Definition-The amount of those resources which is limited in nature are called “exhaustible natural resources”.

Explanation

They can be exhausted by human activities

A natural resource that cannot be increased by the natural forces of the environment is called exhaustible natural resources

The quantities of exhaustible resources are effectively fixed and thus the more used today, the less is available for use in the future.

It is possible, and even expected, that exhaustible resources will be exhausted at some time in the future

Common examples of exhaustible resources are the three fossil fuels -- petroleum, coal, and natural gas

Humans today extract and use around 50% more natural resources than only 30 years ago, for a current total of about 60 billion tons of raw materials a year
