Q What consequences face if non-renewable resources get exhausted in the world ?
Non- renewable resources are recyclable and non- recyclable. These resources take millions of years in their formation. Some of the resources like metals are recyclable and some like fossil fuels cannot be recycled and get exhausted with their use. Development in the present should not compromise with the needs of the future generations.
This would lead to mass scale socio-economic and environmental problems like
- depletion of land resource would lead to scarcity of cultivable lands
- global warming,
- ozone layer depletion,
- Environmental pollution ,
- land degradation,
