(b) Afforestation
(c) More efficient heat transfer
(d) A combination of these

Answer 1

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

Nearly two billion people in world depend upon wood for cooking and heating. This leads to deforestation which ultimately results in soil erosion. But this fuel wood crisis can be overcome by using alternative energy sources like solar energy.

Answer 2

The fuel wood crisis can be overcome by (d) A combination of Efficient forest extractions, Afforestation, and More efficient heat transfer.

Fuel wood:

• Firewood, charcoal, chips, sheets, pellets, and sawdust are all examples of wood fuel.
• The specific form employed is determined by criteria such as source, quantity, quality, and application.
• Fuelwood is wood taken from forests and directly combusted for useable heat in the household and commercial sectors, as well as power in the electric utility sector.
• It is popular for wood burning since it burns well on its own, maintains a constant flame, and provides a lot of heat.

What is the issue with fuelwood?

• The outlook for fuelwood is bleak.
• Its supply must be primarily local, as its bulk and low value preclude long-distance transit.
• Fuelwood shortage makes gathering it a laborious chore that saps the energy of women and girls in many developing countries.
