Geological resources refer to natural materials found in the Earth's crust that can be used for various purposes. These include minerals, metals, fossil fuels, and groundwater. Common examples are coal, oil, natural gas, and limestone, which are essential for energy production, construction, and manufacturing. The extraction and use of geological resources play a crucial role in the economy and development of societies. Sustainable management of these resources is important to minimize environmental impact and ensure that future generations can also benefit from them. Proper practices help balance economic growth with ecological preservation.
