Then, eventually, we will exhaust the supply. There may then be other consequences.
Mass starvation or climate change, for instance

What are the three groups that geographers divide the Earth's natural resources into?
Recyclable resources, renewable resources, and nonrenewable resources.
Why is it important you use renewable resources not nonrenewable resources?
because non renewable resources are different and once there gone we can't get them back, for example trees are renewable cuz when you cut one you can plant another and it will grow again.
Can you give me examples of renewable and nonrenewable resources for kids?
Renewable energy sources are things that can be never stopped in nature. The sun, the wind, the earth's heat, and flowing water can never be stopped. Nonrenewable energy sources have been made by someone or something. Coal is dead animal bodies that got preserved in a certain climate. Petrolium and gasoline are the same, sad story. They should be replaced.
What energy resources uses heat from below earth's crust?
geothermal energy
What happens when the earth's atmosphere traps energy from the sun?
The suns energy when it reaches the earth's atmosphere encounters earth's plasma and three things happens. Some of the energy is reflected , some is absorbed and the rest is transmitted to the earth.
What are the three groups that geographers divide the Earth's natural resources into?
Recyclable resources, renewable resources, and nonrenewable resources.
What is earth most important nonrenewable energy source is?
the sun
Where do non renewable resources come from?
Nonrenewable resources come from the earth. They are basically decayed remains that form into fossil-fuels.
Why is it important you use renewable resources not nonrenewable resources?
because non renewable resources are different and once there gone we can't get them back, for example trees are renewable cuz when you cut one you can plant another and it will grow again.
Energy resources that are used faster than earth processes can replace them?
All of them are. That's why they're called "non-renewable".
What is the most abundant nonrenewable resource?
the most abundant nonrenewable source of energy is fossil fuel which had been created on our earth millions of years ago.
What two groups can Earth' resources be divided?
Two groups into which most of the Earth's resources can be divided include natural resources and energy resources. One might also divide resources into mineral resources and energy resources.
What are exhaustible natural resources?
Petroleum and Coal are examples of exhaustible natural resources. These resources are not-renewable - i.e. it is not possible to regenerate them naturally or through any engineering. These got made on Earth in the conditions when humankind had not emerged on Earth, and it was not even possible for human-being to live on Earth that time due to its environmental conditions.

What is the difference between a renewable and nonrenewable resource and how does it even relate to geothermal energy?
renewable energy resources are those that can be reused while non-renewable energy resources are those that,once used are lost forever and cannot be regenerated again.examples of renewable resources include:solar energy,paper,wind energy , water,etc.e.g of non-renewable resources:wildlife ,petrol,etc.renewable resources are available in nature in plenty but non-renewable resources are limited and at the same time cannot be regenerated after use. Geothermal is a renewable resource. We can take advantage of the hot rocks underground for a long time before the earth cools.
Are mineral resources nonrenewable?
Mineral resources are considered non-renewable because their production by earth forces on a geologic timescale cannot keep up with their consumption by humans on a human timescale.
What energy resources uses heat from below earth's crust?
geothermal energy
