Definition of non-renewable resources

The goods and services offered by the nature of direct (i.e., when human intervention is not required) are known as the natural resources. This set can be divided between the renewed (which can regenerate provided that the operation is not excessive) and non-renewed resources or exhaustible resources. Non-renewed resources are those with reservations inevitably ending one day or another, being given that they cannot be produced, grown or regenerated to support their consumption rates. In other words, the consumption of non-renewed resources is greater than the capacity of nature to recreate them.
As an example of non-renewed resources, we will quote the oil. Once the oil reserves will be exhausted, it will not be possible to get this oleaginous natural liquid. Experts say that, nothing that to see the current rate of extraction and if not new deposits, found the world of oil reserves will eventually run out in less than half a century.
Minerals are also part of the non-renewed resources. The mining industry is responsible for the extraction of minerals and other materials of the Earth's crust; mining involves blasting mountains and other similar activities that literally demolish the field. If more minerals remain in the pits, they are then abandoned.
Protection and replacement of non-renewed resources are some of the major tasks for environmental groups. Solar energy and wind energy, for example, are alternatives to the use of oil and hydrocarbons.
