Unregulated groundwater use leads to the "Tragedy of the Commons," with the eventual depletion of the resource and ruin to all.
False. Natural resources are materials or substances that exist in nature and are used by humans, such as water, air, minerals, and forests. They are not made by humans.
False. Geologists typically look for oil, gas, and other resources in sedimentary basins, which are located beneath the Earth's surface and are often several kilometers deep. The Earth's core, which is composed of iron and nickel, is located much deeper in the Earth and is not accessible for resource exploration.
True. Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished over time through natural processes. This means that they can be replaced or grown again, unlike non-renewable resources which are finite.
False. Renewable means that they'll return. Trees area a renewable source, as they can be planted and new ones will grow up within a reasonable time.
For the most part that is false. The major exception to this rule would be nuclear power. The fuel sources available for this form of power should last longer then the planet. That is not to say that there are not other issues involved with the use of this form of power.
Excess demand in an unregulated market will cause the price of a product to fall. True or False?
A false depletion in the electrolytes. The depletion of sodium will not be accurate.
false
false because it tend to produce less than the efficient level of output
No, the carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals that an environment can support sustainably. It is determined by factors like available resources, space, and competition for those resources. Populations must not exceed the carrying capacity to prevent environmental degradation and depletion of resources.
False. Depletion of the ozone layer allows more harmful UV-B rays to reach Earth's surface, which can cause damage to plants and animals. UV-A rays are less harmful than UV-B rays and are not significantly affected by ozone depletion.
No, it is false. The environmental risks with depletion if stratospheric ozone are greater.
false
True.
Economics doesn't truly care about the conservation of scarce resources, it only cares about how those scarce resources are used. The statement 'Economics is about conserving scare resources' is false.
Ozone depletion is primarily caused by the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons into the atmosphere, which break down ozone molecules. Unburned hydrocarbons can contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone, a component of smog, but are not the main cause of ozone depletion in the stratosphere.
False
