Why is deforestation happening in the Amazon? Hurryy

Overview: Choose two categories of natural resources (i.e., plants, animals, soil, minerals, air, water, or energy sources). The

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

1. Natural resources are those things which are found on the Earth without human exertion and they are of two kinds which are as per the following:

Renewable natural resources :

It is a sort of natural resource which can be utilized over and over and they are not going to end sometime in the not so distant future, for instance, wind, sunlight based vitality, water, plants, etc.

Non-renewable natural resource :

It is a sort of natural resources which are present in very limited quantity and it will end on someday, for example, Coal, petroleum, minerals, etc.

2. Human beings are mostly depended on natural resources and it makes their life easy and comfortable. Let's see its usages one by one.

Historical: Historically, we depended on the renewable natural resources, for example, plants, animals, water and our life started and ended with this form of natural resources when we were not technically advanced.

Present: Presently, we are more technologically advanced and using various technologies to lead our life and we are using fossil fuels at a greater extent and within 30 to 50 years this non-renewable source is going to end and we need to choose our alternative ways also.

Future potential: The way non-renewable natural resources are declining by our present use, we need to switch to renewable sources which are long lasting as well as eco-friendly and that's why the renewable natural sources would be in more demand in near future.

3. These two categories are inter-related because they both provide the energy requirements of the present time, as well as non-renewable natural resources, are formed by the help of renewable sources since the long geological process.

4. we are vastly using now-renewable sources like petroleum, coal and renewable natural sources like solar energy, wind for our need for energy requirements

I was overwhelmed with gratuitous advice. Well-meaning yet ignorant friends thrust their opinions into unwilling ears. The major

ra1l [238]

Question A

Correct option is (iii) sought after, as it is indicated in the passage that "I was overwhelmed with gratuitous advice". Gratuitous means not required, or not necessary. Hence the author was not asking for advice, it was not sought after

Question B

Correct option is (iv) when he was on the steamer. It is indicated at the end of the passage that "The fellow passengers in the steamer began to advise us". After reading the statement, "I should want them after leaving Aden", you might feel that the correct option could be (ii) when he was in Aden, but the passage doesn't give enough information to confirm that the advice was give at the point when he was in Aden

Question C

The correct option is (iii) meat-eating would keep him healthy. It is indicated in the passage that "The majority of them said I couldn't do without meat in the cold climate. I would catch consumption.". Hence, the meat was supposed to keep him healthy and not catch consumption.

Question D

The correct option is (iv) he had promised his mother he would not do so. It is indicated in the passage that "My mother, before consenting to my departure, had exacted a promise from me not to take meat. So, I was bound not to take it, if only for the sake of the promise.".

How would you reply to someone who argues that we should not worry about the effects that human activities have on natural syste

svp [43]

Answer:

It is partially true, "life finds a way" but human activities have already made some irreversible damage to the world.

Explanation:

In a Hypotethic scenario in which Humans are extinct nature Will eventually, start succession processes in urban areas and after many years depending on the erosional resistance of the materials nature will erase many of the buildings around the world ( 500 years for metal). Water bodies will eventually decontaminate trough the water cycle and be filled with organisms, contamination due to petrol can also be reverted through natural chemical processes with oxygen.

But human activities like mining are irreversible, for the earth, it is impossible to recover its shape, the materials already extracted and soil nutrients that ran out due to the use of chemicals.

The acceleration of the climate change due to human activities is for sure the biggest wound we have made to the world, this is an irreversible acceleration to a natural process.
