GEOGRAPHY
CHAPTER: ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY: SUBJECT MATTER AND RESOURCE
Q: Briefly discuss about the relationship between resource and science-technology.
ANSWER: Resource and science-technology are intently connected with one another. The interrelationships between the two can be comprehended from the following points.
(I) Discovery of resource: Science has empowered man to find practically almost all the resources . A significant number of the mineral resources that we use today may may have remained buried deep somewhere inside the earth, had they not been extractedted by utilizing present day scientific technology.
(II) Transformation of neutral stuff: Because of the improvement of science and technology, a large number of the neutral stuff and resistance found on the earth are getting changed into resource, through the use of human aptitudes and efforts.
(III) Better usage of resources: Science and technology has encouraged better use of existing resources. New employments of a large number of the current resources are found by researchers and scientists, in this way making the current resources more useful to man.
Q: Write in brief about the organisations associated with resource conservation and their role.
Answer: The organisations associated with resource conservation and their role are talked about below.
(a) IUCN: IUCN represents International Union for Conservation of Nature. It was shaped in 1948 and has assumed an exemplary role in saving and preserving the current resources of the world.The Founder Director General of UNESCO Julian Huxley, the English biologist established IUCN. The principle of IUCN is to carry out study and research on global natural environment and natural resources including biodiversity and start appropriate measures.
(b) Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change: In India Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has been built up to co-ordinate the work of conservation of natural resources. It is responsible for the laws related with environmental assurance and preservation of natural resources.
(c) Non-governmental agencies: Non-governmental agencies like Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), Greenpeace India, Wildlife Trust of India, and so forth work for conservation of environment in India. In Assam, Assam Science Society, Aranyak, and so on have taken up the cause for environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, and so on.
Q: Write in brief about the relationship between resource and man.
Answer: There is a close connection between resource and man. One can't endure or develop without the other. Man is related with resource in two distinct ways.
(a) As a producer of resource: Man is a definitive producer of resource. Although a significant number of the resources valuable to man are given by nature, yet the greater part of them are found in their crude form or not in a useful state. Such resources are changed by man as indicated by his necessity into more consumable form. Subsequently, man is the prime mover of all resources.
(b) As a consumer of resources: Man is a consumer of resource. Man can't carry on with a typical existence without the utilization of useful resources like water, air, food, cloth, shelter, and so on. Subsequently, resources comprise a basic component for supporting life on earth.
Besides, man is considered as a resource himself. Human information and its degree are responsible for the dimension of improvement of resources.
Q: What is meant by 'conservation of resources'? What is its necessity?
Answer: Conservation of resources is the procedure of preservation and sensible utilization of resourcess to accomplish maximum utility, avoid inefficient utilization and misuse.
Following are the reasons prompting the need of conservation of resources.
I. Limited resources: Natural resources are unevenly dispersed and their supply is constrained. A large number of the resources that man utilizes today are exhaustible. This calls for preservation and appropriate usage of resources that a nation has.
II. Rising population: Expanded population is draining the current resources quickly. Despite the fact that, the nations like USA, Canada, Japan Germany and so on are not thickly populated, the utilization of natural assets is extremely high in these nations because of their economic headway. Indeed, even in the developing countries like India, the degree of utilization of mineral resources is very high. All these call for conservationvation of assets.
III. Protection of endangered species: Numerous plants and animals are getting to be endangered and extinct because of improper utilization of different resources. Huge numbers of the significant plant types of Assam, for example, Sarpagandha, Chalmugra, Arjun and so forth are very nearly getting to be extinct. Additionally, animals, for example, golden langur, hoolock gibbon, wild bison etc. are likewise getting to be endangered species. The pulverization of such biotic resources can bring about negative effect on the biosphere. Therefore, there is an urgent need to conserve every one of the resources of the earth in a prudent way.
