Natural Resources Quiz

What are renewable resources? Provide an example.

• Coal, oil, and natural gas

• Plastic, metal, and glass

• Nuclear energy, geothermal, and biomass

• Sunlight, wind, and water

Explain the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources.

• Renewable resources are always man-made, while non-renewable resources are naturally occurring.

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

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

• Renewable resources are more expensive than non-renewable resources.

Name three fossil fuels and explain how they are formed.

• Three fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas.

• Uranium, thorium, and plutonium

• Wind, solar, and hydroelectric

• Diamond, platinum, and silver

What are mineral resources? Give an example of a mineral resource.

• Air

• Plastic

• Gold

• Water

How do human activities impact water resources?

• Increase in pollution, decrease in overuse, and increase in natural habitat preservation

• Decrease in population, increase in rainfall, and decrease in industrial activities

• Conservation, preservation, and restoration of natural habitats

• Pollution, overuse, and destruction of natural habitats

Why are forests considered important natural resources?

• Forests only provide a source of pollution

• Forests are not important natural resources

• Forests have no impact on wildlife or climate

• Forests provide habitat for wildlife, help regulate the climate, and offer a source of timber and other forest products.

List three examples of renewable resources.

• Plastic, metal, and glass

• Nuclear energy, geothermal energy, and biomass

• Coal, oil, and natural gas

• Solar energy, wind energy, and hydroelectric power

What are the environmental impacts of using non-renewable resources?

• Non-renewable resources have no impact on the environment

• Using non-renewable resources helps to reduce pollution

• Non-renewable resources have a positive impact on climate change

• Non-renewable resources contribute to air and water pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change.

Explain the concept of water conservation and why it is important.

• Water conservation is important only for certain regions, not for the entire planet.

• Water conservation is important to ensure a sustainable supply for future generations and to protect the environment.

• Water conservation is not important because there is an unlimited supply of water on Earth.

• Water conservation is important to save money on water bills, but it doesn't have any impact on the environment.

How can we sustainably manage forest resources for future generations?

• By ignoring sustainable management practices and over-harvesting

• By increasing deforestation and clear-cutting

• By allowing unrestricted logging and forest destruction

• By implementing sustainable forest management practices such as reforestation, reducing deforestation, and promoting responsible logging.
