How renewable resources can be used against physical and mechanical process |
|
Answer» Answer: > renewable resources can be replenished or reproduced easily, at a rate comparable or faster than its rate of consumption by humans. Some of them (sunlight, air, wind, tides, hydroelectricity) are continuously AVAILABLE and their quantity is not affected by HUMAN consumption. They have also been named perpetual resources. Many renewable resources can be depleted by human use, but may also be replenished. Natural resources such as land, water, soil, plants and animals must be carefully managed, with a particular FOCUS on how management affects the quality of life for both present and future generations. Renewable resources are seldom PERFECTLY renewable. If their levels are heavily DECREASED, they may not be able to completely replenish themselves. Urban sprawl, cultivation, irrigation, grazing, deforestation, fishing, hunting, and habitat destruction can all be causes of the destruction of an otherwise renewable resource. There have been numerous efforts to prevent the mistakes that lead to the depletion of renewable resources. Despite this, destruction of renewable resources often proves to be profitable, and happens as a result. As we have become more environment-oriented in the last decade, we may hope for more reason in renewable resource management. |
