This is only enough for oil to last for the next 46.2 years. What measures should be taken to conserve oil? What will happen if we do not conserve it.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nFossil fuels were produced from the remains of ancient plants and animals. They include coal, petroleum (oil) and natural gas. Apart from its use in vehicles, many of the products we use today are made from petroleum. We need to conserve fossil fuels so we don\u2019t run out of them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Everyone can help conserve fossil fuels by using them carefully.<\/li>\n<li>Turn of lights and electronics when you are not using them.<\/li>\n<li>Purchase energy &#8211; efficient appliances.

Why does the private company want to carry out mining in the beach area?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nPrivate company wants to carry out mining in the beach area for their benefits, they want to earn money.<\/p>\n<p>v. What is the role of the government in this aspect?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe government has to take action against the private people if they start mining, which harm people or if government give permission and control the process where it should not effect the people.<\/p>\n<p>vi. How will mining in that piece of land affect people of the area?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nMining causes air pollution which leads to the diseases of respiratory system like lung cancer, Asthma, etc<\/p>\n<p>Question 3.<br \/>\nWhat is sustainable development? How is it useful in natural resource management?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nWhen we use the environment in ways that ensure we have resources for the future, it is called sustainable development. Development and conservation can co-exist in harmony. The earth\u2019s natural resources include air, water, soil, minerals, fuels, plants and animals. AH the things we need to survive such as food, water, air and shelter.<\/p>\n<p>Conservation is the practice of caring for these resources to all living things can benefit from them now and in the future. The development meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs.<\/p>\n<p>Question 4.<br \/>\nWrite a detailed note on management of a natural resource.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe interest in conservation is not a sentimental one but the discovery of a truth well known to our ancient stages. The Indian tradition teaches us that all forms of life-human, animal and plant &#8211; are so closely inter-linked, that disturbance in one gives riseto imbalance in another (By Srimathi Indira Gandhi, while launching the world conservation strategy in India on 6th March 1980.)<\/p>\n<p>Small steps could become great efforts at conservation. Protection of the environment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Soil, water, air, animals, birds, plants and trees are not anybody\u2019s property.<\/li>\n<li>That is the collective property bestowed on us by nature. We use the natural resources to produce many things. Some of them are our own, while others are public property.<\/li>\n<li>Village &#8211; tanks, ponds, vegetable markets, bus stands, railway stations, temples, schools and colleges are public property and are used by aH.<\/li>\n<li>Everyone should join hands to protect them. It\u2019s not a single individual\u2019s jobs.<\/li>\n<li>Only when we collectively take up the tasks like growing trees besides roads, providing drainage or keeping the surroundings of the public tap in our colony clean we can be successfully.<\/li>\n<li>This is a collective responsibility. &#8211; Protection of the natural resources is possible only if all of us join hands together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/apboardsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AP-Board-Solutions.png\" alt=\"TS 10th Class Biology Study Material 10th Lesson Natural Resources\" width=\"196\" height=\"17\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 5.<br \/>\nSuggest some ways of reusing a resource in your locality?<br \/>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If a fine soft coarse of blanket is to cover open springs to save wear of springs on sheets and mattress.<\/li>\n<li>Bottle cap as dent patcher in a wooden table. Put a metal bottle cap over the dent with the fluted edge facing upward towards the table, press the centre of the capightly with the tip of a hot iron.<\/li>\n<li>Buttons : If you have only two attractive buttons make them into a pair of earrings. If you have 4 attractive buttons make them into a pair of cufflinks, chain stitch<\/li>\n<li>Candle stubs: For corking bottles when you lost the cork soften a candle stub that it fits the neck of the bottle.<br \/>\nA candle stub also make excellent fire starters. Candle stub can be saved and melted together and make into new candles.<\/li>\n<li>The used bangles which are thrown a side can be used as a pen stand by sticking them one on the other.<\/li>\n<li>Paper, a product of many trees can be put reuse after proper use. If it is done properly, definitely their practice would save many plants from extinctions. Thus reduce the effect of CO<sub>2<\/sub> on the earth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 6.<br \/>\nWhy should we conserve forests and wild life?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nWildlife and forests should be conserve for the following reasons.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wildlife and forests are the measures of Biodiversity of a particular legion. By conserving the wildlife and forests, we are ensuring that all diverse species in an area survive, breed and flourish.<\/li>\n<li>Conservation of forests and wildlife is vital for the ecological stability of particular area.<\/li>\n<li>Forests are the habilitate for the wildlife and they are an important constitute of the various food chains and food webs. Forests are needed for smooth functioning of Biochemical cycles.