What natural resources are found in the sahel?
not much of anything. certainly not water since it has been in a drought since the 70s.
Why is it important to use all natural resources carefully?
We only have one go at most natural resources, and with the world population increasing rapidly and becoming more industrialised, there is concern that some resources may become scarce. The recycling ethos has developed to try to make better use of what has already been used once, along with attempts to use energy sources more economically.
What is renewable and natural resources?
Renewable resources are resources that can be used over and over again. When this word is said, think about energy. Burning Fossil Fuels is not good because you can use the same thing you've used over again; you'd have to go find a new source of fossil fuel. However, Wind is renewable because it can be used over and over. And so is hydroelectric energy, where we build some buildings to harvest water's rushing power. Natural resources are resources that are found on earth. Such as trees or fossil fuels. It has been naturally created.
How are natural and artificial satellites similar?
Super has been to natural satellites but hasn't been to artificial satellites
Why should you be careful using natural resources?
1. MANY NATURAL RESOURCES CAN BE USED UP FOREVERBecause many of our natural resources are not renewable - as in, once they run out, they'll be gone. Another reason is that if something should happen to them - for example, dangerous chemicals in our water - the damage will be at the best, expensive, and at the worst, permanent. Finally, our natural resources are important to more things than just us - they are also vital for animal and plant species. Here is Wikipedia's description of non-renewable natural resources:"A non-renewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown. Often fossil fuels, such as coal, petroleum and natural gas are considered non-renewable resources, as they do not naturally re-form at a rate that makes the way we use them sustainable. This is as opposed to natural resources such as timber, which re-grows naturally and can, in theory, be harvested sustainably at a constant rate without depleting the existing resource pool. In this sense, all mined resources, stone, metals, uranium, and various other materials and minerals should be considered non renewable."2. WE ARE USING UP THESE RESOURCES TOO MUCHWhat's bad is that we are over-using our non-renewable natural resources! "Natural resources such as coal, oil, or natural gas, take millions of years to form naturally and cannot be replaced as fast as they are consumed. Eventually they will be used up. At present, the main energy sources used by humans are non-renewable; renewable resources, such as solar, tidal, wind, and geothermal power, have so far been less exploited. Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas generate a considerable amount of energy when they are burnt (the process of combustion)."3. WE DON'T NEED THESE RESOURCES AS MUCH AS WE THINK WE DOWhat are we using these non-renewable resources for? For the most part, energy - keeping our cars running, our air conditioners working, and our ceiling lights on. The problem is that we in North America are using way more energy than we need. We're wasting it, basically. There are alternatives, and I've pasted a link with more information in the sources section.4. USING THESE RESOURCES DOESN'T JUST HURT THE RESOURCES, IT HURTS THE ENVIRONMENTAnother problem is that non-renewable resources are high in carbon, and this means that when we use them as fuels, their carbon goes into our atmosphere. There, it sits like a blanket and keeps heat from the sun close to the earth, rather than letting it "bounce back" to outer space. So our summers and winters get steadily hotter, our weather gets more turbulent (more hurricanes, for example) and places that help keep us cooler - like the North Pole - start melting dangerously.Basically, we generally think that "everything will be okay" - but it isn't that simple. We're using things up, now more than ever, and that's why we should be careful!
What actual resources?
The resources which have been developed by man for use and which are being utilized are actual resources.

Why has the democratic republic of the Congo not been abke to take full advantage of its rich and natural resources?
The country does not have the equipment necessary to find many of the deposits of natural resources.
What is a reason why fossil fuels are called exhaustible natural resources?
Once coal, oil and natural gas has been burned, they can't be replaced. Therefore, they are not renewable resources.
The economic development of the South has been shaped by its natural resources and a climate that is?
warm
What is Britains natural resources?
Britain's Natural Resources have all but gone. There used to be huge iron and coal deposits but these resources are mostly used up now. Since the 1970's, there has been North Sea oil and natural gas, but that is all off-shore.
What are the natural resources that Israel has?
Huge resources of gas have been found recently in Israel´s territorial waters. This discovery will convert israel in one of the world exporters of gas. Before that, there was not any natural resources in Israel.
Advantages of cost accounting?
Cost accounting is a wonderful tool for the management to measure how the company resources has been utilized. It is very useful for the end users also.
Why weren't many colonial Americans concerned about protecting natural resources?
Many Americans now and in the past have been concerned about the use of the nation's natural resources. The main concern is that finding and then using such natural resources such as forest trees will deplete these resources despite the replanting of trees that have been cut down and used for lumber or paper products. Other natural resources such as oil and gas may require the destruction and quality of nearby rivers and streams and increase air pollution. The US State and Federal governments are working with "Green groups" and industry to minimize the damage to the USA's natural resources.
