DIFFERENT NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENERGIES
NATURAL RESOURCES
-Are raw materials found on and below the earth's surface, they are naturally occurring materials
formed without any human intervention.
TYPES OF NATURAL RESOURCES
RENEWABLE RESOURCES - Renewable resources are natural materials or energy sources that can be
replenished naturally over time.
Examples of Renewable Resources
Sun
Plants
Animals
Water
NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES- Non-renewable resources are natural resources that cannot be
replaced on a human timescale. Once they are depleted, they are gone for millions of years.
Examples of Non-Renewable Resources
Minerals
Soil
Coal
Natural Gas
ENERGIES
-The ability to do work or heat objects. It is a scalar physical quantity, which means it has magnitude, but no
direction.
2. TYPES OF ENERGIES

3. AIR POLLUTION & CLIMATE CHANGE
SO WHAT IS AIR POLLUTION?
Air pollution is contamination of the indoor or outdoor environment by any chemical, physical or biological
agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere. Household combustion devices, motor
vehicles, industrial facilities and forest fires are common sources of air pollution. From smog hanging over cities
to smoke inside the home, air pollution poses a major threat to health and climate.
AIR POLLUTION CAUSE:
They can be gases, such as hydrogen chloride, benzene and toluene or compounds and metals such as asbestos,
cadmium, mercury and chromium.
AIR POLLUTION EFFECTS:
Human- Ambient (outdoor) air pollution in both cities and rural areas is causing fine particulate matter which
result in strokes, heart diseases, lung cancer, acute and chronic respiratory diseases.
Animals- weak immune system – animals that breathe in polluted air are more vulnerable to various illnesses
and infectious diseases. allergies, infections, skin irritations – just like humans, animals are likely to suffer from
all kinds of allergies and skin issues caused by smog.
Environment- Air pollution can damage crops and trees in a variety of ways. Ground-level ozone can lead to
reductions in agricultural crop and commercial forest yields, reduced growth and survivability of tree seedlings,
and increased plant susceptibility to disease, pests and other environmental stresses (such as harsh weather).
PREVENTION OF AIR POLLUTION:
• Drive your car less
• Keep your car in good repair
• Turn off your engine
• Don't burn your garbage
• Plant and care for trees
• Switch to electric or hand-powered lawn equipment
• Use less energy
CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due
to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the
main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth,
trapping the sun’s heat and raising temperatures.
4. CAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE:
The main greenhouse gases that are causing climate change include carbon dioxide and methane. These come
from using gasoline for driving a car or coal for heating a building, for example. Clearing land and cutting down
forests can also release carbon dioxide.
Agriculture, oil and gas operations are major sources of methane emissions. Energy, industry, transport,
buildings, agriculture and land use are among the main sectors causing greenhouse gases.
CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECTS
Humans- The impacts of climate change include warming temperatures, changes in precipitation, increases in
the frequency or intensity of some extreme weather events, and rising sea levels. These impacts threaten our
health by affecting the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the weather we experience.
Animals- Some species will struggle to find nutritious enough food to fit their existing gut biomes. Pollinators,
for example, must feed from flowers that are blooming earlier in the year. Other animals may find their habitats
are no longer able to support their biology.
Environment- Climate change affects the environment in many different ways, including rising temperatures,
sea level rise, drought, flooding, and more. These events affect things that we depend upon and value, like
water, energy, transportation, wildlife, agriculture, ecosystems, and human health.
PREVENTION OF CLIMATE CHANGE:
• Renewable energy.
• Sustainable transportation.
• Sustainable buildings.
• Better forestry management and sustainable agriculture.
• Conservation-based solutions.
• Industrial solutions.
5. WATER USE & POLLUTION
Water, naturally occurring in solid, liquid, and gas states, falls as precipitation and helps regulate Earth’s
temperature, affecting various ecosystems and environments.
What is WATER?
Water (H2O) is an odourless, tasteless, and colourless liquid formed by a combination of two atoms (hydrogen
and oxygen)
Pure water has a neutral pH of 7
The uses of water include the following
1. Domestic Use of Water -water used for indoor and outdoor household purposes
2. Uses of Water in Agriculture- Agriculture requires huge quantities of water for growing fresh produce as
well as to sustain livestock.
3. Industrial Uses of Water-All industrial activity requires water to produce its end products or to support
production activities.-
4. Medicinal Uses of Water-Water is use for medicines in the field of hemodialysis and for dental
procedures and for washing of surgical tools.
