1. Read your textbook from p. 64 - 71

2. Using your textbook, answer the following questions in the next columns

1. Dumping of untreated waste discharge from factories into water bodies.

2. untreated or poorly treated sewage can be low in dissolved oxygen and high in pollutants.

# data[].attributes.body
Natural resources are used to build homes and tools and are also used as fuel for cooking and warmth. the furniture also made out of wood needs to be extracted from the natural environment.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Hard wood

2. this material can withstand elements such as heavy rain and strong winds

3. concrete

4. it can protect occupants from basic threats such fires and last for a long time with minimal maintenance.

# data[].attributes.body
1. untreated sewage water

2. dumping of unwanted waste from factories

# data[].attributes.body
Used to withstand elements such as heavy rain and strong winds and protect people from basic threats such as fire

# data[].attributes.body
they are used to build homes and also used as tools

# data[].attributes.body
1. an example would be wood and concrete

2. wood is used for withstanding elements like heavy rain, strong winds

3. Concrete can be used to protect occupants or owners against the basic threats like fire.

# data[].attributes.body
Natural resources are used in building houses and tools and for basic needs. One example would be fuel. fuel is not only just used for cooking but can also be used for generating electricity

# data[].attributes.body
1. An example would be the dumping on untreated waste from factories.

2. As the waste was not treated properly, it can cause lower dissolved oxygen levels and highly conatminated waters

# data[].attributes.body
Natural resources like wood from forests can be used to make wooden floorings in houses or as framing. And Steel which is obtained through mining is used to reinforce our homes to make it strong.

# data[].attributes.body
People living in housing developments will produce a large amount of waste. As a result, the city must build landfills to dispose of this waste or incinerate it. Which causes land pollution to happen

# data[].attributes.body
When people drive, contaminants from vehicles such as oil, rubber, and heavy metals from the street, will be washed away by surface run-off into water bodies, contaminating them. In addition, fecal matter or chemicals produced by humans. Ends up in sewage and if left untreated or poorly treated it will be high in pollutants. This sewage ends up contaminating water bodies. Groundwater and surface water can also be contaminated by hazardous substances and unwanted waste disposed by humans in urban city

# data[].attributes.body
wood from the forest is used to make the furniture is our homes and steel from mining would be used to reinforce our homes

# data[].attributes.body
humans produce alot of waste which many cities have to build landfills to dispose of them while some choose to incinerate them but the leftover materials form the incineration still needs to be properly managed to avoid further pollution

# data[].attributes.body
surface run off from polluted streets affect the waters, poorly treated sewage can be low in oxygen and contain bacteria and chemicals which thus pollutes the waters

# data[].attributes.body
1. cement & wood

2. wood is used for flooring

3. cement is hard hence used to withstand and protect people in the house

# data[].attributes.body
1. wood & steel

2. wood is used to make furniture

3. steel to reinforce our home

# data[].attributes.body
Cement and wood are used to make furniture and steel is used to reinforce our homes

# data[].attributes.body
1. wood

2. the resource is to withstand rain

3. concrete

4. to protect house and people

1. One example of a resource commonly used in house construction is lumber.

2. Lumber is used in housing construction primarily for its strength, versatility, and availability. It's a crucial material for framing, providing the structural framework for walls, floors, and roofs. Additionally, lumber is often used for sheathing, decking, trim work, and interior finishes. Its natural properties make it easy to work with, allowing builders to customize and adapt it to various architectural designs and construction needs.

3. Another example of a resource commonly used in house construction is concrete.

4. Concrete is a versatile building material made from a mixture of cement, water, aggregates (such as sand and gravel), and sometimes admixtures. It's used in various aspects of construction, including foundations, floors, walls, driveways, and sidewalks. Concrete offers durability, strength, fire resistance, and thermal mass, making it suitable for both structural and decorative purposes in housing construction.

1. Residential Living: People move into new homes in the developed areas.

Work and Commuting: Residents can live closer to their workplaces, reducing travel time.

Shopping and Services: More stores and services open up to meet the needs of the growing population.

Education: New schools are built to accommodate the increasing number of residents.

Transportation Infrastructure: Roads and public transport options improve to handle increased traffic.

Community and Social Activities: Parks, community centers, and libraries provide spaces for social interaction and recreation.

2. Urbanization and Construction: Clearing land and construction disrupt natural habitats and lead to soil erosion.

Industrial Activities: Industries release pollutants like chemicals and heavy metals into the soil.

Transportation Pollution: Vehicle emissions and oil leaks contaminate soil near roads.

Waste Mismanagement: Improper disposal of waste contaminates soil and groundwater.

Urban Runoff: Rainwater carries pollutants from streets and industrial areas into soil and water.

Chemical Usage: Overuse of fertilizers and pesticides contaminates soil.

These activities can degrade land quality, affecting ecosystems and human health.

1. There are factories which may dump untreated waste discharge into water bodies. There are leakage of fuel from storage tanks into water bodies. There are agrochemicals from agriculture washed into water bodies. Surface run-off from the streets carries oil, rubber, heavy metals and other contaminants from vehicles into the water bodies.

2. The water would be very polluted that humans cannot use and there would be a shortage of water.

# data[].attributes.body
The furniture in our homes are usually made of wood, which comes from forests. The electricity that powers our appliances in our houses comes from burning natural gases.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans producing a lot of waste especially in factories, offices, schools and homes.

# data[].attributes.body
Groundwater and surface water can be contaminated from many sources such as garage dumps, toxic waste, chemical storage and use areas, leaking fuel storages tanks and the international dumping of hazardous substances.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans produce a lot of waste, especially in factories, offices, schools and homes. Many cities have to build landfills to dispose waste product.

# data[].attributes.body
Surface run-off from the streets carries oil, rubber, heavy metals and other contaminants from vehicles, pollutes water bodies. Dumping of untreated waste from factories into water bodies will also pollute the water.
