Answer 3

One impact of obtaining nonrenewable resources is environmental degradation, as methods such as mining and drilling can lead to habitat destruction and pollution. With increasing population, there is a higher demand for resources leading to accelerated extraction rates which further exacerbate these environmental impacts. Additionally, competition for limited resources can lead to conflicts and geopolitical tensions, as countries vie for control over valuable nonrenewable resources.

Answer 4

Obtaining nonrenewable resources like coal and oil can harm the environment by causing pollution and destroying habitats. As more people need these resources, we use them up faster which makes the environmental problems worse. Because everyone wants these resources, countries might fight over who gets to control them, causing conflicts and problems around the world.

Answer 5

Nonrenewable resources harm the environment and are used up quicker as the population grows. This creates more pollution and habitat destruction. Competition for these resources can lead to conflicts between countries.
