Answer:

d) The lithosphere is broken into sections called plates.

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the movement of the lithosphere and is responsible for such phenomena as volcanoes and earthquakes. The lithosphere is the exterior layer of the earth about a hundred kilometers thick. This layer is broken into large sized plates, about seven medium plates and numerous smaller plates.  

These plates move a couple of inches every year from each other and are the cause of volcanoes and earthquakes.

bogdanovich [222]

Natural resources include fossil fuels, metal, minerals,plants, soil, sunshine, water and wildlife. Every day, we depend on and use natural  resources. They contribute to the economy, by creating energy, providing shelter, producing food and medicine and for spiritual well being.  

By protecting and conserving natural resources, we ensure that they used efficiently today and are available in the future as well. Conversing resources also ensures the health and wellness of the entire system.   The 3 principles to protect resources are:

Reduce- By making environmental friendly choices in products and reducing the amount of we consume. For example, by borrowing from friends and sharing with neighbours instead of buying things that we do not use often. By using energy efficient light bulbs and electronics, we reduce the amount of energy consumed. By using public transport and not drive cars, we reduce the carbon emissions on the road and save fuel. By bringing a bag to store groceries at the supermarket, we reduce the use of plastic bags and air pollution.  

Reuse- Items such as plastic bags , other plastic food containers and coffee tins can be repurposed into storage containers for lunch boxe and storage containers for sewing supplies, tools, machine parts and gardening seeds. Torn clothes can also be used as rags or sewed to become blankets.Broken machines parts can be salvage to be used for repairing other items.  

Recycle: Place rubbish in the right recycling bins so that items like paper bags, soda cans and plastic bottles can be recycled in facilities. Opt to purchase toilet paper, tissue paper and writing paper made from recycled papers too.  

Conserving and protecting natural resources is important so that the climate will protected and resources will be available for the future generation.
