Is air a scarce resource?

A scarce resource is any material good that has a limited supply. Technically, air is a scarce resource, like all material, due to the law of conservation of matter. However, because it is initially plentiful and renewable on a mass scale, there's little reason to fear a shortage, which mustn't be confused with scarcity.


Is air scarce?

Air is not generally considered scarce on Earth, as it is abundant in the atmosphere. However, air quality can be compromised in certain areas due to pollution, which can make clean air seem scarce. In isolated or high-altitude locations, breathable air may be less available, but for the most part, air is plentiful for human needs. The focus should be on maintaining air quality rather than availability.

Is gold plentiful or scarce?

Gold is considered scarce due to its limited availability in the Earth's crust and the challenges associated with mining it. While it can be found in various locations around the world, the extraction process is complex and requires significant resources. Additionally, the total amount of gold that has ever been mined is relatively small compared to other metals, contributing to its perception as a precious and valuable resource.
