Non-renewable
Non-cyclic
Abiotic
Cyclic
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is D. Cyclic.
Water is a cyclic resource because it is constantly being recycled through the Earth’s water cycle. The sun’s energy drives the water cycle by evaporating water from the Earth’s surface. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere and cools, condensing into clouds. The clouds release the water back to the Earth as precipitation, which can be in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. The water then flows back into the oceans, lakes, rivers, and groundwater, where it is available to be evaporated again.
The other options are incorrect.
- A. Non-renewable resources are those that cannot be replaced once they are used up. Examples of non-renewable resources include fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas.
- B. Non-cyclic resources are those that are not constantly being recycled. Examples of non-cyclic resources include minerals such as gold and silver.
- C. Abiotic resources are those that are not produced by living things. Examples of abiotic resources include water, air, and soil.
