Q1
What are natural resources?
ANSWER
Natural Resources
Materials from nature useful for living beings — not made by humans. Examples: Air, water, sunlight, soil, minerals, forests, fossil fuels.
Q2
Differentiate renewable and non-renewable resources.
ANSWER
| Feature | Renewable | Non-Renewable |
|---|
| Definition | Can be replenished naturally | Limited; can\'t be replaced quickly |
| Availability | Unlimited / regenerated | Will eventually run out |
| Examples | Sunlight, wind, water, forests | Coal, petroleum, natural gas |
| Pollution | Generally clean | Cause pollution |
| Time to form | Short | Millions of years |
Q3
Composition of air?
ANSWER
| Gas | Percentage |
|---|
| Nitrogen | ~78% |
| Oxygen | ~21% |
| Carbon dioxide | ~0.04% |
| Other gases + water vapour + dust | ~1% |
Q4
Why conserve water?
ANSWER
Only ~3% of Earth\'s water is fresh, most locked in ice caps. We must conserve:
- Fix leaking taps
- Use bucket instead of hose
- Rainwater harvesting
- Don\'t waste while brushing teeth
Q5
What are fossil fuels?
ANSWER
Fuels formed from remains of dead plants/animals buried underground over millions of years. Examples: Coal, petroleum, natural gas. They are non-renewable.
Q6
Why is the Sun the ultimate source of energy?
ANSWER
- Plants use sunlight for photosynthesis
- Animals get energy by eating plants/other animals
- Fossil fuels formed from ancient organisms that got energy from Sun
- Wind & water cycle driven by Sun\'s heat
Q7
How is soil formed?
ANSWER
- Physical weathering: Rocks break from temperature changes, wind, water
- Chemical weathering: Rain dissolves rock parts
- Biological weathering: Plant roots break rocks
Broken rock + humus (decayed matter) = soil.
Q8
Ways to conserve natural resources?
ANSWER
- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- Save water & electricity
- Plant trees
- Use renewable energy (solar, wind)
- Avoid pollution
- Use public transport
