Question 1 of 10
Score: 0
1. Which condition is essential for a renewable resource to remain renewable?
  • Its natural restoration and regeneration must not be disturbed.
  • Its extraction must increase every year.
  • Its consumption must always exceed regeneration.
  • Its natural supply must remain completely unused.
2. A farmer extracts groundwater faster than it is replenished. What is the likely long-term effect?
  • The groundwater level will rise continuously.
  • The cost of groundwater extraction may increase.
  • The water table will remain permanently unchanged.
  • The supply of groundwater will automatically increase.
3. Which practice best reflects holistic soil management?
  • Using chemical fertilisers for every crop.
  • Using natural fertilisers, mulching and multi-cropping.
  • Growing one crop continuously with pesticides.
  • Increasing chemical pesticides to prevent degradation.
4. Why did groundwater extraction increase in Punjab after the Green Revolution?
  • High-yielding crops required less water than traditional crops.
  • Farmers completely stopped depending on groundwater.
  • High-yielding crops required more water for cultivation.
  • Modern farming completely removed the need for irrigation.
5. What can the uneven distribution of natural resources influence?
  • Only the location of forests and wildlife.
  • Only the amount of rainfall received by a region.
  • Human settlements, trade patterns and international relations.
  • Only the number of agricultural workers in a country.
6. A resource-rich region remains economically underdeveloped. Which concept best explains this situation?
  • The natural regeneration cycle.
  • The ecosystem service principle.
  • The natural resource curse.
  • The renewable resource principle.
7. Which action can help raise groundwater levels?
  • Increasing groundwater extraction.
  • Rejuvenating ponds and tanks.
  • Increasing wasteful water consumption.
  • Using groundwater without replenishment.
8. Why did traditional communities regulate fishing during the spawning season?
  • To increase fishing during the breeding season.
  • To help maintain the fish population.
  • To encourage excessive commercial fishing.
  • To prevent fish from reproducing naturally.
9. Which statement correctly distinguishes non-renewable resources from renewable resources?
  • Non-renewable resources regenerate as quickly as forests.
  • Non-renewable resources cannot be replenished at the rate of use.
  • Non-renewable resources become unlimited after extraction.
  • Non-renewable resources are always restored naturally within days.
10. Which situation best demonstrates responsible stewardship of natural resources?
  • Using resources as rapidly as possible for immediate benefit.
  • Ignoring the needs of future generations completely.
  • Increasing extraction without considering natural cycles.
  • Using resources while allowing restoration and regeneration.
