Hi there! I am a freelance writer who lives and breaths content on a daily basis. I consider myself to be a living paradox. An old soul trapped in a modern world. A self-proclaimed hopeless romantic and a professional over-thinker. I can't start anything unless I have my coffee. Writing has been and always will be my way of calming the storms in my heart and mind.

Every nation in the world has its own natural resources that the citizens use or trade with other nations. This is part of the world’s economic system and the trade industry that makes every necessity available to all people around the globe. Natural resources can be in many forms and come from many origins. The more the country has, the richer they are and this is how economies are built.

We know a lot of common natural resources that we also use day to day, and some of them may even be imported from other nations.

Some of the most common are gas, rice, corn and spices which we use on a daily frequency.

Natural Resources and the Earth

Mother Earth has blessed us with so many natural resources that can get us by. Our ancient forefathers did not have the technology or processes that we have today, but they still survived with the help of natural resources that are accessible to them.

Today, we have natural resources that have been given a touch of science and technology for reasons such as:

  • To have enough for all
  • Longer expiration dates
  • More convenient use of resources

In terms of trading and economy, the nation with the richest resources also becomes successful in international trades. This means more business for the citizens and higher value of money.

Apart from being a vast nation in terms of area and considered as one of the most powerful nations in the world, Russia is also known to have the widest and largest deposit of natural resources in them.

The freezing temperature and the vast untouched landscape is actually home to a large reservoir of natural resources.

Among the richest resources of Russia is the coal, which is the second largest coal deposit in the world. There are also vast reservoirs, largest among the whole world, of timber and gold. Russia is known to have the second largest deposit of earth minerals within its scope.

Gas is a large natural resource found in this great nation. Approximately 89% of the nation’s natural resources are deposited from coal and timber, and the rest are gold, copper, and natural gases.

Timber is widely used for many purposes. One, of course, is through construction and building materials. Gold is an essential factor and has great value. Copper and other gases are used in many ways.

Economic Worth

Because of the wide variety and vast deposits of natural resources in Russia, it sits in the highest rank of being the richest country in the world in natural resources.

With the total amount of natural resources value at $75.5 trillion, Russia is the top of the list.

What Do I Think

Natural resources are Mother Nature’s way to give us sustenance to live and survive. Although we have evolved into a generation where we mostly depend on technology to get the best out of these resources, the origin should not be forgotten.

These natural resources are our treasures. Therefore, as treasures, we should take good care of them and make sure they are replenished.
