Solution

Sure, I can do that. Here are the answers to your questions:

  1. A renewable resource is a resource that is inexhaustible and can be naturally replenished.
  2. A non-renewable resource example is Coal.
  3. A point source of pollution is a single identifiable location or localized area releasing pollutants.
  4. The sector most commonly associated with point source pollution is Industry.
  5. An example of non-point source pollution is Agricultural runoff from fields.
  6. One of the reasons for the addition of undesirable substances to water bodies mentioned in the passage is Fertilizer and pesticide runoff from farms.
  7. Eutrophication is the excessive nutrient enrichment of water, leading to increased plant and algal growth.
  8. The impact of eutrophication on dissolved oxygen levels in water bodies is Depletion of dissolved oxygen levels.
  9. Terrestrial life-forms require fresh water instead of saline water because their bodies cannot tolerate or get rid of high amounts of dissolved salts in saline water.
  10. Most of the water on Earth's surface is found in ice-caps at the two poles and on snow-covered mountains.