<\/li>\n<li>Forests are necessary for the formation of human and for maintaining soil fertility.<\/li>\n<li>Forest pure air protect the earth from green house effect by removing carbon dioxide and converting it into oxygen. Thus forests protecting us from harmfully effects of global warming.<\/li>\n<li>Many fruits, medicines, dyes, sandle wood and bamboo is obtained from forest by local people.<\/li>\n<li>Forest provide employment large number of people and also help in generating revenue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 7.<br \/>\nSuggest some approaches towards the conservation of forests.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nBasic steps to save forests :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trees: It\u2019s a concept originally devised from elementary school audience but serves well as set of principles for saving rain forests and on a broader scale, ecosystems around the world.<\/li>\n<li>Teach, others about the importance of the environment and how they can help to save forests.<\/li>\n<li>Restore: Restore damaged ecosystems by planting trees, where forests have been cut down.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage: People to live in away that doesn\u2019t hurt the environment.<\/li>\n<li>Establish parks : To protect forests and wild life parks should be established.<\/li>\n<li>Support : Companies that operate in ways that minimize damage to the environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 8.<br \/>\nNatural resources are decreased more rapidly. Guess what will be the consequences?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe problem arising the exploitation of natural resources are the following.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Natural resources like soil, water, air, forest, animals, minerals are declining at a rapid pace due to indiscriminate use.<\/li>\n<li>Deforestation leads to desertiflcation. downfall of rain, soil erosion, extinction of species.<\/li>\n<li>Air, water, soil pollutions leads ozone depletion Greenhouse effect.<\/li>\n<li>Soil also very precious natural resources if farmer want good yeild, they need healthy soil. If the activities of human continues with no time total soil become barren.<\/li>\n<li>Water is also very valuable resource only 3% water on earth available for our utility. If water pollution goes on like this. Availability of portable water very little for us.<\/li>\n<li>If human activities are not proper there lot scope for natural calamities like earthquakes, tsunami, floods will occurs.

Write in detail the steps involved in it.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nNear to our village there is a center that recycles the paper waste. Here the waste paper is recycled in the following way.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Waste paper is collected from various sources.<\/li>\n<li>This paper is taken to the recycling plant where it is separated into types and grades.<\/li>\n<li>The separated paper is then washed with soapy water to remove inks, plastic film, staples and glue.<\/li>\n<li>The paper is put into a large holder where It is mixed with water to create slurry.<\/li>\n<li>By adding different materials to the slurry different paper products can be created, such as cardboard, newsprints or office paper.<\/li>\n<li>The slurry is spread using large rollers into large thin sheets.<\/li>\n<li>The paper is left to dry.<\/li>\n<li>Then it is rolled up, ready to be cut and sent back to the shops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Plastic Recycling process:<\/p>\n<p>Stage &#8211; 1: Plastic needs to collected by the recycling company. Once plastic arise, recycling plant he first stage is to sort the plastic into specific types because plastic recycling is more complex than of other metals like glass or paper. Due to many different types of plastic, more importantly mixed plastic cannot be used in manufacturing without delivering poor quality products. He\u00f1ce why plastic recycling companies need to be through when it comes to sorting the waste plastic into the definite forms.<\/p>\n<p>Stage &#8211; 2: Once the waste plastic is identified and separated, the cleaning process will begin, this usually starts with washing to remove paper labels, adhesives and other impurities to be completely removed as this lowers the quality of the recyclic plastic.<\/p>\n<p>Stage &#8211; 3: The shredding stage is when the plastic is taken and loaded on to conveyor belts or directly into huge hoppers that funnel the clean scrap towards rotating metal teeth that rip the plastic into small pellets which are bagged up and ready for testing.<\/p>\n<p>Stage &#8211; 4 : Identify and classify the plastic: Once the shredded plastic has been hagged it is then chemically tested and labelled as to its exact specification, this grade plastic can be used as is by adding to a mix of vergin plastic in a manufacturing run, alternatively the grade plastic can be further recycled.<\/p>\n<p>Stage &#8211; 5 : Exturding: This is the final stage in recycling plastic. This involves cleaning and melting, shredded plastic and extruding the form of pellets which then go on to manufacture the next lot of plastic products.<\/p>\n<p>Reasons to recyclic plastic: Millions of tons of a waste plastic end up in land fill, when the vast majority of it can be recycled, it\u2019s all too easy to throw away rubbish without a second thought, but we need to take care of our planet and not just reducing the amount of rubbish we bury but also given that plastic is derived from oil, a natural product with ever depleting resource it makes sense to recycling as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/apboardsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AP-Board-Solutions.png\" alt=\"TS 10th Class Biology Study Material 10th Lesson Natural Resources\" width=\"196\" height=\"17\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 14.<br \/>\nCollect any graph that shows oil (petroleum) consumption in India.<br \/>\ni.

