Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation  

Explanation:

There is an increasing demand for materials and natural resources from a growing global population, especially those in more economically developed countries. The world's resources are being used up more quickly. The consumption of resources is spread unequally between MEDCs (more economically developed countries), who use more resources, and LEDCs (less economically developed countries), who use less.

The gap between the rich and poor is more evident when the resources are shared so unevenly and unfairly and natural resources like materials and natural energy cannot reach the demand of the people which can have consequences and be very difficult to manage. Having a lack of these materials in a country can result in prices going up for them, and the industry could be harder to work in because of a lack of materials.
