inherent to earth
2. Natural resources include renewable and non-
renewable resources
3. Natural resources are exploited to create the
products and services that we depend on

5. Air
• Wind is caused by the uneven
heating of the atmosphere. Some
areas of the world, such as costal
regions, have more wind than
others because the terrain of the
area is relatively flat and has few
obstacles to block the wind from
blowing.

6. FOREST
Forests have moderate climate,
help cleanse the air and water, and
house wildlife. They also provide
thousands of wood products and
related jobs.
Trees are used to make paper,
hockey sticks, flooring and food
Forests face threats from fire,
pollution, erosion and acid rain

7. SOLAR ENERGY
The sun is the closest star to Earth.
It brings heat and light to the
world. Some areas of the world,
such as those closest to the
equator, have more sun than
others.
The sun shines naturally but it is
not affected by human activity. It
cannot be used up. However, its
intensity varies with the seasons,
and it is not available at night.

9. Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels take millions of years to form.
They are the product of the fossilized
remains of dead plants and animals that
have been exposed to the heat and pressure
deep within the earth’s crust. There are
many types of fossil fuels, such as petroleum
(gasoline), natural gas, and coal.
