As the number of people increases, the strain on the natural resources of Earth increases. The current population is 7.6 billion and growing. The population will eventually create a greater demand on Earth's resources, and there is not enough to sustain this large growth. By 2100, the human population will eventually stabilize between 8 and 11 billion.

Examples of finite resources include petroleum and coal.]]> 2021-08-16 17:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gboisvert1/fw6q8bf92m0navca/wish/1680823969 https://padlet.com/gboisvert1/fw6q8bf92m0navca/wish/1680825375 definition: the diversity of life forms in an environment]]> 2021-08-16 17:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/gboisvert1/fw6q8bf92m0navca/wish/1680825375 https://padlet.com/gboisvert1/fw6q8bf92m0navca/wish/1680825441 The ability to grow food to nourish the human population]]> 2021-08-16 17:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gboisvert1/fw6q8bf92m0navca/wish/1680825441 https://padlet.com/gboisvert1/fw6q8bf92m0navca/wish/1680825964 Wheat, corn, and rice provide most of the human diet.]]> 2021-08-16 17:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gboisvert1/fw6q8bf92m0navca/wish/1680825964 https://padlet.com/gboisvert1/fw6q8bf92m0navca/wish/1680827204 Atmospheric gases, called greenhouse gases, trap heat near Earth's surface.

Coal, oil, and copper are examples nonrenewable which means that there is a set amount that cannot be regrown. Timber or fish are examples of renewable resources which means that they can be restored. The issue with these resources is that the demand for these is exceeding the rate at which they can be replenished.
