Non-Renewable Resources

• Extracting and using non-renewable resources like coal and oil can lead to air and water pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change.

Breathing Rate and Carbon Dioxide

• The body increases breathing rate to expel more carbon dioxide in response to high carbon dioxide levels in the blood.

Renewable Resource Benefits

• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions and less habitat destruction are potential environmental benefits of reducing reliance on non-renewable resources.

Night and Day

• The Earth rotates on its axis, it's not a misconception.

Shock Waves

• The hypocenter is the area within the Earth's crust where the shock waves begin.

Heart Valves

• Heart valves prevent the backflow of blood, ensuring unidirectional flow to maintain efficient circulation.

Non-Renewable Resource

• Coal is a non-renewable natural resource.

Fiber Deficiency

• A diet lacking in fiber leads to constipation and other digestive issues.

Fruits and Vegetables

• Fruits and Vegetables leads to enhance the intake of essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
