathe thereof come forth clusters of dates lowhanging; and gardens of grapes, and the olive, and the pomegranate, like unto one anot her and unlike. Look at the fruit thereof when it fruiteth and the reforming thereof. Verily therein are signs unto a people who believe. Translation : Eng-Abdul Daryabadi
