Nonresident resources include those wealth of nature that are not restored either artificially or naturally. These are almost all types of mineral resources and minerals, as well as land resources.
Minerals
It is difficult to classify minerals according to the principle of exhaustion, but almost all rocks and minerals belong to nonrenewable benefits. Yes, they are constantly formed deep underground, but for many of their species, millennia and millions of years are required, and in tens and hundreds of years, very few of them form. For example, deposits of coal are now known, which date back 350 million years.
By type, all fossils are divided into liquid (oil), solid (coal, marble) and gas (natural gas, methane). By use, resources are divided into:
The problem with the use of fossils lies in the fact that people with the development of progress and technology are increasingly consuming them, so some types of benefits may be completely exhausted already in this century. The more the demands of mankind in a particular resource increase, the faster the main minerals of our planet are consumed.
Land resources
In general, land resources consist of all the soils that are present on our planet. They are part of the lithosphere and are necessary for the life of human society. The problem of soil resource use is that land is being used up rapidly due to depletion, agriculture, desertification, and recovery is imperceptible to the human eye. Only 2 mm of soil is formed each year. To avoid the complete consumption of land resources, it is necessary to use them rationally and take measures to restore.
Thus, non-renewable resources are the most valuable wealth of the Earth, but people do not know how to properly manage them. Because of this, we will leave behind very few natural resources for our descendants, and some minerals are generally on the verge of full consumption, especially oil and natural gas, as well as some valuable metals.
