Question

What is meant by depletion of resources? Give two examples of resources whose reserves have been diminishing rapidly in the last 100-150 years...please ❤

Answer 1

Resource depletion is the consumption of a resource faster than it can be replenished. Naturalresources are commonly divided between renewable resources and non-renewable resources (see also mineral resource classification)....
.
Non-renewable resources like fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) cannot be recycled. The problem of resource depletion arises here. When theresources are consumed at a rate faster than they can be replenished, it is termed as resource depletion. ... Problems like food and water scarcity arise when resources aren't available.

Answer 2

Depletion of resources is when a substance or item is being used up without any chance of being replenished.

In the last 100-150 years much of the coal and oil resources have been depleted, there is no way that they can be replaced because it has taken millions of years to create them. Once we have used them up there won’t be anymore.
