what is actual and potential resources ? what is ubiquitous and localised ?

ACTUAL RESOURCES

Actual resources are also known as developed resources, because these are the resources which
are ready to be used. These are well assessed for their quality and quantity. Actual resources are
being used in the present.

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 resources which are yet to be
explored and which can only be assessed for their use are called potential resources.

UBIQUITOUS RESOURCES

Ubiquitous resources are those resources which are found everywhere. Land ,water, air etc are
ubiquitous resources.

LOCALISED RESOURCES

Resources found only in certain places are called localised resources.Copper, bauxite,gold etc are
localised resources.
