Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What is meant by a resource?
Model answer
Anything from the natural or human environment that people can use to meet a need, such as a fuel, a mineral, a crop or a supply of fresh water.
- 2
Why does a dependable food supply matter so much to people's health?
Model answer
Without enough to eat people become undernourished, which leaves them weak and more likely to fall ill, and stops children growing and developing properly.
- 3
What effect does widespread hunger have on a country's economy?
Model answer
Hungry workers are less productive and lose more days to illness, so output falls and more of the country's money has to be spent on health care.
- 4
Why is a clean, treated water supply so important to public health?
Model answer
Untreated water carries diseases such as cholera and typhoid, so a safe supply cuts illness, keeps children in school and keeps adults able to work.
- 5
Apart from drinking and washing, what do farming and industry rely on water for?
Model answer
Farmers use it to irrigate crops and water livestock, and factories use it for cooling, cleaning and as a raw ingredient, so a shortage halts production.
- 6
Why can a country not develop economically without a reliable electricity supply?
Model answer
Factories, offices, ports and hospitals cannot run without power, and businesses will not invest in a place where the supply keeps failing.
