Class:141020205Natural resourcesand economicgrowth Abstract:economy is the basicof anycountry,so,its essentialfor countryto developthe economy.There isno doubtthat natural resources are the basicof economybecause theyare theraw materialof anyeconomic production.They havestrong relationshipswith theeconomic developinglevel aswell as the policy,environment,and soon.Researching theelementary knowledgeand thecondition of natural resourceswill behelpful forour economy.So,we choosethis topicand doa paperjust whatyou arereading.It tellyou fouraspects aboutdefinition,relationship andattitude aboutthe natural resources themselvesand someexamples.Key words:Natural resourceEconomic growthContinuous developmentIntroduction Thesisstatement Definitionof the natural resources肖馨悦的There aretwo definitionsabout natural resources aordingto theInter andtextbook:1.Natural Resourcesare allthat existswithout theactions of humankind.2.Any naturalexistences foundedby humanand beingput to the processof productionor to the consumptionprocess arecalled natural resources.They areuseful,or itcan bringpeople fortablesensation.Thereby itcan bringvalue toeconomy andimprove thecurrent andfuture welfareofhumanbeings.The definitionabout economicgrowth:Economic growthis theincrease in the valueof goodsand servicesproduced byan economy.It isconventionally measuredasthepercent rate of increasein realGDP Classification,Natural resourcesmay befurther classifiedin differentways.There arevarious methodsof categorizingnaturalresources,these includesource oforigin,stage ofdevelopment,and bytheir renewability.These classificationsare describedbelow.On thebasis oforigin,naturalresourcesmay bedivided into:Potential resources,Actual resources,Reserve resources,Stock resources.By characteristicsand factors,they can be classifiedinto:Air,Energy,such as,fuel,nuclear,solar,tidal,wave,wind,coal andpetroleum,geothermal energy,Land,Life,Water.There arevery fewresources thatare consideredinexhaustible(will notrun outin foreseeablefuture)these aresolar radiation,geothermal energy,and air(though aessto cleanair maynot be).The vastmajority ofresources areexhaustible,which meansthey have a finitequantity,and can be depletedif managedimproperly.Renewability isa verypopular topicand manynaturalresourcescanbecategorized aseither renewableor non-renewable.Renewable resourcescanbereplenished naturally.Some ofthese resources,like sunlight,air,wind arecontinuously availableand theirquantity isnot noticeablyaffected byhuman consumption.Non-renewable resourceseither formslowly ordo notnaturally formintheenvironment.Minerals are the mostmon resourceincluded inthis category.By thehuman perspective,resources arenon-renewable whentheir rateof consumptionexceeds therateofreplenishment/recovery;Importance There are manydebates worldwideover naturalresource allocations;this ispartly dueto increasingscarcity(depletion ofresources)but alsobecause theexportation ofnaturalresourcesisthebasis formany economies(particularly fordeveloped nations).1.A countrys naturalresources determihe nationalwealth and the countrys internationalposition inthe worldeconomy aswell asthe politicalinfluential power.Natural resourcesarethebasis ofeconomy nomatter indeveloped ordeveloping countries,especially indeveloping countries.Natural resourcesarethedirect andbasic rawmaterials forany production.2.Natural resourceshaveaclose relationshipwith the policy.Its reservesand utilizationwill affectthepolicy.Due tothe exhaustionofnaturalresources,many countriesbegin payingattention tosustainable development.3.A countrys naturalresources determihe nationalwealth andthe countrys internationalposition inthe worldeconomy aswell asthe politicalinfluential power.Example:张瑞恩的Lets takethe beautifulisland country-Maldives foran exampleof howthenaturalresources acton theeconomicgrowth.When I was searchingfor picturesof Maldives,Iwasshocked bythe astonishingbeauty-the wholepage ofmy puteris blue.There isan equation:99%crystal clearwater+1%snow puresand=100%Maldives.These islandsare describedas astring ofpearls scatteredby Godandthesurrounding bluewater islike agorgeous screenof gem.The westernersare usedto callMaldives“The LostParadise”.Tourism,maritime tradeand fishindustry arethe threepillars of Maldives economy.And its reallya coincidencethat allof thosethree dependon naturalresource.But thistime,we justfocus ontourism.Maldives liestothesouth ofIndia.It consistsof1200islands andMale isthe capital.It islocated nearthe equatorand surroundedby oceanfrom allsides.The uniquelocation bringswarm and wet weatherall yearround and itsaplace wherewinter neveres.The warmandwetweather andthe large-area surroundingofthesea createadvantageous naturalconditions forthe developmentof tourism.In additiontothescarcity ofland whichbaffles theagriculture,tourism seemsto playa pivotalrole inthe economyof Maldives.The governmentforms Maldives as ahigh-consumption andromantic placeand suessfullyoupies thehigh-end tourismmarket.It declaresMaldivesasthe worlds lastEden andthe lastparadise to attract tourists,especially manynewly marriedcouples tospend theirhoneymoons.At the same time,toattractmore visitors,the governmentemphasizes onenvironmental protecting.Up totoday,the wateraround Maldivesis stillvery clear,even thearea nearthe wharfs.The clearand freshenvironment makesthe placemore appealingto visitors.And also,the governmentmakes itmore convenientto enter Maldives.Tourists areallowed toenterMaldivesand stayfor lessthan30days withoutgetting visain advance.The GDP of Maldivesis3.032billion dollars inxx,so supposethe tourismcontributes30percent toit,and thenit willbe nearly1billion dollars.Ther
