Categorizing Natural Resources

The video tutorial discusses natural resources, categorizing them into non-renewable and renewable types. Non-renewable resources, like fossil fuels, exist in fixed quantities and take millions of years to form. Renewable resources can replenish quickly but risk depletion if overused. Environmental degradation can make resources scarce. Perpetual resources, such as solar and wind energy, are continuously renewed and cannot be depleted.

Define environmental degradation in the context of natural resources.

What are perpetual natural resources, and can they be depleted?
