Document Summary

Module 4 mining, weather and water resources. > we use up the resources we have and that"s why they"re wasting resources. > living resources, such as trees, fish, crops, soils, etc replace and restock themselves by births and growth. It"s possible to mismanage the stock of living resources however. > living resources are balanced and if it"s used up to the point where the population declines, then the stock can suffer permanent damage and never rebound. > a rock is an aggravate of minerals, therefore it"s a bunch of minerals that are stuck together and consists of several minerals. > a mineral is a solid inorganic chemical element/compound with a crystal structure that occurs naturally. Although minerals may come from organic processes, they are not technically organic (i. e: mineral deposits, such as gall stones in the body comes from organic processes but they"re not organic, as they"re deposited by organic processes)
