1. ENERGY RESOURCES AND BIOTIC RESOURCES NAME: Tarun Aswani ROLL NO:34 EN NO:1C2400204011005

2. Energy Resources and Biotic Resources Energy and biotic resources form the foundation of our modern world. They power our societies and sustain life on Earth. Understanding these resources is crucial for sustainable development and environmental conservation.

3. Introduction to Energy Resources 1 2 3 Modern Era Diverse energy mix includes fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewable sources. Ancient Times Humans relied on biomass and animal power for energy needs. Industrial Revolution Coal became the primary energy source, powering steam engines and factories.

4. Fossil Fuels: Oil, Natural Gas, and Coal Liquid hydrocarbon formed from ancient organic matter. Powers vehicles and industrial processes. Natural Gas Gaseous hydrocarbon used for heating and electricity generation. Cleaner than coal and oil. Coal Solid fossil fuel with high carbon content. Still widely used for electricity production. Fossil fuels are a group of energy sources formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals We'll cover the three main types: oil, natural gas, and coal Oil is a liquid hydrocarbon that powers vehicles and industrial processes Natural gas is a cleaner-burning gaseous hydrocarbon used for heating and electricity Coal is a solid fossil fuel with high carbon content, still widely used for electricity production These fossil fuels have been crucial to powering modern civilization, but their use also comes with environmental challenges we'll need to address Oil

5. Renewable Energy Sources: Solar, Wind, Hydroelectric Solar Wind Converts wind's kinetic energy into electricity. Onshore and offshore installations available. Hydroelectric Generates power from flowing water. Provides consistent baseload electricity. Harnesses energy from sunlight. Rapidly growing technology with decreasing costs.

6. Nuclear Energy Fission Process Splits atoms to release energy. Produces large amounts of electricity with minimal emissions. Safety Concerns Requires stringent safety measures. Radioactive waste management remains a challenge. Future Prospects Research into fusion technology continues. Small modular reactors offer potential advantages.

7. Biotic Resources: Definition and Importance 1 2 3 Economic Value Support industries such as agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. Living Components Biotic resources encompass all living organisms in an ecosystem. Ecosystem Services Provide essential services like pollination, nutrient cycling, and climate regulation.

8. Forests as Biotic Resources 2 3 1 Biodiversity Hotspots Home to countless species, supporting complex ecological networks. Carbon Sequestration Forests act as carbon sinks, mitigating climate change impacts. Sustainable Management Balancing conservation with responsible timber harvesting and non-timber forest products.

9. Fisheries as Biotic Resources Type Marine Freshwater Aquaculture Challenges Overfishing Pollution Disease Sustainable Practices Quotas, Marine Protected Areas Habitat Restoration, Aquaculture Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture

10. Challenges in Managing Biotic Resources Overexploitation Unsustainable harvesting leads to resource depletion. Requires strict regulations and enforcement. Habitat Loss Urban expansion and agriculture threaten ecosystems. Conservation efforts are crucial. Climate Change Alters species distributions and ecosystem functions. Adaptation strategies needed. • Biotic resources are the living components of ecosystems, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. • Managing these resources is challenging due to a few key issues: • Overexploitation - Unsustainable harvesting practices can deplete resources. Strict regulations and enforcement are needed to prevent this. • Habitat loss - Urban expansion and agricultural development are destroying natural ecosystems. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect remaining habitats. • Climate change - Shifting temperatures and precipitation patterns are altering species distributions and disrupting ecosystem functions. Adaptation strategies are required to mitigate the impacts. • We'll need to address these challenges through a combination of policy, technology, and community engagement to ensure the long-term sustainability of our biotic resources.

11. Sustainable Utilization of Energy and Biotic Resources 1 2 3 Energy Transition Shift to renewable sources and improve energy efficiency. Circular Economy Minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency through recycling and reuse. Ecosystem-Based Management Holistic approach considering all ecosystem components and human activities.
