Is salt a limited resource?

No, salt is not a limited resource. It is found abundantly in oceans and salt mines around the world. Production and extraction methods ensure a steady supply of salt for various purposes.


Is a resource that is too expensive to extract said to be economically depleted or limited?

A resource that is too expensive to extract is considered economically limited rather than economically depleted. Economic depletion refers to a situation where a resource has been extracted to the point where it is no longer economically feasible to continue extraction. Economic limitation, on the other hand, implies that the resource still exists but is not economically viable to extract at current market conditions.


Is soil a limited or unlimited resource?

Soil is a limited resource because it takes thousands of years to form through the natural processes of weathering and organic matter decomposition. Human activities such as urbanization, deforestation, and intensive agriculture can degrade or deplete soil at a much faster rate than it can be replenished.


A needed resource that is limited in supply?

Fresh water is a critical resource that is limited in supply, with only about 3% of the world's water being fresh and readily available for human use. This scarcity is exacerbated by factors like pollution, climate change, and increasing demands from a growing population. Efforts to manage and conserve water resources are essential to ensure sustainable access for all.


How is fresh water both a renewable and a limited resource?

Its renewable because the ecosystem collects and purifies the fresh water. Its limited because the earth is only made up of 3% of fresh water and most of the other half is locked up in ice at the Poles.
