The question is asking us to complete the following sentence: "The resources that are provided by Earth are known as _______ resources. These resources are for example oil, coal and wind power - they are provided by the Earth. We call those resources "natural" resources - the correct option is A. Natural resources can be both renewable (such as wind) and non-renewable, such as coild and oil (they take too long to be renewed so if we use them up, we won't have any more).

Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water.
Answer:
The HDI (Human Development Index) considers three main dimensions to evaluate the development of a country:
1. Long and healthy life of its citizens
2. Education.
3. Standard of living.
Explanation:
1. Long and healthy life
The long and healthy life dimension is measured by life expectancy at birth. The life expectancy at birth is a statistical measure that an average individual is expected to live based on certain demographic factors such as the year of birth and current age.
2. Education
This is a second dimension in the HDI. The indicators of education are the expected years of schooling and the mean years of schooling. According to the UN, the average maximum years of schooling is 18 years, while the mean maximum years of schooling is 15 years.
3. Standard of living
The standard of living is usually measured by the gross national income (GNI) per capita. The GNI indicates the total domestic and foreign output created by the residents of a certain country.
Answer:
From first to last, step wise is given below-
Tropical disturbance < Topical depression < Tropical storm < Wind speed above 74 miles per hour
Explanation:
In order to form a hurricane, at first, the disturbances occur in the tropical region, which is characterized by the occurrence of heavy storm activity over a large area extending 100 miles, that exist for about 24 hours.
Then, with the more favorable conditions, the disturbances alter into stronger storms that spin forming a low-pressure center, and this condition refers to the tropical depression. The required amount of humidity is present in both the upper and lower portion of the atmosphere.
The pressure within the center of the tropical depression eventually gets down, and the air flows inward, thereby forming more stronger winds. With more decreasing pressure, the wind speed drastically increases. Thus, the storm becomes stronger.
When the speed of the wind becomes 74 mph or exceeds, then this type of storm is called a hurricane.
