NATURAL RESOURCES
RENEWABLE RESOURCES
TYPES
LIVING THINGS
WATER
SUNLIGHT
AIR
FOREST
IMPORTANCE
Energy that emits no or low greenhouse gases
(GOOD FOR CLIMATE)
Energy that emits no or low air pollutants
(GOOD FOR HEALTH)
It provides mostly electricity but it can reduce energy imports
It can reduce fossil fuels use
Some are low cost such as solar energy and windmills to generate electricity
Even dam (water energy) is expensive to build, it provides jobs to people such as hydroelectric plant technicians
To sustain people's lives as source of energy
(LIVING THINGS ARE ALSO FOODS)
Woods from trees are used for producing papers and construction industries
THREATS
Tropical rainforest
experience heavy
deforestation
due to lumbering for construction.
Causes forest fragmentation for animals to survive
Reduce the amount of oxygen when trees are less to clean the air.
NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES
TYPES
PETROLEUM
ROCKS
COAL
NATURAL GAS
MINERALS
FOSSIL FUEL
SOIL
IMPORTANCE
Source of energy to 70% of industrial processes and production
Production of oils such as gasoline (fuel)
for engines
Resource to generate electricity that is reliable more than renewable resources
THREATS
Burning of oil, coal and natural gases
increase level of CO2
High CO2 leads to high temperature (GLOBAL WARMING)
ALTERNATIVE METHODS TO CONSERVE NATURAL RESOURCES
Composting
Turn off lights when not used
Practicing carpool
Reuse, Reduce Recycle
Harvest rainwater
Avoid water wastage
Strip cropping
