1:10 q 1-18

2: Renewable resources can be renewed and reused, where as non renewable resorces one used can never be used again.
3: renewable recourses can become non renewable by over use and over harvesting it.
4: australian soils are old and fragile. But it is full of nutreanse because australia is so new that it hasent been sucked dry of nutreance. this exes nutriance makes crop plantation and harvest much easer and successful.

10:  because more areas of minireals are beeing uncovered because of increes in technology and discovery.
11 australia has one of the most % of there land covered by forrest, but <1% of is is being harvested annually and this is vastly destroing australias forrest land and forrest resorcess.
12: because 120000 tonnes of black coal would need to be burnt to get as much enegy as could be abtained from 1 tonne of uranium fule.
13: because thay are listed asa  WHS thay can not be touched by thr mining indestry so thay will highly likely have some recorces that have been untouched by man.
14: i think that uranium mining has advantages and dissadvantages but the advantages are mutch better in the long run than the dissadvantages because be need to fined a nother sorce of fule or we will kill this earth.
15: people are alowed to fish any where thay wand aslong as it is colse to australia and not out in te midle fo the sea becase thay are trying to same asmuch fish as poccible.

Year 9: Australia's Large Coastline

Australia has a big coastline and this is a very good thing for where we are positioned in the world, but there are some bad things that can happen when you have a big coastline.

A good point is that we get lots of tourists in summer because it gets very hot and so people go to the beach, so ausys build along the beach's which is great for tourists. 

One of the main bad points is that we are very venerable to tidal waves and earthquakes along the shore line. because we build along the beach's we don't get many Surinam's/tidal waves. so when they do hit they are very destructive.
