  3. Magnesium

  4. Coal

Show answer
Correct Option: D

Which one of the following is a renewable source of energy?

commercial applications water and air and their importance natural resources and their types promotion of renewable resources protecting our environment

  1. Natural gas

  2. Geothermal energy

  3. Diesel

  4. Timber

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Geothermal energy is the heat energy which is obtained from the interior of the Earth. However, this energy is not equally available everywhere and is concentrated in some parts of the world such as natural geysers. This is a natural and renewable source of energy that can be used for heating processes in various activities.

Thus, the correct answer is option B. 

Which of the following is non-renewable resource?

evs - i rules are for everyone natural resources and their types promotion of renewable resources protecting our environment sustainability of natural resources adaptations - mangrove swamps, fast flowing rivers and treetops halophiles

  1. Forest

  2. Coal deposit

  3. Water

  4. Wild life

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Fossil fuels are nonrenewable conventional energy resources found inside the earth's crust where they have been formed through heat and compression on forests and other organic matter buried underneath due to earthquakes, landslides, lava etc. Fossil fuels can be solid, e.g., coal; liquid, e.g., petroleum; or gaseous, e.g., natural gas.

Non-renewable source is

  1. Water and gas

  2. Plant and coke

  3. Coal and mineral substances

  4. Energy and water

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Inexhaustible resource is a natural resource, which is found in such abundance, that it is unlikely to diminish or get exhausted. E.g., air, solar energy, wind power, rainfall etc.
Exhaustible resource is a natural resource, which is likely to diminish and get exhausted due to continuous use or exploitation. E.g., minerals, fossil fuels, forests etc. Exhaustible resources are of two types renewable and non-renewable.
Renewable exhaustible resource is a natural resource, which gets replenished, recycled or reproduced. E.g., forests, water, agriculture etc.
Non-Renewable exhaustible resource is a natural resource, which is likely to get exhausted with use. E.g., fossil fuels like petroleum, minerals and metals, Coal.

Water is a..................resource.

  1. Non-degradable, non maintainable

  2. Degradable, maintainable

  3. Renewable

  4. Non-renewable

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Natural Resources or Earth resources are those living and non living components of atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere, which can be drawn for supporting life or have potential of being used by humans for their requirements of food, fodder, shelter, clothing, articles of use and recreation.

Which of the following is a non - renewable energy source?

evs - i rules are for everyone natural resources and their types promotion of renewable resources protecting our environment sustainability of natural resources adaptations - mangrove swamps, fast flowing rivers and treetops halophiles

  1. Hydropower

  2. Tidal power

  3. Geothermal energy

  4. Nuclear energy

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Energy sources are of two categories, renewable and non renewable. 

Non renewable resources include fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, coal) and nuclear fuel (mostly uranium, which is in limited supply). Use of both of them causes pollution. Fossil fuel cause oil spills, acid rain, air pollution, water pollution etc. Nuclear energy may give rise to radiation pollution. 
Renewable resources of energy include biomass energy and some forms of inexhaustible energy like solar energy, hydro power, wind power etc. They are less polluting but far more expensive due to technological incipiency.

A renewable exhaustible natural resource is

  1. Forest

  2. Coal

  3. Petroleum

  4. Minerals

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Forests are the renewable natural resources which can be recycled but should not be used beyond a limit. Coal, petroleum and minerals are exhaustible resources and cannot be recycled. 

Thus, the correct answer is option A. 

Petroleum is a