provided technical support for cost efficient water storage and soil conservation structures.<\/li>\n<li>The measures were community as well as individual farmer-based.<\/li>\n<li>Fourteen water storage structures with the storage capacity of 300 to 2000 m<sup>3<\/sup>, 60 mini percolation pits, field bunding on 38 hectares were completed.<\/li>\n<li>Twenty-eight dry open wells, near Nalla were recharged by building dykes in the NaNa and retaining the run off rain water in it.<\/li>\n<li>A user group was formed for each water storage structure and the water collected was exclusively used for recharging the ground water to the dried well.<\/li>\n<li>Broad bed furrow land form and contour planting was implemented to conserve soil and water.<\/li>\n<li>Gliricidia plants are planted on the field bunds to strengthen the land, make the soil nitrogen rich.<\/li>\n<li>Farmers were encouraged to use water resources jointly and irrigate land using micro-irrigation techniques.<\/li>\n<li>Saplings of useful species were planted along the roads, field bunds and Nallas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 9.<br \/>\nWhy do you think forests are important?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nForests are important because,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They are rich habitat for plants and animals.<\/li>\n<li>They serve as a lung for the world.<\/li>\n<li>They purify air, decrease carbon dioxide, global warming and green house effect.<\/li>\n<li>Thus provide various valuable things such as wood, medicines, etc.<\/li>\n<li>They are providing raw materials for several industries.<\/li>\n<li>They maintain ecological balance in nature.<\/li>\n<li>They preserve the soil fertility.<\/li>\n<li>They cause rains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 10.<br \/>\nCollect information about solar, wind, tidal and

Another process for the production of nuclear energy is called fusion. In this process two nuclei of the same elements are fused with one another. In this process much more energy is produced than by fission reaction. This energy is produced as heat.<\/p>\n<p>This is used to produce steam which runs generators to produce electricity. There are some problems associated with genergation of nuclear energy. Several precautions have to be taken to prevent leakage of radioactive toxic materials from nuclear reactors. The uranium required for nuclear reactor is processed at nuclear fuel complex in Hyderabad.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/apboardsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AP-Board-Solutions.png\" alt=\"TS 10th Class Biology Study Material 10th Lesson Natural Resources\" width=\"196\" height=\"17\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 12.<br \/>\nDo you think it is necessary to have a lot of lighting for decoration during celebrations?<br \/>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No, it is not necessary to have a lot of lighting to decorate an occasion of celebration.<\/li>\n<li>Decorating with more lights consumes more electricity.<\/li>\n<li>Excess use of electricity leads to energy crisis.<\/li>\n<li>Most of the electricity is produced from fossil fuels like coal or diesel (generator).<\/li>\n<li>So it leads to depletion of our natural resources.<\/li>\n<li>Excess production of electricity from coal increases global warming.<\/li>\n<li>Thus it leads to changes in the environment and pollution also.<\/li>\n<li>So electricity should be used discriminately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 13.<br \/>\nCollect information about technology used for transplantation of trees and discuss in your classroom.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe tree transplantation technology involves the following procedures.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Initial preparation by examining roots and tree health.<\/li>\n<li>Soil sampling and site selection.<\/li>\n<li>Root purning and initiating fresh root growth.<\/li>\n<li>Tree packing, feeding and monitoring for adaptation.<\/li>\n<li>Tree transplantation by lifting with crane.<\/li>\n<li>Mechanical support and purning.<\/li>\n<li>Post translational treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 14.<br \/>\nSuggest some ways in which you and your friends would like to manage a resource.<br \/>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Me and my friends can manage the biodiversity in our school.<\/li>\n<li>First we will make a map of our school.<\/li>\n<li>By studying we can identify various plants, insects and small animals like squirrels, etc. growing in our school.<\/li>\n<li>We will mark the details in the map and note down the details in a notebook.<\/li>\n<li>By dividing ourselves into various groups we will take care of flora and fauna.<\/li>\n<li>We will water the plants regularly.<\/li>\n<li>We will provide proper protection to both flora and fauna.<\/li>\n<li>Thus we can manage a resource.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Question 15.<br \/>\nAre we also an important resources of nature?
