Obtaining nonrenewable resources has resulted in environmental degradation, as extraction processes often lead to habitat destruction, water pollution, and increased greenhouse gas emissions. The increasing population directly contributes to higher demand for these resources, further accelerating their depletion and exacerbating the environmental impacts. This has also led to increased competition, geopolitical conflicts, and economic disparities as countries vie for control over limited nonrenewable resource reserves, impacting global stability and development.
