Uneven Distribution of Resources

What are non-renewable resources?

• Resources that can be replenished within a human timescale.

• Resources that cannot be replenished within a human timescale, such as fossil fuels and minerals.

• Resources that are always available in abundance.

• Resources that are derived from renewable sources.

How does freshwater contribute to land formation?

• By evaporating and creating clouds

• By flowing down mountains and collecting in valleys, forming ponds, lakes, and rivers.

• By eroding rocks and creating caves

• By freezing and forming glaciers that reshape the land.

What happens to supply when demand increases?

• Supply increases and the cost decreases.

• Supply remains unchanged.

• Supply decreases and the cost typically increases.

• Supply increases and the cost typically increases.

What is the impact of uneven resource distribution?

• It leads to equal wealth distribution across regions.

• It can result in disparities in wealth, access to services, and quality of life among different regions.

• It has no significant impact on society.

• It improves overall quality of life for all regions.

What is the water cycle?

• The water cycle is the continuous process by which water evaporates, condenses, and precipitates, recycling freshwater in the environment.

• The water cycle is a method of storing water in underground reservoirs.

• The water cycle refers to the process of water being filtered and purified by plants.

• The water cycle is the process of water being transported from one ocean to another.

What is resource distribution?

• Resource distribution refers to how resources are spread out or allocated across different areas or populations.

• Resource distribution is the process of collecting resources in a single location.

• Resource distribution involves the management of human resources in an organization.

• Resource distribution is the allocation of resources based on personal preferences.

Why is freshwater considered renewable?

• Because it is abundant and easily accessible.

• Because the water cycle continuously recycles water through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

• Because it is always clean and safe to drink.

• Because it can be artificially created in laboratories.

What are fossil fuels?

• Natural substances formed from the remains of dead organic materials over millions of years, including coal, oil, and natural gas.

• Renewable energy sources derived from sunlight and wind.

• Minerals extracted from the earth's crust used for construction.

• Synthetic materials created in laboratories for industrial use.

What are renewable resources?

• Natural resources that can be replenished naturally over time, such as solar energy, wind energy, and freshwater.

• Resources that are finite and cannot be replenished, like fossil fuels.

• Man-made resources that are used to generate energy, such as nuclear power.

• Resources that are only available in certain geographical locations, like oil and gas.

What is the relationship between supply and demand?

• It determines the market price and quantity of goods sold.

• It only affects the quantity of goods sold.

• It has no impact on market prices.

• It is only relevant in a monopoly market.
