An ecosystem considered to be sustainable when resources are not permanently depleted or damaged.
Fossil fuels are considered non-renewable because they are formed from ancient organic matter that takes millions of years to accumulate and cannot be replenished within a human lifetime. Once extracted and burned, they are permanently depleted and their reserves are finite, unlike renewable resources which can be replenished naturally over time.
No, metal is not considered renewable because it is extracted from finite resources in the Earth's crust, such as ores. Once these resources are depleted, they cannot be replenished in a human timescale. However, metal can be recycled and reused, making it a sustainable option.
Natural resources that are used to make goods and services and are considered finite include minerals (such as copper, iron, and coal), petroleum (oil and gas), and forest products (such as wood and paper). Other resources like water, air, and sunlight are considered renewable but can also be depleted if not managed sustainably.
Earth's main types of resources can be depleted through overexploitation, pollution, and habitat destruction. Overuse of resources like water, fossil fuels, and minerals can lead to their depletion. Pollution can make resources unusable, while habitat destruction can disrupt ecosystems and reduce available resources.
Mineral resources are typically considered non-renewable because they are formed over geological timescales and can be depleted through extraction at a much faster rate than they can be naturally replenished.
Resources are not permanently depleted or damaged an ecosystem is considered to be sustainable.
Stable or unchanging.
If ecosystem is decomposed, ecological imbalance will be caused. The ecosystem will be depleted.
Resources that are replenished faster than they are depleted are called renewable resources. Resources that are depleted faster than they are replenished are called nonrenewable resources.
Fossil fuels are considered non-renewable because they are formed from ancient organic matter that takes millions of years to accumulate and cannot be replenished within a human lifetime. Once extracted and burned, they are permanently depleted and their reserves are finite, unlike renewable resources which can be replenished naturally over time.
DEFINENTLY.
The human population has used natural resources. Some say the population has depleted, or nearly depleted, some natural resources, but others deny that.
Renewable resources such as solar energy, wind energy, and tidal energy are considered inexhaustible because they can be replenished naturally and are not depleted when used. Additionally, resources like air and seawater, which are constantly present in abundance, can be considered inexhaustible.
No, metal is not considered renewable because it is extracted from finite resources in the Earth's crust, such as ores. Once these resources are depleted, they cannot be replenished in a human timescale. However, metal can be recycled and reused, making it a sustainable option.
Natural resources are being depleted fast. This is due to over consumption of them.
sustainable use
Yes and they are being depleted.
