Question

In three to five sentences, describe two impacts of obtaining nonrenewable resources and how these have been affected by increasing population.

Answer 1

Obtaining nonrenewable resources, such as fossil fuels, has a significant impact on the environment by contributing to air and water pollution, as well as climate change. The increasing population has led to a higher demand for these resources, resulting in more extraction and usage, exacerbating environmental degradation. Additionally, the depletion of nonrenewable resources due to their finite nature and increased consumption is rendering their availability scarcer, thereby driving up prices and creating social and economic challenges for the growing population.
