Earth Resources-Module

The document discusses different types of natural resources on Earth including land, soil, water, and minerals. It explains that natural resources can be classified as renewable or non-renewable. Renewable resources like sunlight, water, and biomass can regenerate relatively quickly. Non-renewable resources like fossil fuels take a very long time to form and cannot be replenished once depleted.

Earth's Resources

ACTIVITY 1:

A. Drill

Let us have a drill. Entitle “What are things made of?” where all you have to do is

complete each sentence with the help of the words inside the box.
ACTIVITY 2:

Renewable or Non-Renewable!

Direction: Classify the following materials as (RNR) renewable natural resources and

(NRNR) non-renewable natural resources. Write your answer before the number.
ACTIVITY 3:

Direction: Write a short sentence describing the pictures on the proper ways of
sustaining Earth’s resources.
Planet Earth is made up of natural resources such as animals, plants, air, soil, rocks,
water, minerals, crude oil, and other fossil fuels. These things are called natural
resources because they are gathered from nature they are not made by people.
different earth’s resources such as Land and Soil Resources where it is one of the
important natural resources needed for the survival of organisms on earth.

Land and Soil Resources were used in different industries. New and improved
technologies are being developed and used to sustain the agricultural land for humanity.
Non- agricultural lands are being converted into residential and commercial areas.

We also have Water Resources where 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water
mostly oceans but also rivers, lakes, and other

fresh water. And since the earth is mostly covered with water, there is a great variety of
life forms on it. And a small percentage of this vast water is available for human
consumption. Where humans get freshwater from rivers, lakes, and groundwater.

We also have Mineral Resources where Minerals are mined from Earth. They are pure
inorganic substances that occur naturally in the earth’s crust. Mineral resources are
non-renewable and include metals (e.g., iron, copper, and aluminum), and non-metals
(e.g., salt, gypsum, clay, sand, and phosphates). They constitute the vital raw materials
for many basic industries and are a major resource for development.

Our Earth’s natural resources can be classified into two, renewable and
nonrenewable.

Renewable resources- can be regenerated at the same rate or even faster as they are
being used. Examples of renewable resources are sunlight, water, air, biomass, and
geothermal are renewable resources because they cannot be used up. They are
replenished over relatively short periods by natural processes.

Nonrenewable- Fossil fuels were formed within the Earth from dead plants and animals
over millions of years. Coal, oil, and natural gas are fossil fuels. They are the major
types of nonrenewable resources because once they are used up, they cannot be
replaced. This is due to the long time it takes for them to be replenished.
Questions:

1. Why is it important to know the proper ways how to sustain Earth's resources?

2. As a whole, Is it necessary to sustain Earth's resources? Why?

Quiz

Direction: Yes or No: Write Yes if the statement is true, and No if it is incorrect. Write
your answer before the number.

__________1. Renewable resources can be regenerated at the same rate or even


faster as they are being used.

_________2. Nonrenewable resources must be conserved for future use because there
is no reasonable way for humans to produce more.

_________3. Renewable resources can be replenished over relatively short periods by


natural processes.

_________4. Coal, oil, and natural gas are fossil fuels.

_________5. Sunlight, water, air, biomass, and geothermal are nonrenewable


resources
