Natural Resource Depletion - Reasons & Effects

Natural Resource Depletion

• Reason and Effects

What are Natural Resources??

• Natural resources are resources that exist
  without actions of humankind. This includes all
  valued characteristics such as magnetic,
  gravitational, electrical properties and forces
  etc.
• On earth it includes sunlight, atmosphere, water
  , land along with all vegetation, crops and
  animal life that naturally subsists upon or
  within the heretofore identified characteristics
  and substances.

Types Of Natural Resources

1. Renewable resourcesRenewable resources are
   those that are constantly available (like water)
   or can be reasonably replaced or recovered, like
   vegetative lands. Animals are also renewable
   because with a bit of care, they can reproduce
   offspring's to replace adult animals. If
   renewable resources come from living things,
   (such as trees and animals) they can be
   called organic renewable resources.If renewable
   resources come from non-living things, (such as
   water, sun and wind) they can be called inorganic
   renewable resources.
2. Non-renewable resourcesNon-renewable resources
   are those that cannot easily be replaced once
   they are destroyed. Examples include fossil
   fuels. Minerals are also non-renewable because
   even though they form naturally in a process
   called the rock cycle, it can take thousands of
   years, making it non-renewable. Non-renewable
   resources can be called inorganic resources if
   they come from non-living things. Examples
   include include, minerals, wind, land, soil and
   rocks.Some non-renewable resources come from
   living things such as fossil fuels. They can be
   called organic non-renewable resources.

What do you mean by Natural Resource Depletion?

• Resources are exhausted when it is being utilized
  quicker than it can recharge itself. The modern
  transformation is the point at which everything
  started.
• Resource depletion is the utilization of a
  resource quicker than it can be renewed. Normal
  resources are usually isolated between
  inexhaustible resources and non-sustainable
  resources .
• Utilization of both of these types of resources
  past their rate of substitution is thought to be
  resource depletion

What are the Natural Resources been Depleted?

• Water
• Coal
• Oil
• Natural Gas
• Fish

6
Reason For Natural Resource Depletion?

• 1. Fast population increase
• 2. Contamination,
• 3. High utilization of resources, and
• 4. Disintegration of land.

Effect of Natural Resource Depletion on Human
Health

• Poverty
• Atmospheric Changes
• Loss of Biodiversity

Solutions for Conserving Natural Resources?

1. Use of Alternative sources of power such as Solar
   and Wind energy.
2. Plant trees to prevent Soil Erosion.
3. Use pipelines to transport oil.
4. Treatment of industrial wastes and sewages before
   they are released in the water bodies.
5. Rain harvesting.
6. Use of biogas in our homes.
7. Use of bio-fuels.
8. Ensure the recycling of wastes.
9. Make use of electronic mails.
10. Use energy saving fluorescent bulbs
11. Practice crop rotation.
12. Constructions of reservoirs

Our livelihood is intimately tied to the food we
eat, water we drink and places where we recreate.
That's why we have to promote responsibility and
conservation when it comes to our natural
resources.
