Question

What type of problems are associated with overuse of natural resources?

Answer 1

HEY USER HERE IS UR ANSWER!!!!!

The exploitation of natural resources is the use of natural resources for economic growth,[1] sometimes with a negative connotation of accompanying environmental degradation. It started to emerge on an industrial scale in the 19th century as the extraction and processing of raw materials (such as in mining, steam power, and machinery) developed much further than it had in preindustrial areas. During the 20th century, energy consumption rapidly increased. Today, about 80% of the world’s energy consumption is sustained by the extraction of fossil fuels, which consists of oil, coal and gas. Another non-renewable resource that is exploited by humans is subsoil minerals such as precious metals that are mainly used in the production of industrial commodities. Intensive agriculture is an example of a mode of production that hinders many aspects of the natural environment, for example the degradation of forests in a terrestrial ecosystem and water pollution in an aquatic ecosystem. As the world population rises and economic growth occurs, the depletion of natural resources influenced by the unsustainable extraction of raw materials becomes an increasing concern.

Answer 2

Following are the problems that may occur due to overusing of the natural resources :

1. Deforestation

If the resources of nature are used up, huge trees will be cut down unlimitedly without any concern. This will create many problems and pollution in our environment and also among the organisms that are living.

2. Species' extinction

Due to overuse of resources, many species might get extinct. And this may lead to destruction of the balance of our nature.
