a natural resource that can be replaced at the same rate at which the resource is consumed

energy derived from the sun in the form of solar radiation.

the movement of air caused by difference in air pressure.

the liquid content of a river, inlet, etc., with reference to its relative height, especially as dependent on tide

organic matter that can be a source of energy; the total mass of the organism in a given area

of or relating to the internal heat of the earth.

combustible matter used to maintain fire, as coal, wood, oil, or gas, in order to create heat or power.

a resource that forms at a rate that is much slower than the rate at which it is consumed

a nonrenewable energy resource formed from the remains of organisms that lived long ago

official supervision of rivers, forests, and other natural resources in order to preserve and protect them through prudent management.

the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment

any substance, as certain chemicals or waste products, that renders the air, soil, water, or other natural resource harmful or unsuitable for a specific purpose.

the contamination of the atmosphere by the introduction of air pollutant from human and natural resources

contamination of water, especially surface water, by sewage effluent, fertilizer runoff, industrial chemical discharge etc.

plowing across a slope following its elevation contour lines. On sloped land, contour plowing is done such that rows are side by side but each row follows a path such that every point on it is at the same elevation.

a growth of trees, a structure of boards, or the like, serving as a shelter from the wind.

a technique where farmers plow with the curve of the land insted of in straight lines

a system or the practice of rotating in a fixed order the kinds of crops, as grain or grass, grown in the same field, as to maintain soil fertility

(of land) plowed and left unseeded for a season or more; uncultivated.
