What is a terrestrial resource??

Question

I have a paper due today on Terrestrial Resource. I have looked all over in my text and on the internet and cannot find the definition. Before I can do my paper I need to know what the exact definition is of a terrestrial resource. Someone please help. Is soil erosion one??? THanks to all answers in advance.

Answer 1

Terrestrial just means "of or relating to the earth." Like one of the earth's resources.

Answer 2

Try looking up "terrestrial".

Ever wonder what the word "E.T." comes from? Extraterrestrial? It means "outside earth".

Terrain is another word for land. Terrestrial basically means "earth".

What is a resource? Coal. Oil. Minerals. Food. Water. Do you see why "soil erosion" couldn't possibly be a resource?

Answer 3

Terrestrial means of the earth (land). Mining is an example of a resource from the earth.
