How long can the earth s resources last, and how many years can the earth s resources last?

Want to see if humans will save?

There were scientists** who said that in a few years humanity would be completely destroyed. One of the reasons is that with the continuous development of human technology, the earth's resources will become more and more depleted, which will eventually lead to the extinction of human beings. However, this view is not accepted by most scientists.

Some scientists believe that before the earth's resources are exhausted, human beings have already developed higher, and human beings may have rushed out of the solar system at that time, and can be mined on many planets to provide the resources needed by human beings.

Of course, there are also scientists who believe that if the earth's resources can be used rationally, they can continue to benefit mankind. As long as human science makes use of the earth's resources and reduces environmental pollution, human beings can survive and develop on the earth for a long time. Throughout human history, from ancient times to modern times, several major scientific and technological revolutions of mankind have continuously improved work efficiency and reduced resource consumption.

In the beginning, the first human ancestors learned to use fire, using fire to hunt beasts, and also using fire to warm themselves, and to light up the night. The importance of fire to human beings can be imagined, and people are inseparable from it all the time. But there is not so much wood on the earth for human beings to keep cultivating, what can we do?

Humans used their ingenuity to invent oil lamps, which served as lighting without burning trees. However, with the expansion of human activities and the frequent travel at night, a few oil lamps can no longer meet the needs of human beings. In this way, electricity and lighting came into being, and human beings used electricity to make light bulbs shine and provide light for thousands of households.

But people are gradually discovering that thermal power generation requires the use of a large amount of coal resources, although there are a lot of coal resources on the earth, it will be used up one day. Therefore, mankind began to study renewable resources, and invented hydropower, wind power, solar power and nuclear power. The emergence of many new energy sources has not only improved the atmospheric environment, but also retained a large number of coal resources.

Make the earth cleaner and cleaner.

We know that China is a big oil importer. Chinese have a large population base and a large amount of oil, but the distribution of oil around the world is extremely uneven, and China's current oil exploitation situation is far from self-sufficient. However, despite the abundance of oil reserves in the Middle East, there will be a time when they are exhausted.

Once the earth's oil runs out, will all the cars invented by mankind have to be parked on the side of the road and become scrap metal?

In fact, scientists thought about this a long time ago and invented electric vehicles to cope with the shortage of oil and also benefit the planet's environment. In fact, the earth's resources are still quite abundant, but we have not been able to make full use of them. Inexhaustible energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, and hydro energy have only been learned to be used in recent years, but the efficiency of utilization is not high.

In addition, scientists have found that some ore energy sources are indeed scarce on Earth, but there are just some planets in the universe that are covered with scarce ore resources on Earth. Scientists believe that one day humans will travel in space in spaceships and use the mineral resources of different planets for the benefit of mankind.

It will take thousands of years for the earth's resources to be exhausted now, but the speed of human exploitation and the deterioration of the environment will accelerate the depletion of resources.

Scientists used to ** that in a few years all humanity would be destroyed. One of the reasons is that with the continuous development of human technology, the resources on the earth will be more and more depleted, which will eventually lead to the extinction of the human race. However, this view has not yet been recognized by most scientists.

Some scientists believe that humanity had a higher development before the earth's resources were exhausted. At that time, humanity may have rushed out of the solar system and could be fully exploited on many planets to provide humanity with the resources it needs.

5 billion years. Because the earth's resources are recyclable, they will only be depleted when the earth disappears.

At present, the total amount of proven recoverable oil is 121.1 billion tons, which can be exploited by mankind for about 30 40 years.

The market tells us that the answer is not so, not only did oil not climb sharply, but it still fell and rose in a healthy trend, why is this? In fact, mainly because of the progress of science and technology, mankind has discovered a new resource - shale oil.

According to the statistics of relevant information, the current reserves of shale oil are about 11 trillion 13 trillion tons, which is not at all comparable to oil, which can be used by mankind for 3,000 to 4,000 years.

What's more, this is only the proven reserves so far, and with the continuous development of human science and technology, more shale oil will certainly be explored, and all shale oil on earth will be able to be used by humans for at least 3,000 years.

Shale oil has been quietly waiting there, but human beings have not had the corresponding extraction technology before, and according to this situation, how many similar new resources on the earth are waiting for human beings to explore?

In fact, resources are not only natural gas, oil and coal that can be burned, but also sunshine, water and even wind everywhere.

For example, solar energy, although the current level of human technology is not enough to use 100% of solar energy, if you ignore the life of the sun, solar energy is simply endless and inexhaustible.

In the same way, wind energy, hydro energy, tidal energy, and geothermal energy can all bring a very intuitive effect to human beings, and there are countless similar resources. If human science and technology are developed in the future, the "Dyson sphere" will be directly manufactured, and there will be no shortage of resources.

When technology reaches a certain level, humans can use spaceships to transport resources from other planets to Earth!

Human beings have been living on the earth for thousands of years, and all kinds of minerals are limited, and one day they will run out. Like our coal mines, the daily consumption is very large, although the earth has a large stock, but one day it will run out. Not to mention other rare metals, they are already scarce, but it does not mean that they are also scarce on other planets, and it must be said that on a certain planet, the resources of a certain mineral are very, very rich.

When local resources run out, what to do, what to do? One way is to find new energy sources to replace them, with renewable energy; The other way is to rely on the development of science and technology, and use spaceships to transport them from other planets to the earth, which seems impossible now, but the development of science and technology to a certain extent, this is very simple, and the transportation cost is very low.

