Some resources are plentiful, others are not, for example, water is unlikely to run out because the tides are rising and we have the technology to purify sea water in desalination plants, other resources are running out, an example here is our fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. As a result we are trying to produce alternatives for these resources, for example solar power instead of fossil fuels or bamboo instead of using wood from our depleting woodlands and forests.
Another issue is food which is likely to become more sparse in areas without fertile soil or when there isn't the means to purchase food from other countries, in these cases more alternatives to farming are being developed, food is also being shared more evenly now than it used to be, though, if we shared all our food throughout the world then that, too, would be plentiful. In practice though, that is unlikely to happen.

How has the worlds population growth affected the worlds resources?
The rapid growth of the world's population has put pressure on resources such as water, land, and energy, leading to increased strain on the environment. This has resulted in depletion of resources, environmental degradation, and competition for limited resources. Sustainable resource management practices are crucial to ensure the well-being of both people and the planet in the face of population growth.
What is Population Size limited by?
Population size can be limited by factors such as availability of resources (food, water, shelter), predation, competition for resources, disease, and environmental conditions (such as climate and habitat suitability). These factors can influence birth rates, death rates, and migration patterns within a population, ultimately affecting its overall size.
What percentage of the world's population are under 18?
Approximately 30% of the world's population is under the age of 18.
When will the world population reach 10 billion?
The world population is projected to reach 10 billion by the year 2055, according to United Nations projections. This estimate is subject to change based on various factors such as birth rates, mortality rates, and advancements in healthcare.
Approximately one-third of the world’s population lives in countries that suffer from what scientists term?
Approximately one-third of the world's population lives in countries that suffer from what scientists term "water stress," where water resources are scarce or polluted. This puts a significant portion of the global population at risk of facing water shortages and related challenges.
What is New World Resources's population?
The population of New World Resources is 18,553.
What is it called when a population stablilizes and consumes just enough resources to keep population steady?
This is known as the carrying capacity, which is the maximum population size that an environment can sustain indefinitely with the available resources. When a population stabilizes and consumes just enough resources to keep the population steady, it has reached the carrying capacity of its environment.
Why does the human population continue to grow exponentially?
there are enough resources for each new member of the population to use
Explain the disadvantages of over population?
Not enough food or water or other resources to care for the population. Too much use of oil and all resources to create homes and everything else to maintain a population.
Is the world running out of resources?
Yes. Currently the human population needs approximately "3 earth's worth" of resources to sustain its population continually.
What is the cause of water resources increase?
World population and lifestyle.
What is the carrying capacity of people living on earth?
A population's carrying capacity is the amount of organisms a certain environment can sustain. If the number of organisms exceeds carrying capacity the resources in the environment will be depleted resulting in a carrying capacity drop followed by a drop in the population of organisms.
Causes and effects population?
The resources in the land become limited since the land use is no longer enough for agriculture
Why did Mexico fail to regain their northern land?
Lack of enough population, money and resources to support such attrition war.
Developed nations use how much of the world's resources?
20 percent of the population consume 75 percent of the worlds resources

Why population is unevenly distributed?
It is absolutely standard for the population of a country to be concentrated along and close to the sea and waterways, as in China. (Compare with the U.S. in this respect). It is also because the Western side of China has many mountain ranges and there is not enough Natural Resources for people to live. That is why China's population is gathered to the far East, where they have enough resources both from land and water.
