Natural Resources for 9th Grade

What are renewable resources?

• Renewable resources cannot be used sustainably.

• Renewable resources are only found in limited quantities.

• Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished over time.

• Renewable resources are resources that deplete over time.

Give an example of a renewable resource.

• Coal

• Geothermal energy

• Solar energy

• Wind power

What are non-renewable resources?

• Natural resources that cannot be easily replenished or take a long time to do so.

• Resources that are not valuable

• Resources that can be easily replenished

• Resources that are abundant in nature

Provide an example of a non-renewable resource.

• Wind power

• Solar energy

• Hydropower

• Fossil fuels

Why is it important to conserve resources?

• It is better to waste resources than conserve them

• Ecological balance is not affected by resource conservation

• It is important to conserve resources to ensure sustainability, reduce environmental impact, and maintain ecological balance.

• Conserving resources has no impact on the environment

Explain the concept of sustainable use of resources.

• Sustainable use of resources means using resources in a way that meets current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

• Sustainable use of resources refers to using resources without considering future generations.

• Sustainable use of resources means using resources in a way that depletes them quickly.

• Sustainable use of resources involves hoarding resources for personal gain.

How can individuals contribute to the conservation of resources?

• By promoting deforestation, overfishing, and air pollution

• By polluting water sources, depleting natural habitats, and supporting unsustainable practices

• By wasting resources, increasing consumption, and ignoring environmental impacts

• By reducing, reusing, and recycling materials, conserving water and energy, supporting sustainable practices, and spreading awareness about the importance of resource conservation.

What are the consequences of overexploitation of natural resources?

• Depletion of resources, loss of biodiversity, ecosystem disruption, environmental and societal impacts

• Sustainable resource management, enhanced biodiversity, ecosystem resilience

• Increase in resource availability, promotion of biodiversity, ecosystem stability

• Decrease in resource quality, increase in biodiversity, environmental balance

Discuss the impact of deforestation on the environment.

• Deforestation leads to increased biodiversity and ecosystem stability

• Deforestation has no impact on climate change

• Deforestation has a negative impact on the environment by causing loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, disruption of water cycle, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change.

• Deforestation has a positive impact on the environment by promoting economic growth

How does pollution affect natural resources?

• Pollution enhances the quality of natural resources

• Pollution has no impact on natural resources

• Pollution can contaminate water, soil, and air, leading to depletion of natural resources such as clean water, fertile soil, and healthy ecosystems.

• Pollution leads to the multiplication of natural resources
