Answer 1

Obtaining nonrenewable resources has two major impacts. First, it leads to the depletion of these resources, as they cannot be replaced once they are gone. This can result in scarcity and higher prices. Second, the extraction and use of nonrenewable resources often have negative environmental consequences, such as pollution and habitat destruction. As the population increases, the demand for these resources also increases, putting even more pressure on their availability and exacerbating the environmental impacts.
