What factors determine the location of natural resources on the planet.

Do not forget that natural resources are not only about minerals. Mineral deposits are formed by tectonics and volcanism, and do not depend on man in any way. But there are also resources such as forests, wildlife, clean water, recreational resources and others. Their location depends primarily on the climate and ecology, but also on the person as well: we can both waste and spoil these resources, and increase them and bring them to places where they did not exist before.
