what natural resources are used to make a computer? what natural resource am i using to operate a computer?

Answer 1

I have a glass screen on my computer, and I know glass comes from sand. The keyboard has plastic buttons, and plastics are generally produced from fossil fuels. Also, the internal wiring is probably made of copper. Right now, my computer is plugged into the wall, which means that I am using electricity to power it. Electricity comes from fossil fuels or other natural forms of energy.

This is the sample answer from Edmentum
