Environment and Resources

Atmosphere Layers: The second highest layer of Earth's atmosphere is the mesosphere.
Types of Environments: Physical, man-made, social and hydrosphere are types of environments.
Abiotic Components: Non-living things are abiotic components.
Acid Rain Impacts: Acid rain causes soil acidification and crop loss. It can also damage buildings.
5 R's: Reduce, resell, reuse, and recycle are components of the 5 R's.
Water Reserves: About 97% of the world's water reserves are salty water. Only about 3% is fresh water.
WHO: Stands for World Health Organization.
Greenhouse Gases: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas.
Natural Resource Depletion: Overpopulation and wastage are causes of natural resource depletion.
Montreal Protocol: Addresses the depletion of the ozone layer.
Mineral Resources: Metals and potash are mineral resources.
Earth Summit Location: The Earth Summit was held in Rio de Janeiro.
Cyclic Resources: Water is an example of a cyclic resource.
Biogas Raw Materials: Cow dung is a major raw material for biogas.

Explore key aspects of Earth's environment, including atmosphere layers, abiotic components, and the impacts of acid rain. This quiz covers vital topics such as water reserves, the 5 R's, and natural resource depletion to enhance your understanding of environmental issues and management.
