Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    Define natural resources.

    Model answer

    Natural resources are materials found in nature that people use, such as coal, water, timber and oil. Some resources renew themselves and others run out.

  2. 2

    Explain the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources.

    Model answer

    Renewable resources such as wind and solar power replace themselves naturally. Non-renewable resources such as coal, oil and gas cannot be replaced once used.

  3. 3

    Define pollution.

    Model answer

    Pollution is the contamination of air, water or land by harmful substances. Waste, exhaust fumes and chemicals are common causes.

  4. 4

    Name three types of pollution.

    Model answer

    Air pollution, water pollution and land pollution are three types. Noise and light pollution are also recognised.

  5. 5

    Why do Christians treat pollution as a religious issue?

    Model answer

    Pollution damages a world Christians believe God made and called good. Damage to creation then breaks the duty of stewardship.

  6. 6

    What is climate change?

    Model answer

    Climate change is the long-term shift in global temperature and weather patterns. Fossil fuels release greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere.
