a) Potential and actual resources 

āϏāĻŽ্āĻ­াā§ą্āϝ āφ⧰ু āĻĒ্ā§°āĻ•ৃāϤ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāĻĻ 

 Ans :-  The different between potential resources and actual resources are - 

  āϏাāĻŽ্āĻ­াāĻŦ্āϝ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāĻĻ āφ⧰ু āĻĒ্ā§°āĻ•ৃāϤ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāĻĻā§° āĻŽাāϜ⧰ āĻĒৃāĻĨāĻ•āĻšৈāĻ›ে -

i) Potential resources - potential resources are those whose entire quantity may not be known and these are not being used at present. These resources could be used in the future. the level of technology we have at present may not b e advanced enough to easily utilize these resources.     

āϏাāĻŽ্āĻ­াāĻŦ্āϝ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāĻĻ - āϏাāĻŽ্āĻ­াāĻŦ্āϝ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāĻĻāĻšৈāĻ›ে āϏেāχāĻŦোā§° āϝাā§° āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒূā§°্āĻŖ āĻĒā§°িāĻŽাāĻŖ āϜāύা āύাāϝাāĻŦ āĻĒাā§°ে āφ⧰ু āĻāχāĻŦোā§° āĻŦā§°্āϤāĻŽাāύ āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āϕ⧰া āĻšোā§ąা āύাāχ। āĻāχ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāĻĻāĻŦোā§° āĻ­ā§ąিāώ্āϝāϤে āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āϕ⧰িāĻŦ āĻĒাā§°ি। āĻŦā§°্āϤāĻŽাāύ āφāĻŽাā§° āĻ“āϚ⧰āϤ āĻĨāĻ•া āĻĒ্ā§°āϝুāĻ•্āϤিā§° āϏ্āϤ⧰āĻāχ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāĻĻāĻŦোā§° āϏāĻšāϜে āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āϕ⧰িāĻŦāϞৈ āĻĒā§°্āϝাāĻĒ্āϤ āωāύ্āύāϤ āύāĻš'āĻŦ āĻĒাā§°ে। 

ii) Actual resources - actual resources are those resources whose quantity is known. these resources are being used in the present. The rich deposits of coal in Ruhr regions of Germany and the petroleum in the west Asia, the dark soils of the deccan plateau in Maharashtra are all actual resources.  

āĻĒ্ā§°āĻ•ৃāϤ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāĻĻ - āĻĒ্ā§°āĻ•ৃāϤ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāĻĻ āĻšৈāĻ›ে āϏেāχ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāĻĻ āϝাā§° āĻĒā§°িāĻŽাāĻŖ āϜāύা āϝাāϝ়। āĻāχ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāĻĻāĻŦোā§° āĻŦā§°্āϤāĻŽাāύāϤ āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āϕ⧰া āĻšৈāĻ›ে। āϜাā§°্āĻŽাāύীā§° ā§°ুāĻšā§° āĻ…āĻž্āϚāϞāϤ āĻ•āϝ়āϞাā§° āϏāĻŽৃāĻĻ্āϧ āϜāĻŽা āφ⧰ু āĻĒāĻļ্āϚিāĻŽ āĻāĻ›িāϝ়াā§° āĻĒেāϟ্ā§°'āϞিāϝ়াāĻŽ, āĻŽāĻšাā§°াāώ্āϟ্ā§°ā§° āĻĄেāĻ•্āĻ•াāύ āĻŽাāϞāĻ­ূāĻŽিā§° āĻ…āύ্āϧāĻ•াā§° āĻŽাāϟি āϏāĻ•āϞোāĻŦোā§° āĻĒ্ā§°āĻ•ৃāϤ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāĻĻ।
