INTRODUCTIONEnvironment Science explains the factors which is man made related to the infrastructure,or events related to the surroundings. This present report based on environmental factors whichaffects environment badly. Environmental science discuss and interaction of the chemical,biological, physical components of the environment. It also explains the relationship of thesecomponents with the organism in the environment. This environmental science can be dividedinto three parts, Which helps to learn how natural world works, and how human affects theenvironment and how human being treat with the environment. Environmental science study isvery important for maintaining the environment healthy. Present report will explain about theresources demand and apart from these uses of renewable energy resources. Furthermore, thefuture resources supply required. Today's time environment get polluted by poisoning gas anddifferent types of other pollution. Which is not good for the human health. 1.Resource Demand Challenges Due to the increase in population the resources are facing major challenges in today's world. Theenvironmental resources are depleting day by day with the increase in demand. The number ofindustries manufacturing various products and commodities in increasing rapidly, and thus thedemand of the natural resources and raw material is getting very high(Bodzin, Anastasio andKulo, 2014). The manufacturing industries has increased their production level to meet thedemand of products within the market. The population is playing major role in the increase ofdemand for the products due to increase in the demand the industries needs to increase the supplyof the products so that they handle or meet the demand. This is processed by the raising of theproduction level, Industries have started producing or manufacturing a huge amount of productswhich has affected the use of natural resources. Due to increase in population and the industrial activities the non-renewable resourcessuch as coal, oil, gas etc are depleting rapidly(Buckleton, Bright and eds., 2016). The naturalsource of energy is consumed with a high demand. The industries use various non-renewableresources for example minerals and oil etc. to manufacture various products and this is affectingthe availability of resources. The prices of fuel and gas are increasing day by day due to theirscarcity. The resources are getting depleted and the demand is getting high. The non-renewableresources are hardly re-processed or can't be reused which is the major issue and reason for itsscarcity and importance. 1
Exploitation of ResourcesThe natural resources specially the non-renewable are used for the benefits of the humansand their established industries. The Exploitation refers to a process of using various resources inorder ton achieve some benefit or profit out of it. The people are using the environmentalresources with a high demand and earning their own benefits out of it. The resources are gettingexploited rapidly and they are at the point of depletion which is a major concern. The people areusing the resources such as trees, oil etc from wherever they can and after completely using itthey move to other place for a search of the same resources(Fizaine and Court, 2015).Types of resources The Natural resources are obtained from the environment, these resources are veryimportant for the survival of human beings and some are utilised in order to satisfy the desire ofhumans. The resources can classified in different categories such as - On the basis of originAbiotic resources including the non-living elements for example – water, land, air,minerals etc.Biotic resources – these resources are derived from the biosphere which includes theforest, animals, birds and the products related to them. Also, includes minerals such aspetrol and coal.On the basis of development stage Actual resources – these resources are presently being obtained from various parts of acountry with regards to the technology and cost available. These resources include theresources which are presently used by the mankind for there benefits and satisfaction.The examples include the petrol(Foy, et.al, 2013).Potential resources – These resources are presently available and will be used in thefuture. The resources are basically having a potential to be utilised in the future. Forexample the petrol is currently available as well as being used by the people and it will beused in the future.On the basis on Renew ability2
