Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Ans:1)British had preserved official records since they felt it would later be simpler for them to research them and argue if they write and record everything. They maintained official records of what they felt was right, so that those records could serve as evidence of all the decisions they took in the future.
Ans:2a)Any natural substance that humans use can be considered a natural resource. ... Natural resources are used to make food, fuel and raw materials for the production of goods. All of the food that people eat comes from plants or animals. Natural resources such as coal, natural gas and oil provide heat, light and power.
Ans:2b)Renewable resources are solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, biofuels, cultivated plants, biomass, air, water and soil. In contrast, non-renewable resources are those that are available to us in limited quantities, or those that are renewed so slowly that the rate at which they are consumed is too fast.