The development of science and technology is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, just like we use WeChat and Alipay today, which was unimaginable 30 years ago, we look forward to that day, and we can't see that day at all, but that day will come after all!

The earth's resources are not endless, they are finite, and so at some point, they will one day run out. However, this does not mean that resources will be completely exhausted in the foreseeable future.

Many resources, such as renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, will not be exhausted because they are renewable. In addition, advances in technology and the development of science can also help us to use and develop existing resources more effectively, and even unearth new resources that have not been discovered or used before. Therefore, as long as we take the right measures, including sustainable development and use of resources, resource scarcity may not become an inevitable problem.

However, if we continue to consume and waste resources in the current way, then resource shortages may become a serious problem in the future. To avoid this, we need to take measures, including reducing waste, encouraging sustainable development and the use of resources, promoting environmentally friendly technologies, developing new alternative resources, and so on.

There is a finite amount of resources on Earth, but not all of them will be exhausted. Some resources can be recycled or reused, while others may be depleted.

For example, natural resources such as water, solar, and wind power can be recycled, while limited resources such as coal and oil can be depleted. In addition, some resources can be used by the core chain, such as metals and plastics.

Some resources are at risk of depletion if humans continue to consume them without taking steps to conserve and regenerate them. Therefore, we need to adopt a positive and sustainable approach in the use of resources, reducing waste and pollution as much as possible to ensure the sustainable use of resources.

At the same time, the development of science and technology can also promote the efficient use and regeneration of resources. For example, the development of new energy technologies can reduce dependence on fossil fuels, while the research of new materials can improve the efficiency and utilization efficiency of resources.

Therefore, while the planet's resources are finite, if we adopt a sustainable approach and use and conserve them wisely, we can make these resources more sustainable and sustainable.

Yes, the resources on Earth are not unlimited, they are limited. Some resources, such as fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, may be exhausted at some point in the future as they continue to be extracted and used. But on the other hand, advances in science and technology can also help us use resources more efficiently, develop new energy sources**, and slow down the rate of resource depletion.

In addition, the global awareness and action to care for the environment will also help to reduce the waste of resources. Therefore, how to balance human demand for resources and the responsibility to protect the environment is a major issue that needs to be paid attention to and solved.

Earth's resources are finite, but they won't all be used up.

This is because most of the earth's resources can be regenerated or reused, and technological progress will also make us use resources more efficiently.

Some resources, such as fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal, are at risk of depletion because they are finite non-renewable resources on the planet. However, we can mitigate this risk by saving energy, developing renewable energy, etc. In addition, for other resources, such as water, land, forests, etc., we can also achieve sustainable use through scientific management and conservation to ensure that they are not over-exploited or destroyed.

In addition, the use and distribution of resources on the planet are also affected by political, economic, and other factors. If we can distribute resources more equitably and reduce waste and overconsumption, then we have more opportunities to use them more sustainably and more wisely.

In general, although the resources on Earth are limited, we canThrough the progress of science and technology and rational management to achieve sustainable use, to ensure that resources will not be over-consumed and destroyed.

I think you're talking about mineral resources (non-renewable resources such as coal and oil) that are commonly used today. In fact, it is impossible to have an accurate assessment of such resources. At least that's what I think.

In our school, individual professors have their own opinions, and experts from the Ministry of Land and Resources have their own assessments. Although the state conducts a uniform assessment of mineral resources at regular intervals, the conclusion of each assessment will change. The main influence on the conclusion depends on the current exploration and development efforts, as well as the current popular theoretical knowledge.

In fact, knowledge in earth sciences, like knowledge in other disciplines, is constantly evolving. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, experts and scholars at home and abroad believed that China was an oil-poor country. Later, Li Siguang founded geomechanics, and China's geologists took this theory as a guide to discover a large number of oil fields such as Daqing and Shengli.

And now, this set of theories created by Minister Li Siguang is outdated (at least now no one in China wants to inherit his doctrine, and it is Wegener's plate theory that is now in vogue). Of course, this theory has its own flaws, and I think it will become obsolete sooner or later, and hopefully the next theory will be created by a Chinese person from NB). As the theoretical knowledge continues to improve, the calculated evaluation results will also be different.

What's more, the views of experts and scholars are not completely unanimous. So the accuracy of the results is compromised again. In conclusion, having said all that, my point is that the estimation of mineral resources cannot be as precise as mathematical calculations.

There's no need to worry about it. All we have to do is try not to waste the country's resources. Really, I hope that everyone will start with me, start with small things, and think more about the country.

Because how many resources there are on the planet.

The year it was used up.

But I think we're all dead.

There's no need to care so much.

The above replies have a serious misunderstanding, thinking that energy is conserved, so the energy will not be used up, ridiculous!

In fact, although energy is conserved, the amount of energy that can be used is less and less. For energy to be usable, there must be an energy difference. If all the energy differences are gone, there will be no more energy available.

You should learn the second law of thermodynamics. Energy can only be automatically transferred from a high-energy object to a low-energy object. If cold water is put together with hot water, the energy of the hot water is available (it can be used to heat cold water). But after the temperature is the same, the energy is still there, but can you use it?

There are many kinds of resources, such as oil and minerals, which have been accumulated over millions of years of solar energy. Use a little less. The earth's resources are not endless, and it is said that at the current rate, oil can only last 60 years and coal can only last 200 years.

This is the so-called energy crisis, in fact, the crisis is not only energy, iron ore, copper ore and other mineral deposits will be depleted sooner or later. It is estimated that it will take 200-300 years to consume all resources.

I've studied this issue specifically, and if you're interested, you can take a look at the previous articles.
