The Natural World 🌍

WATER:  Water is a vital renewable nature resources. Three-fourths of the earth's surface is covered with water. Hence, it is called as water planet . Ocean water is saline and not fit for human consumption. Fresh water accounts for only 2.7% of the total water available. Only 1% of this freshwater is available for human use. Fresh water is the most precious substance on earth. It can neither be added nor subtracted from the Earth . Cause of water shortage:    The major cause of water shortage are increased population, resign demands for food and cash crops, increasing urbanization and rising standards of living.  Countries located in climatic zones are most susceptible to droughts and face great problem of water scarcity.  Global warming and high pace of industrialization also leads to raise the concern against clean water availability. Uses of water 💦:        Water  is used for agriculture, industries, household works, drinking purposes, generating electricity through reservoirs

      Natural resources can be defined as the resources that exist on the planet independent of human actions.These are the resources that are found in the environment and are developed without the intervention of humans.           Based on the availability there are two types of natural resources . They are                 • Renewable resources                 • Non- renewable resources  Renewable R esources:                These are the resources that are naturally occurring, for example: sunlight🌞, water💦,soil . These are renewed easily by nature. These resources have been in nature and cannot be produced by man. Non-renewable resources:                These are the resources on earth 🌎 occur freely in nature but are in limited quantity. It will be depleted over time . Non- renewable energy includes fossils fuels such as coal and petroleum. 

  Environment is everything that is present around us. It can be living or non-living things. It includes physical, chemical and other natural force.                         Basically,  environment plays an important role in healthy living and the existence of life on plant earth 🌍. Earth is the home for different living species and we all are dependent on the environment for food , air, water and other needs that it is important for every individual to save and protect an environment.    Environment awareness:          It involves the gradual understanding of environmental issues and the recognition of the connection among human actions development, sustainability and human responsibility in these process. Environment is essential to demonstrate how humans can protect and preserve there natural resources. Educating the population  can reduce the use of plastics and water 💦 waste while promoting recycling to reduce landfill waste.  Benefits:     The natural environment give us a weal
