    Question

    What resource does Earth receive directly from outside the

    planet rather than from natural resources?
    A Minerals Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Coal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Natural gases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Energy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Energy, particularly solar energy from the Sun, is the only resource listed that comes directly from outside Earth rather than from the planet's natural resources. The Sun provides solar radiation that powers life on Earth, supports photosynthesis in plants, and drives weather patterns, ocean currents, and the water cycle. Other forms of energy from space include cosmic radiation, though it's not harnessed as efficiently as solar energy. In contrast, minerals, coal, and natural gases are all extracted from within Earth's crust.
