Questions Related to reason for finishing of materials (resources)

Which of these is not a fossil fuel?

evs how to save fuel define fossil fuels conservation of fuels reason for finishing of materials (resources)

  1. Coal

  2. LPG

  3. Bio gas

  4. All are fossil fuel

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

LPG is a fossil fuel which contains low carbon. It is a fossil fuel that does not occur during isolation. LPG is found naturally in combination with other hydrocarbons, crude oil, and natural gas. LPG is produced during natural gas processing and oil refining process.

Coal and Natural gas are also the fossil fuels and are obtained from earth crust.

Biogas is a mixture of methane ,carbon dioxide ,hydrogen and hydrogen sulphide. it is produced by anaerobic degradation of animal waste such as cow dunk in presence of water.

Hence options C  is correct.

CNG is a component of natural gas.

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
CNG is compressed natural gas.
Hence, above statement is False.

Some natural resources are limited.

evs how to save fuel define fossil fuels conservation of fuels reason for finishing of materials (resources) fuel and conservation

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Some natural resources such as coal and petroleum are limited as they are non-renewable resources.

Classify the following resources as exhaustible and inexhaustible natural resources :
wind, petroleum, coal, natural gas, sunlight, forests, water, minerals.  

evs how to save fuel define fossil fuels conservation of fuels reason for finishing of materials (resources) fuel and conservation

  1. Exhaustible : petroleum, coal, natural gas, forests, minerals, water

    Inexhaustible : wind, sunlight

  2. Exhaustible : petroleum, coal, natural gas, forests, minerals.

    Inexhaustible : wind, sunlight, water.

  3. Exhaustible : petroleum, coal, natural gas, forests, wind

    Inexhaustible : sunlight, water, minerals

  4. Exhaustible : petroleum, coal, natural gas, forests, minerals, wind

    Inexhaustible : sunlight, water.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An inexhaustible resource is one that is replaceable, while an exhaustible resource is not replaceable, hence wind, sunlight and water are inexhaustible resources while other are exhaustible resources.

What is the cause of a very high demand of water even though it is inexhaustible natural resource?

evs how to save fuel define fossil fuels conservation of fuels reason for finishing of materials (resources) fuel and conservation

  1. Fresh water makes only small volume of world's water

  2. Most of the fresh water is in the form of ice and snow cover

  3. Conversion of sea water to fresh water is difficult and not economical

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Water is inexhaustible natural resource .i.e. it is never going to deplete but it has a very high demand because the large percentage of water which is present on the Earth surface is not suitable for drinking. The suitable form is in the frozen form (ice, snow, glaciers etc). Its conversion to drinking water is non-economical and hence is not favoured.

Which of the following is a resource that does not grow and come back, or a resource that would take a very long time to come back?

evs how to save fuel define fossil fuels conservation of fuels reason for finishing of materials (resources) fuel and conservation

  1. Renewable

  2. Non-renewable

  3. Both a and b

  4. None of above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A natural resource is anything that people can use which comes from nature. People do not make natural resources, but gather them from the earth. A non-renewable resource is a resource that does not grow and come back or a resource that would take a very long time to come back. For example, coal is a non-renewable resource. 

Which of the following non-renewable resource can be reused by recycling?

evs how to save fuel define fossil fuels conservation of fuels reason for finishing of materials (resources) fuel and conservation

  1. Coal

  2. Metallic minerals

  3. Petroleum

  4. None of above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Non-renewable resources form extremely slowly or do not naturally form in the environment. Of the non-renewable resources, metallic minerals can be reused by recycling, but coal and petroleum cannot be recycled.

What is the function of PCRA?

  2. Advises people to prevent water pollution

  3. Petroleum Refining Industry

  4. None of above

In India, the Petroleum Conservation Research Association(PCRA) advises people how to save petrol/diesel while driving. 

Which of the following is a non-renewable resource?

evs how to save fuel define fossil fuels conservation of fuels reason for finishing of materials (resources) fuel and conservation

  1. Tidal energy

  2. Wind

  3. Petroleum

  4. Solar energy

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A non-renewable resource does not renew itself at a sufficient rate for sustainable economic extraction in meaningful human time-frames. Earth minerals, metal ores, fossil fuels and groundwater in certain aquifers are all non-renewable resources.
In contrast, resources such as timber and wind (used to power energy conversion systems) are considered renewable resources.
