What is a renewable resource?
Can be replenished naturally
Wind is an example of a
renewable
resource.
True
Non-renewable resources have a limited supply and cannot be replenished
naturally
Match the resource type with its characteristic:
Renewable ↔️ Replenished naturally
Non-renewable ↔️ Limited supply
What are the primary sources of water used for potable water production?
Rivers, lakes, groundwater, seawater
Chlorination is used to kill harmful bacteria in water.
True
Arrange the methods to make water potable in the correct order:
1️⃣ Filtration
2️⃣ Chlorination
3️⃣ Distillation
Electricity is one of the energy sources used for water
purification
Chlorine is commonly used as a chemical disinfectant in water purification
True
Filtration removes solid
particles
Match the water purification method with its description:
Filtration ↔️ Removes solid particles
Chlorination ↔️ Kills harmful bacteria
Distillation ↔️ Separates water by boiling
Arrange the steps in the process of obtaining potable water from natural sources
1️⃣ Filtration
2️⃣ Sedimentation
3️⃣ Disinfection
4️⃣ Storage
Filtration removes harmful bacteria from water
False
Match the water purification method with its description:
Desalination ↔️ Removes salt from seawater

.
True
The Earth's resources are classified into two main types: renewable and
non-renewable
Renewable resources can be replenished or regenerated
naturally
What is a non-renewable resource?
Limited supply, cannot replenish
Fossil fuels are examples of
non-renewable
resources.
