Cultural Patterns of Resource Development
Resource Sustainability
Renewable resources
Clean to enviorment
Hydro Dams
Wind turbines
Quick to easy access
Easy to find
Can be found everywhere one earth
Renewable recourse such as air or water are very abundant
Non-Renewable resources
Takes long very long time to create
The process of creating fossil fuels from dead organisms sometimes can take hundreds of millions of years
Damaging to environment
Mining
Drilling
Fracking
One time use
Mostly consists of burning of recouce
Hard or impossible to Recycle
Consequences of Resource Management
Non-Renewable
Well Managed
If the non renewable resource is well manage there are no consequences as it will be preserved longer
Over use
If there is miss management of Non renewable resource there will be a chance we will use all of it until nothing is left
The over use also leave the environment where the resource comes from very damaged
Renewable
Over use
If the renewable energy is taken faster then it replenishes itself there will be damage done to the environment.
Example; If water is being taken from a water table in the desert faster than it can be replenished the permeability of the sand or soil will become less until water wont be able to be soaked into the sand and there will be no water
Well Managed
Keeps a healthy balance in-between taking and letting it replenish itself
Benefits and Drawbacks of energy production and use
Water
Drawbacks
Expensive to Start doing
Dams have to build
Flooding above the dam
Threat to humans and anamals
Loss of land
Blocks river for fish effecting wildlife
Benefits
Replenishes itself
Free
Mining
Drawbacks
Pollution and debris left behind
Leaves behind rock debris
Leaves behind polluted water
Destroys Eniorment
Landscape will never look the same
Benefits
We can get the resources that we were unable to get before
Foresty
Drawbacks
Destruction of Land
Loss and death of Animals and thier Habitat
Decrease in biodiversity
Lots of erosion
Increase of soil leaching
Benefits
If sustainable can provide good resource for a community
Trees are able to grow back
Helps economy
