Agriculture
Overexploitation

Desertification
Loss of soil
serious consquences
Soil less fertile
Forests

forest fires
.
Expose the ground to weather conditions
caused
Soil
Erosion
Uprooting
Displacement
Rich soil disappear every year
Can't be recovered
Forest
One of the most threatened renewable resources due to abusive exploitation
Equatorial forests
Tropical forests
NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Industrial and economic development
High global population
Based on consumerism
Hydrocarbons
Oil
Natural gas
DEMAND FOR WATER
Is
renewable
and is
scarce
supply on our planet.
Pollution and
overexploitation of aquifers
or wasteful
are dangers due to its consumption in developed countries
Availability of drinking water
For people and animals
Level of development
Greatest amount of rainfall
Due to the equatorial climate
In not development countries don't have
A sewerage system
A water distribution network
Are
India
China
Central America
South America
The most advanced countries
Don't worry about the scarcity of water
It is a renewable good
conserved in
Whether in domestic consumption
Inadequate watering systems in farming
