How do renewable resources differ from non-renewable resources?

• Renewable resources are more expensive than non-renewable resources

• Renewable resources can be replenished naturally and are not depleted with use, while non-renewable resources cannot be easily replenished and are depleted with use.

• Renewable resources are harmful to the environment, while non-renewable resources are not

• Renewable resources can only be used once, while non-renewable resources can be used multiple times

Define natural resources and provide examples.

What are the advantages of using renewable energy sources?

• Renewable energy sources increase pollution

• Renewable energy sources are sustainable, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and decrease dependence on fossil fuels.

• Renewable energy sources are unreliable and inconsistent

• Renewable energy sources are expensive and unaffordable

How does agriculture impact natural resources?

• Agriculture helps in preserving water sources

• Agriculture leads to increased biodiversity

• Agriculture can lead to deforestation, water depletion, and soil erosion.

• Agriculture has no impact on natural resources

Explain the environmental impact of non-renewable resources.

• Non-renewable resources reduce pollution and promote clean air

• Non-renewable resources have a negative impact on the environment due to pollution and habitat destruction.

• Non-renewable resources have no impact on the environment

• Non-renewable resources help in preserving natural habitats

Discuss the importance of conserving natural resources.

• Conserving natural resources is not important as they are infinite and will never run out.

• It is not important to conserve natural resources as they can easily be replaced by technology and human innovation.

• The importance of conserving natural resources is overrated and not necessary for the environment.

• Conserving natural resources is important to maintain ecological balance, ensure sustainability, and preserve biodiversity.
