Explain the role of human beings and technology in resource transformation, reasons for resource planning, properties of Regur soil, definition of regolith, reasons for decreasing net-sown area in Ind

Here are the answers to your questions: I) The factor mainly responsible for the transformation of resources is human beings and their technology. Humans apply technology to convert natural resources into usable products and services. II) Resource planning has become essential in a country due to: • The uneven distribution of resources across different regions. • The need for sustainable development to ensure resources are available for future generations. • The problem of resource depletion and degradation caused by over-exploitation. III) Regur soils, also known as black soils, are capable of sustaining moisture sufficiently for a long time because they are rich in clayey material. This clayey texture gives them an excellent capacity to hold moisture. IV) Regolith is the layer of loose, unconsolidated material that covers solid bedrock. It includes dust, soil, broken rock, and other related materials. V) The share of net-sown area is decreasing in recent years in India primarily due to: • Urbanization and industrialization, which convert agricultural land for non-agricultural uses. • Land degradation caused by soil erosion, salinity, and waterlogging. • Increased demand for land for infrastructure development. VI) The main factor responsible for the degradation of land in Jharkhand is mining activities. Extensive mining operations lead to land subsidence, deforestation, and pollution, causing severe land degradation. That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
