FLOW RESOURCES VERSUS STOCK RESOURCES


Meaning of FLOW RESOURCES VERSUS STOCK RESOURCES in English

Flow resources are resources that are not permanently expendable under usual circumstances; they are resources which are replaced.

Stock resources can be permanently expended and whose quantity is usually expressed in absolute amounts rather than in rates. Examples are coal and petroleum deposits.
