Question

Describe the impact of human activity on natural resources

Answer 1

In general, the human impact on the natural resources is negative.

Explanation:

The humans constantly stride to be as developed as possible and to live at a higher standard as possible. This means that the economies constantly need to progress, develop, and grow. In order for this to be achieved the humans need natural resources, mostly for energy, but also for numerous other things.

Because the demand for natural resources is constantly on the rise and it seems that it will be in the future as well, the natural resources are spent at a rate much faster that the time needed for them to replenish naturally. This leads to decrease of the natural resources and eventual putting end to some of them, in a process that benefits the humans for now, but on the long run can only be seen as destroying and over-exploration of these resources.
