What is the definition of renewable resources?
Resources that can be replenished naturally over time
Resources that are finite and cannot be replenished
Resources that are man-made and synthetic
Resources that are only available in certain regions
Which of the following is an example of a renewable resource?

What is the definition of non-renewable resources?
Non-renewable resources are natural resources that cannot be replenished or regenerated within a human timescale, such as fossil fuels and minerals.
Non-renewable resources are resources that can be easily replaced or regenerated naturally.
Non-renewable resources are resources that are always available in unlimited quantities.
Non-renewable resources are resources that are man-made and can be recycled indefinitely.
List two examples of non-renewable resources.
Coal and oil
Wind and solar
Water and air
Geothermal and biomass
What are the problems associated with non-renewable resources?
They are abundant and sustainable.
They cause environmental pollution and depletion.
They are renewable and eco-friendly.
They have no impact on the environment.
What is the definition of 'Reduce' in the context of the 3 R's?
Minimize waste by using fewer resources
Recycle materials to create new products
Reuse items instead of discarding them
Increase consumption to boost economy
Which of the following is a way to reduce waste?
Refill plastic bottles
Take shorter showers
Use food jars for storage
Donate old clothes
What is the definition of 'Reuse' in the context of the 3 R's?
Reuse refers to the practice of using an item more than once in its original form, rather than disposing of it after a single use. In the context of the 3 R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), it emphasizes the importance of finding ways to use products again to minimize waste.
Reuse means recycling materials to create new products.
Reuse involves reducing the amount of waste produced by using fewer resources.
Reuse is the process of breaking down products to their raw materials for new manufacturing.
Reusing items is important because it helps to:
Reduce waste and conserve resources
Increase waste and deplete resources
Have no impact on the environment
Make items more expensive
What is the definition of recycling?
Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects.
Recycling is the process of burning waste materials to generate energy.
Recycling is the process of burying waste materials in landfills.
Recycling is the process of disposing of waste materials in the ocean.
What materials can be recycled?
Glass, paper, and plastic
Wood and metal
Only plastic
None of the above
Recycling is important because it helps to:
Reduce waste and conserve natural resources
Increase pollution
Deplete natural resources
Increase waste production
What is porosity in rocks?
The measure of tiny holes or spaces in a material
The density of the rock
The color of the rock
The weight of the rock
What does permeability in rocks refer to?
The ability of a rock to allow fluids to pass through it
The color of the rock
The hardness of the rock
The age of the rock
How is density defined in the context of rocks?
How tightly packed the particles of the rock are.
The color of the rock
The age of the rock
The temperature of the rock
What is the significance of hardness in rocks?
It determines the rock's resistance to scratching and abrasion.
It indicates the rock's color.
It shows the rock's age.
It reveals the rock's weight.
The texture of rocks is determined by:
the size, shape, feel, and arrangement of mineral grains within the rock
the color of the rock
the weight of the rock
the age of the rock
What resources can rocks store?
Water and minerals
Electricity and gas
Wind and solar energy
None of the above
Sedimentary rocks are formed from:

oil
water
coal
sand
Igneous rocks are formed when ________ or lava cools or hardens.
