NATURAL RESOURCES

Trees, oil, and metals are all examples of natural resources. A natural resource is any material in nature that people use and value.

Deforestation the action of clearing a wide area of trees.

Reforestation (occasionally, Reafforestation) is the natural or intentional restocking of existing forests and woodlands (forestation) that have been depleted, usually through deforestation, but also after clearcutting. Reforestation can be used to undo and rectify the effects of deforestation and improve the quality of human life by absorbing pollution and dust from the air,

Fossil fuels are made from decomposing plants and animals. These fuels are found in the Earth’s crust and contain carbon and hydrogen, which can be burned for energy. Coal , oil , and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.

The flow of water produces hydroelectricity. Falling water produces hydroelectric power. The theory is to build a dam on a large river that has a large drop in elevation (there are not many hydroelectric plants in Kansas or Florida). The dam stores lots of water behind it in the reservoir.

Nuclear energy is the energy in the nucleus, or core, of an atom. Atom s are tiny units that make up all matter in the universe, and energy is what holds the nucleus together. There is a huge amount of energy in an atom's dense nucleus.

Launched in 2008, the Roadster unveiled Tesla’s cutting-edge battery technology and electric powertrain. From there, Tesla designed the world’s first ever premium all-electric sedan from the ground up – Model S – which has become the best car in its class in every category. Combining safety, performance, and efficiency, …

Earth provides valuable resources for our use. Energy resources provide fuel, heat and electricity. Mineral resources include metals, rocks and salt. Resources shape people's lives and countries wealth.

Tress helps us clean the air replenish soil nutrients produce food, enhance biodiversity, shelter for wild life, crime prevention, produce oxygen, breaks wind and shades and saves energy.

Oil is a non-renewable source. 57% is used by automobiles, 7 percent of it runs factory's, 8 percent is used for air transportation and the 8 percent is used for other accommodations We also used oil to make plastics for cell phones

Almost 60 percent of America’s drinking water originates from national forests — mainly the rivers and streams that run through them. Scientists predict that, by 2071, nearly half of the freshwater basins in the U.S. may not be able to meet the monthly demand for water, partly due to climate change-related deforestation and forest degradation.

Climate change is fueling extreme droughts, violent storms and severe wildfires. Trees that aren’t killed by these threats are weakened. This leaves them vulnerable to disease and pests.  A century of suppression of natural fires has left many forests overgrown and unhealthy. In some places fire-dependent forests have been replaced by entirely different ecosystems.
