  1. 2. A job that brings money into an economy from somewhere else.
  2. 3. How much of a resource is being taken from the ground each year.

  4. 6. A forest that has never been logged.
  5. 8. Things found in the total stock that people find useful.
  6. 10. Deposits of sand containing a heavy form of crude oil called bitumen.
  7. 11. The process of taking water from a store to be used, but it is not returned to the store after the use (e.g. it evaporates). It cannot be reused.
  8. 12. A job that circulates money within an economy.
  9. 14. An industry that focuses on making things using the products of primary industries. This sector includes manufacturing, construction, and utilities (the distribution of electricity, water and natural gas)
  10. 17. Fish farming.
  11. 20. Anything that can be used to produce goods and services, such as raw materials, workers, money, and land.
  12. 21. Resources that can be regenerated if used carefully.
  13. 22. All parts of the natural environment including energy, living organisms, and non-living materials. For example, sunlight, trees, and water are all part of the total stock.
  14. 23. Commercial fishing carried out close to shore in small, independently owned boats.
  15. 24. An industry that focuses on providing services. This sector includes “everything else” that is not included in the primary and secondary industries
  16. 26. Knowledge-based industries. Manufacturing based on the ideas, knowledge and skills of a well-educated workforce.
  17. 27. The process of managing a renewable resource to ensure that the amount harvested does not cause long-term depletion of the resource.
Down
  1. 1. Exploiting a renewable resource in an unstable way
  2. 4. Commercial fishing carried out farther from shore in larger company-owned boats.
  3. 7. A value used to show water availability.
  4. 9. Resources that are limited and cannot be replaced once they are used up.
  5. 13. An industry that focuses on producing or extracting natural resources. This sector includes forest industries, agriculture, mining and fishing.
  6. 15. Places in the world where water is stored.
  7. 16. Water held underground in tiny spaces in the soil or some types of rocks
  8. 18. Resources that are replaced by natural actions and must be used when and where they occur or be lost.
  9. 19. The process of taking water from a store (e.g. groundwater or a river) to be used. After the use, it is returned to the store, where it is available to be used again.
  10. 25. How much of a resource is thought to be in the ground, based on exploration to date.