10 Uses Of Water In Our Daily Life
Some important use of water includes in domestic, commercial, industrial as well as medicinal uses. Other
important use of water are given below.
1. Drinking Water
2. Hygiene and Sanitation
3. Industrial Processes
4. Energy Production
5. Transportation and Recreation
6. Ecosystem Support
7. Cooking and Food Preparation
8. Waste Disposal
9. Firefighting Process
10. Recreation And Aesthetics
CONSERVATION OF WATER
1. WATER YOUR YARD AND OUTDOOR PLANTS EARLY OR LATE IN THE DAY TO REDUCE EVAPORATION.
2. TAKE SHORTER SHOWERS FIVE MINUTES OR LESS IS BEST
3. TURN OFF THE WATER WHILE SOAPING HANDS AND BRUSHING TEETH.
4. TURN OFF THE SINK FAUCET WHILE SCRUBBING DISHES AND POTS.
5. USE A BROOM, NOT A HOSE, TO CLEAN DRIVEWAYS AND WALKWAYS.
6. COLLECT RAIN WATER TO BE USED AT HOME
6. What is POLLUTION?
1. Pollution is the introduction of substances or energy (such as light or heat) into the natural environment
in amounts or concentrations that can be harmful for humans, animals, and plants.
2. Pollution can reduce the health of ecosystems by harming or even causing death to the living things that
call those ecosystems home. The negative effects of pollution can range in severity depending on what
the pollutant is, the characteristics of the pollutant, and where the pollutant is located.
3. Pollution is most often composed of synthetic, or human-made substances (like plastic, for example),
although even natural substances like sediment, nutrients, and carbon dioxide can become pollutants
when they exceed a a a particular level. If natural substances exceed healthy levels, however, it is very
likely the result of human activities.
4. The way in which pollution is categorized, studied, and managed depends on what Earth system is
affected. Parts of Earth’s systems that can be affected by pollution include land, waterways (such as
ground-water, rivers, lakes, bays, and oceans), air, and climate.
What are the different types of pollution
Water, air, and land pollution are three major categories of pollution.
Land pollution – can be anything from litter on the streets to spilled chemicals, such as gasoline in a gas station
parking lot. Another common source of land pollution is solid waste, such asHousehold garbage. Land pollution
can become water or air pollution
Air Pollution- is a mixture of gases and solid particles in the air. Air pollution comes from the exhaust that cars
and trucks produce when. They burn gasoline for fuel, chemicals from factories, dust, mold, smog, and other
sources. Air pollution can reach harmful concentrations both outside and indoors.
Water pollution- can occur when pollutants are introduced into ground-water, rivers, lakes, ponds, and oceans.
Sources of water pollution include synthetic materials like plastics, chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers, and
natural materials like nutrients and sediments. These pollutants often, accumulate or build up as they flow
downstream.
PREVENTION POLLUTION
1. MINIMIZE VEHICLE USE
2. ENERGY CONSERVATION
3. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
4. PLANT TREES AND PLANTS
5. WATER CONSERVATION
7. ECONOMIC, POLICY, LIVING SUSTAINABILITY
ECONOMIC- is a social science that focuses on the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and
services. The study of economics is primarily concerned with analyzing the choices that individuals, businesses,
governments, and nations make to allocate limited resources.
POLICY - Is a set of ideas or plans that is used as a basis for making decisions, especially in politics, economics, or
business.
LIVING SUSTAINABILITY - reduce an individual's or society's we of the Earth's natural resources and personal
resources. It is an attempt to reduce this dependence on natural resources Sustainable living means to make a
lesser negative impact on the envimament.
EXAMPLES
ECONOMIC- Economic are stock trading, the sale of fresh produce or cars, and the delivery of a service like
healthcare or education.
POLICY- A Policy in Bamban, Tarlac, is the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act (IPRA) implementation, which protects
the rights and territories of the Aeta communities living in the area.
LIVING SUSTAINABILITY- Example of living sustainably is practicing zero-waste habits, such as reducing, reusing,
and recycling materials to minimize waste going to landfills.
TYPES
ECONOMICS
Macroeconomics- focuses on the performance of economies changes in economic output, inflation, interest and
foreign exchange rates, and the balance of payments.
Microeconomics- focuses on the study of individual markets, sectors, or industries as opposed to the economy
as a whole, which is studied in macroeconomics.
POLICY
Environmental Policy - outlines your organisation's commitment to reduce its impact on the environment, and
provides a framework for setting objectives and targets to improve your environmental performance.
Technology Policy- is concerned with the adoption and use of techniques, innovation, and diffusion of
techniques.
