Exploring Natural Resources: Sustainability and Natural Resources

The video discusses the dynamics of grazing, illustrating how cows grazing at a slower rate than grass regrowth maintain balance. It explores the consequences of overgrazing, leading to unsustainability. The concept of resource sustainability is introduced, emphasizing the need to use natural resources wisely to avoid long-term damage. Key factors in achieving sustainability include managing overpopulation, resource distribution, and pollution control.

What is the consequence of having too many cows grazing in a meadow?

• The grass grows faster.

• The cows produce more milk.

• The cows become healthier.

• The grass becomes overgrazed.

What does an unsustainable situation refer to?

• A situation where resources are used efficiently.

• A situation where resources are overconsumed.

• A situation where resources are abundant.

• A situation where resources are underutilized.

What is the goal of resource sustainability?

• To increase the consumption of resources.

• To ensure resources are not overused or damaged long-term.

• To eliminate the use of natural resources.

• To use resources as quickly as possible.

Which of the following is NOT a factor in achieving sustainability?

• Increasing pollution

• Overpopulation management

• Resource overconsumption

• Resource distribution

What is one of the challenges in reaching sustainability?

• Increasing resource consumption

• Ignoring pollution control

• Managing resource distribution

• Reducing the use of technology
