Study Notes
Natural Resources
- Inexhaustible natural resources can be renewed naturally and are not depleted by human activity, such as solar energy or wind power.
- Exhaustible natural resources, like fossil fuels and minerals, are finite and can be depleted through consumption.
Human Impact on Resources
- Air, water, and soil are vulnerable to degradation from pollution and overuse, which can lead to scarcity.
- Human activities, including industrial processes and agricultural practices, can diminish the quality and availability of these essential resources.
Man-made Materials
- Man-made materials consist of substances created by humans through processing or combination of natural resources, like plastics and synthetic fibers.
Water as a Resource
- Water is not a limitless resource; although it covers a significant portion of the Earth, freshwater availability is limited and subject to depletion due to over-extraction and pollution.
