Explain ways of using and sustaining Earth's resources
1.its most direct use is achieved by capturing the sun's energy. A variety of solar energy technologies are used to convert the sun's energy and light into heat: illumination, hot water, electricity and (paradoxically) cooling systems for businesses and industry.
2.fossil fuel formed from the remains of tiny sea plants and animals that died 300-400 million years ago
3.something that is being used at a faster rate than the rate at which it can regenerate. While stone can regenerate, it takes millions of years for the regeneration process to happen.
4.Sand and gravel are used extensively in construction for the preparation of concrete as well as for other applications such as glass, electronics or aeronautics. These are mined in coastal areas, where it can cause problems
5.Wind energy generates electricity by turning wind turbines.
