Expert Solution
Step 1 - Introduction

Resources are considered as any valuable thing available on the Earth that can add value to life. The natural resources that are essential for human beings are water, soil, land, air, forest, etc.

As the population increases exponentially, the need for resources also increases and thereby initiates competition among individuals. The population distribution in an area depends on the availability of resources in that area.
